It is very important that the authorities refrained from shooting, beating, or brutalizing anyone. Also, that none of the rioters carried firearms, although Bolsonaro had made that easier. The government must press charges, but do it in an orderly, transparent, and completely legal way. Lula stayed in Brazil when he was unjustly convicted. He went to jail. Bolsonaro fled Brazil before he was even charged.  He has called for the rioters to stand down. Given that all this does not change, I don't think this violence will spread. If he handles the situation right, it could even strengthen Lula. He's going to need it. Oh God, if I could just explain it here, and prove it! The governance of Brazil is riddled with corruption, from the cop in the street up to the highest echelons of government. It's a way of life; people live with it. A truce between the laws on the books and customary practices. Lula can't change that overnight. So, in order to survive, he will have to live with it. This leaves him open to the charge of corruption himself.Also, he's made more promises than he could possibly keep. Finances are in bad order. The fracas that took place yesterday could frighten foreign investors.
