    Drug Gang Violence in Brazil

    Violence broke out in Rocinha, Brazil due to warring gangs coming into the neighborhood for control of the drug trade. This has led to schools shutting down and residents being advised to stay home. The Intercept attributes the drug violence to Brazil's continuation of the Drug War, contrasting the violence in Brazil with Portugal's successful decriminalization policy. What are your thoughts?
