Stabbing of candidate shakes Brazil's presidential race
SARAH DiLORENZO and PETER PRENGAMAN Associated Press

SAO PAULO (AP) — The stabbing of a leading Brazilian presidential candidate jolted an already wildly unpredictable campaign to lead Latin America's largest nation, with doctors saying Friday that Jair Bolsonaro will be hospitalized for at least a week.

Supporters of the far-right congressman who wants to crack down on crime said the attack would only boost his chances in next month's election, but it was unclear when he would be able to return to campaigning in person.

A knife-wielding man whose motive was unknown stabbed Bolsonaro during a rally Thursday in Juiz de Fora, a city about 125 miles (200 kilometers) north of Rio de Janeiro, as he was being carried on the shoulders of a supporter.

What kind of third-world shithole does Brazil think it is?  California?

This "far-right" candidate is pretty close in beliefs to GW Bush.
But in comparison to leftist Brazil, I guess they think he's another Pinochet.
The stabbing can only help his campaign.

General Pinochet was perhaps the most admirable and effective leader of a South American country for the twentieth century.

He purged Chile of communists and gave that country a solid and stable future -- which is more than can be said for the rest of the continent...
