goose Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 4 U.S. Swimmers including Lochte, robbed by crooks dressed like cops? Or were they frikin cops????http://www.foxnews.c...-in-brazil.html"They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground," Lochte said. "I refused, I was like, 'We didn't do anything wrong, so — I'm not getting down on the ground.'"And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, 'Get down,' and I put my hands up, I was like 'Whatever.' He took our money, he took my wallet — he left my cellphone, he left my credentials." Lochte is a nut! Advise: Armed robber says get on the ground...get on the ground. It seems this story has a few contradictions - each athlete said a different thing about the car model and colour, and there´s footage of them arriving at the olympic village with all their belongings.Yeah, seems very fishy all of a sudden. http://newyork.cbslo...cs-ryan-lochte/"Ryan Lochte, aka Summer's Eve""Let's give these kids a break." I love that a 24yo man is considered a kid these days. I know, "The frontal cortex isn't fully developed till blah blah blah..." But that doesn't make you a kid. As noted above, it just makes you a douche. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever, Just posting what is reported. These games have been filled with all sorts of problems. I was really pessimistic before these games began, but now I'm positively surprised. Rio never hosted an event of this magnitude, and although I have my reservations about the massive public spending involved in organizing them, I don't think these games had more issues than previous ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than the recent Russian winter games, for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handball, is that the game they play where they don't actually use their hands....everything but right. I know of handball where you hit a ball against a wall that we used to play as kids in NYC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) What a nightmare!! http://www.dailymail...robbery-up.html Yeah, Lochte's a 32 year old big shot and team leader who runs out of Rio two days earlier and leaves a 20 and 21 yr old to be questioned for hours by foreign police and take the heat for him. What an idiot. #overgrownfratboy #uglyamerican #boomerphelpsrulesHe should go to prison, just for being involved in a reality tv show.

Roughly 15 miles from the largest complex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Dumb question, Rod: on tv all I see are favelas, urban and rural living conditions. Do you have the typical suburbs we have here with just rows of single family homes and yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the typical suburbs we have here with just rows of single family homes and yards? That's not a dumb question, it's an excellent one. Rio's occupation has always been chaotic, and almost every suburb, no matter how exclusive, has a favela nearby. It's the only city I've seen where the poor live on the hills, and the rich at the bottom. Some houses in favelas have ocean views like you wouldn't believe! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
