Uhhh...yeah. The judge seized their passports on the fact that they didnt look too scared in a surveillance video a while after the mugging allegedly happened.

Yeah because everything in Brazil is totally on the up and up. This is based on Lochte saying it was 1 guy and the other guy saying it was multiple. That and them “looking like people who didn’t get robbed” on camera. It’s just not that serious.

It’s bizarre. I just saw the tape that the judge cited as them “joking around” and not being traumatized enough to have been robbed.

It’s possible that some cops went rogue, and the police want to make sure they track them down and get their cut, as well as punish those cops for unsanctioned freelancing.

Their police rob olympic swimmers at gun point, then seize the victim’s passports so they can be held until they recant their stories. Yes, Brazil looks very bad.

wait, you think Brazil is the one looking bad here? lol ok

Yes. No one else but.

They are looking for bribes. A few thousand and they'll be home on the next flight.

Yes.

That was my thought. The favelas explode damn near every night but they’re hellbent on questioning olympic athletes?

Corrupt Latin and South American legal systems have never had qualms about locking tourists up, and then milking them dry financially while extracting a metaphorical pound of flesh. It’s going to be interesting watching that institution butt heads with an IOC that is desperately trying to have the legacy of these…

Is lying to NBC an crime in Brazil? Don’t these dipshit police have real crimes to investigate?

Why would the brazilian government even try to pursue this further? Frankly it just makes the country look even worse and petty IMO.

The entire song’s lyrics are oddly fitting concerning Shortchange Stubfinger.

I mean, the man does have a head like a hole...

There have been polls showing zero support for Trump among black voters.

Yeah, but before Omarosa stepped in, that support was only at 1.38%

Brief reminder here to Ms. Omarosa that her favored candidate is currently receiving a miserable 1.5% support among black voters, putting him behind Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein.
