I will stop the geolocalisation for now. Few thoughts before closing this thread:
- I covered the same way the US Capitol storm. Some of the videos are exactly the same.
- As contrary to the US Capitol storm, in the videos I saw, I didn’t see any military equipment or weapons.
- It needs to be proven, but it seems to be a coordinated attack. The congress storm in Brasilia, the protest in Sao Paulo, plus few incidents in other Brazilian cities has been declared too.
- The 1st info shown that 100 buses brought around 4.7k people on site for the congress storm. The preparation and the coordination event is probably worth a look
- Before reaching the congress, the cortege walk during 2h in the city. We need more videos to know exactly the road
they took
- Finally, we need data on how they prepare the event. How the word has been spread. Is there an announce of a declared protest in Sao Paulo today?
If you want to participate, if you have interesting data or thoughts, feel free to reach me here or by DM
