The claim
Video shows Brazilian car riders killing motorcycle thugs by running them over with cars, as their government allowed such killings to control these robberies
Original review summary
The review says Brazil has no law permitting people to kill motorcycle thieves; it describes killing as lawful only in cases of legitimate self-defense. It also identifies the viral montage as clips of separate robbery incidents in Brazil, rather than evidence of government authorization. [S1][S1]
