http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...mbered-gold-miners-brazil-funai-a7940081.html reportedly they were massacred by brazilian goldminers, don't know how to edit the title.
Sounds odd to say, but at least we are in a day in age where people care about this, and they're going to prosecute the killers.
Latin America as a whole has a pretty poor record when it comes to prosecuting crime, especially murder. Hence a high murder rate. I doubt anything happens.Read half, it's a long article.

Cue Trump: "sounds like people were wrong on many sides. what i want to know is though, was any gold hurt?"
Originally from Brazil. I would not count on the miners being prosecuted. They claim self defense and the judicial system in that part of the country (actually the whole country) is corrupt. Anytime farmers or miners move into the interior of Brazil in the Amazon, this sort of thing happens. The innocent Indians don't understand how firearms and bullets work.

Yes, that gold could help speed up the death of the amazon rain forest and line some green in the pockets of some people with no real skill or contribution to the world besides extracting some metal from the ground.Anyone with the drive to trudge through the Amazon to mine gold is going to be viscious enough to kill people in their way. I don't see a problem here, that gold could help Brazil and those jungle rats mean nothing to anyone other than virtue signalers.
So, you're implying, without evidence, that the indigenous tribe picked the fight?
You're a bit of a shit, hey?
