Leandro Lo confirmed brain dead after shooting.

[don't ask]

There's a thread about it in the grappling forum. Some douchebag was stealing drinks from their table and trying to provoke a fight, Lo held him down and told him to leave, dude walked around the club and shot Lo in the head. The shooter was an off-duty cop and a BJJ purple belt -- he definitely knew who Lo was.

EDIT: lol I guess we got some combined threads going on here

In Brasil there will be no justice, especially because the cops are involved.

rip Leandro the jiujiteiro

Horrible. And by a police officer of all people (off-duty).

Reading the article, this is why I tell everyone to walk away from anything even if you’re in the right. That off duty PO now has an attempted murder investigation on him while he’s on the run. He made threatening gestures towards Lo and he intervened and immobilized him and asked for the off duty PO to leave. Lo is brain dead now just horrible to see that over absolutely nothing. Hopefully his family can find peace and this soon to be former PO gets thrown in prison for a long time for his cowardly actions.

Damn shot by an off duty cop at a bar, terrible! He was in his prime too, damned shame. RIP and condolences to his family.

what the fuck is wrong w ppl

the guy was a off duty cop too..Honestly Lo shouldve kept his hands to himself. You never know who you are fucking with.

I've seen this news a bit. I am not familiar but it looks like he is universally regarded as a good person and influenced the lives of many positively so for that I pay respect.

He was considered the best or one of the best BJJ players in the world for most of the 2010's

In Brazil, apparently the police there are considered more dangerous than the criminals sometimes.

 

[Diogenes of Sinope]

woah. Used to follow him pretty closely back in the day. RIP

There's nothing more dangerous and less trustworthy than a volatile person with a gun.

R.I.P Mr Lo

If police are sketchy over in the US, theyre even sketchier in places like Brazil .

 

[Ozze]

If true, I hope the bastard spends the rest of his life biting pillows in a Brazilian jail. Piece of shit.

He won't. The maximum time someone can serve here in Brazil is 40 years. But even that is very rare because they can cut time off by working, good behaviour, etc., and also go to a semi open regime before the full completion of their time.

I understand. In many countries they are underpaid and aren't held accountable

Sad, makes you second guess how involved to get in other peoples messes..RIP..

This. You never know if some psycho comes back with a knife or gun.

 

[StunGUNsEXYAMA**]

Brazil has to make an example of dude. Harsh and painful.

You have to protect your champions that promote your country.

If wanderlei silva is ever killed in his own country my heart would break.

 

[scorpiorising]

This is why you should always walk away from fights. Sucks but I'd rather be right and leave than wrong and dead.
