So you go on local TV to talk about crime and thefts in Rio De Janeiro and what happens? Yes you guessed it right, a robbery attempt. A Brazilian woman has narrowly avoided being robbed - while being interviewed about local crime. The television crew's camera caught the thief's unsuccessful attempt to steal the woman's necklace.
The team was investigating thefts and muggings in an area of Rio de Janeiro notorious for crime.

They might be doing it for drugs, or maybe because these kids kinda learnt to like it, due to a lack of education and psychosocial development that ended up leading them to such a wrong path. Poverty + capitalism might be a determining factor as the only way to have an opportunity in life there is through very hardworking or money (it's hard to open a business there, too many taxes and bureaucracy).

@mjk6949 Rio is not even the worst, cities like Salvador, Recife, Natal, Fortaleza, Sao Luis and Manaus are all worse than Rio. Sorry, but you can walk around with your Rolex in any city in Ethiopia, Rwanda or Armenia without having to worry about an attack. In large Brazilian cities, you cannot even take your phone out "without being aware of your surroundings" and an expensive watch or jewelley is a BIG NO in Brazil. That some villages and small towns in Minas Gerais are safe does not change the fact that most large Brazilian cities are genuinely unsafe. You cannot walk around with valuables without fearing for your life and you cannot just walk around at night, yet in Armenia, Ethiopia or Rwanda, this would never be an issue. The murder rate is also not even comparable between Brazil and those countries.

What's with all these people wanting to kill petty thieves. Aren't you worse? At least they just have the mind to steal not to murder someone.
None of the other people try to help. The desperate thieves probably know that no one will bother to help the victims or try to stop the culprits. If the robbers knew that they had to escape through dozens of angry witnesses and bystanders they probably wouldn't be so brazen. It's is a shame that people are perfectly willing to allow people close to them, be robbed in the middle of the city centre, but will not even shout or try to stop the crimes.
