A woman is being held hostage on the streets of Brazil.
A 61-year-old homeless man named Francisco Erasmo Rodrigues de Lima was minding his own business when he saw what was going on.
He did what most of us would never do.
He lept into action and started fighting the gunman, identified as Luiz Antonio da Silva.
Luiz Antonio da Silva is 49 years old and he’s spent 22 of those years behind bars for causing bodily harm, theft, and damage of property – and that’s just the stuff he got caught for. The brave Francisco sleeps on the streets and begs for scraps, while Luiz slept comfortably in a cell on the taxpayer’s dime. It’s one of the great injustices of our time.
Warning: We’ve got a video of the whole thing on the next page, but it’s not for the feint of heart.
