Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's presidential front-runner, stabbed at rally

Footage of the incident shows Mr Bolsonaro making a thumbs-up gesture and being held aloft by supporters when he appears to be stabbed with a knife.

He then doubles over with pain and his supporters quickly lower him to the ground and bundle him into a car.

After the attack, his son Flavio initially tweeted that the wound was "only superficial", but he gave a more sombre assessment two hours later.

"Unfortunately it was more serious than we had expected," he wrote. "The perforation reached part of the liver, the lung and the intestines. He lost a lot of blood, arrived at the hospital with a (blood) pressure of 10/3, almost dead. His condition now seems stabilised. Pray, please!"

Police say a suspect has been arrested. He was named as Adelio Obispo de Oliveira.

The rape comments are vile. He's a disgusting scumbag.

Kinda ironic that someone who advocates violence towards others, is now the victim of violence.

It is awkward to hear men discuss when a woman is good looking enough to be raped and when she isn't. Are these real discussions these guys are having? Does it go:

Mike: Hey Jim, is Jessica good looking enough to rape?
Jim: Nah man.
Mike: What about Veronica?
Jim: Yah, man.​

I'm not about to entertain their foolishness. This guy actively relates rape to looks.

****ing sicko.

It was in response to a female politician discussing a rape law. Bolsonaro made the point that she had nothing to worry about. Put it in the right context.
