Sandro Rosa- BUS 174
On June 12, 2000, Nascimento boarded a bus (174) . He wanted to rob the passengers on the bus. Shortly after Nascimento revealed what he was going to do , a passenger screamed to a police vehicle outside the bus, prompting the police to intercept the bus. Nascimento took the passengers of the bus hostage. Just as he got of the bus the police shot him from point blank range but it missed him and it hit the hostage as this happened Nascimento in the shock pulled the trigger by mistake killing the hostage(the teacher).
Sandro Rosa got on to the bus with an intention to rob the passengers with his gun, this robbery would have given him money for necessities like drugs and luxury. (he was a drug addict). Even though Sandro wasn’t always a bad person, many incidents that occurred in his life molded him into the person he became.
Sandro Rosa had a very brutal past. When he was only six he witnessed his mother get stabbed brutally in front of him and also when he lived in the church there was another murder of his friends(8 people in total).All of this events had made him have a bad influence on people about how they are.
All these events together may have spoilt Nascimento's mind and built up hatred in his heart the people of Brazil especially the policemen and the richer people who have created the inequality between the people in brazil. which then prompted him to take such fierce actions, Despite all this, I think that Nascimento is not to balme as all he wanted was to get attention and he had no intentions of killing anyone on that bus,it was the policeman who shot the lady first(the teacher)
I am very sure that if the incidents above had not taken place in his life he would not have taken such a dramatic decision to rob people on the bus and also school teacher would not have been killed. Also if his mom and friends were alive he would be more organised and also more mature.
