It's very easy to speak about things you don't know based on a newspaper article, especially when that newspaper is obviously biased. Just look at the site's news about Bolsonaro. All the news that criticizes Bolsonaro has not been proven true or did not reach a conclusion; in other words, they were proven to be purely political narratives. It's hard to argue these points. Everything the Brazilian Supreme Court has done is illegal. A Supreme Court that initiates investigations on its own, is an interested party, and at the same time is the judge. In other words, everything is wrong, everything is illegal. Purely political judgments, typical of dictatorships. Many of the people who were arrested in Brasília were trying to prevent others from committing acts of vandalism or damaging public property. In other words, the trial was done in groups, something the Brazilian Constitution does not allow; it was not individualized in any way to establish individual responsibilities. Not to mention that most of the people there were in favor of the military taking power, contrary to what Bolsonaro advised. Many thought Bolsonaro was too weak, and that’s why they were there protesting, asking the military to take over the government. Saying that Bolsonaro was responsible for those movements is pure lies. It is just an argument that the Supreme Court wants to use against Bolsonaro so that he can somehow be imprisoned, but he is very popular, and not even the Supreme Court can arrest Bolsonaro because there is no real reason. The most ridiculous thing is that well-educated people, because people who read Hacker News are well-educated, let themselves be carried away by these childish narratives.

Not at all. People all over the political spectrum have enacted protests exactly like that one multiple times now. Brasília has been occupied many times in protest of whatever. I even have pictures.

You know what's funny? Actual murderers here routinely get lesser sentences than those people got.
