Brazil coup attempt

Bolsonaro's followers openly promoted their violent plans (to attack Brazil's highest government buildings) on antisocial media platforms, with hardly any hindrance.

The governor of the Brasilia region and its security chief were Bolsonarists, and did not cooperate in protecting the government from the planned riot. They have been fired.

It is good that they did not let all the rioters get away. But it would have been better to hold everyone who had attacked the government buildings, at least enough to identify them and search them. Bolsonaro's followers remain a threat to democracy and liberty in Brazil, and (due to their commitment to deforestation) to the survival of civilization as well.
