Sandro Rosa and the Incident of Bus 174
1) Sandro Rosa do Nascimento was a struggling man who took to crime and one day boarded the public bus 174 on June 12th, 2000, in Jardim Botanico, Rio de Janeiro with the intention of robbing the passengers. The situation got heated fast when the bus driver escaped and the vehicle was blocked by a passing by military police car. TV crews, civillians and more officers flocked to the scene as Sandro Rosa took the passengers hostage. He demanded weapons and a new driver. If his demands weren't sated threatened to kill all of the passengers by 6 PM, he however had no intention of doing so. By 6 he faked shooting one of the passengers Janaina Lopes Neves and unsuccessfully attempted to exit the bus at 7 while using school teacher Geisa Firmo Goncalves as a meatshield. A police officer opened fire on Sandro who in panic accidentally killed the hostage along with the officer who missed his target and hit Goncalves. The whole event was aired live through the country. Sandro died while being taken to custody by the police.
2) What Sandro Rosa did was wrong but he was driven to commit his acts because he originates from the poor Favelas of Brazil. As a young child he grew up in a broken home with only his mother whose murder he later witnessed before his own eyes. Depressed and scarred Sandro survived by himself and under pressure of circumstances turned to desperate measures.
3) What Sandro Rosa did was wrong but he could have had found other (possibly less effective) ways to express his concerns. He could have discussed his thoughts and concerns with his friends or other activists that could have helped him accomplish his goals in a peaceful manner.
