Woman shot, killed after Waze GPS sends her into dangerous Brazilian favela


When traveling outside the US, you can't just take the shortest route from point A to point B. I had a close call when wandering into a favela called Joana Bezerra in Recife.

the Murmuras were requested directions to Quintino Bocaiuva Avenue — but the app directed them instead to Rua Quintino Bocaviba, which runs through the Caramujo favela.

I took the Recife subway system and didn't stop to consider you can't just get off at any stop like you would in Boston. I boarded at Rodoviaria (Bus Station) and exited at Joana Bezerra. You should read your Bible and recall what it says about being a false accuser.

I don't even like driving in Detroit. No way in hell I'm ever driving in Brazil.

Every Country south of the United States Mexico border is a Shit hole.... 3rd world hell holes where the leaders prey on their own people.

Ain't that the truth? The OP suggests we should be offended when life in Brazil is cheaper than a pack of smokes.

What if you were offered a six-figures salary as a Manager in a major corporation? Let's say there were three choices:

1) Reject the offer
You get to choose between offshore vendors with workers located in South America or India. You will need to travel on a quarterly basis to monitor the group for two weeks.
2) Accept a South American vendor and travel regularly to SA.
3) Accept the India vendor and travel frequently to Pune, India.

The above is a COMMON scenario.

Are you any one of these?

I'm what's known as a Subject Matter Expert. I don't manage other people and do my offshore interaction utilizing virtual conferencing and Shelvesets for code review.

Mark 12:17

Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at him.

Mark 4:19

but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.

@Tailfins - You seem too preoccupied with the deceitfulness of riches and worldly possessions..

You guys have an amazing way of turning simple questions into total bullshit. Your mothers must be proud.
