Há algo de banal no crime que completa um mês. Ele expressa, além da milícia, uma brutalidade típica do Brasil: a que descarregamos uns contra os outros, por incapazes de fazer, da nossa raiva, impulso para mudar uma sociedade hedionda

Por Gustavo Assano, em Outras Palavras

So quietly stole upon their prey
And dragged him out to death, so without flaw
Their black design, that they to whom the law
Gave him in keeping, in the broad bright day,
Were not aware when he was snatched away,
And when the people, with a shrinking awe,
The horror of that mangled body saw,
“By unknown hands!” was all that they could say.
Leslie Pinckney Hill (1921)
