On September 26, 2022, 14-year-old, Isaac Silva Chagas, enntered the Municipal College Eurides SantAnna, in Barreiras, armed with a machete and a .38-caliber revolver. The perpetrator killed a wheelchair-bound student, Geane da Silva Brito, 19, who was unable to escape. The student took advantage of the difficulty in moving to fatally hit her. Chagas shot Brito with the revolver and then hit her with the machete. The attack ended when a police officer entered the school and shot the suspect, shooting him four times, leaving him in serious condition.

(Isaac Silva Chagas)

It was so well thought out that many of these perpetrators (including Isaac) took inspiration from the case of Guilherme Taucci Monteiro, for some reason their peculiar skull mask characterizes them but they have done nothing but be judged for "copy and paste".

Among many other shooters, most of them minors, whose inspiration was the Columbine case and the ideologies they "shared" with Dylan and Eric. A great brutal case, cause Brazil is almost full of teenagers with n3oN4zi ideologies, I'm not saying that this is a fact.

(Guilherme Taucci Monteiro was a Brazilian who, together with his friend, "Luiz Henrique de Castro", killed five students and two school staff members at the "Professor Raul Brasil State School" in the Brazilian municipality of Suzano, São Paulo State. After the shooting, Taucci killed Luiz and then he committed suicide), how Isaac Chagas tried to replicate.

After the attack, Chagas was admitted to a hospital and would become quadriplegic due to the wounds caused by the bullets fired by the police.

(I will leave another compilation of perpetrators using the famous skull mask).

About Guilherme

Guilherme Taucci Monteiro was born on 07/05/2001 in the city of Mogi das Cruzes, in the interior of São Paulo.

He moved to Suzano at a very young age to live with his grandparents in the Jardim Imperador neighborhood.

He came from a humble family. At the age of 6 months, he began to be raised by his maternal grandparents, Benedito Luiz Cardoso and Arlete Taucci, because his parents, Tatiana Taucci and Rogério Machado Monteiro, were drug addicts. His mother already had a son before him, Victor, who was raised by his father's family. Years later, she gave birth to two girls, who lived with Taucci and his grandparents. In 2015, she had Vitória, who lives with her father.

He was a quiet boy until his teenage years. In 2017, he dropped out of his second year of high school at Raul Brasil, claiming he had no friends. Some people remember that he was not bullied, while others claim that he was teased because of the acne on his face and back – one of his biggest insecurities. Benedito even paid for him to get acne treatment. “He studied until his second year of high school, last year. Then he dropped out of school. He complained that people were making fun of the pimples on his face and back. They gave him embarrassing nicknames. I even paid for his [acne] treatment,” he recalled. He worked with his maternal uncle, Jorge Antonio Moraes, but was fired in 2017.

Antonio was not the only family member with whom Taucci had disagreements. Benedito stated that Guilherme had never drunk or used drugs, at least not in front of him, and used to say that he “wanted to burn all drug users”, referring to his parents. Taucci and his mother didn’t get along and rarely saw each other. His grandfather, relatives and people who knew Taucci all had good things to say about him and said it was impossible to imagine he would do something like that. His grandfather said, “He was a good boy, he didn’t have any drug problems and he never gave me any trouble.” Loving, obedient, passionate about games, polite, careful with his sisters – a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old girl – quiet and shy, these are adjectives he likes to describe his grandson. “If someone told me that, I would say it was a lie. He was always very polite, very reserved and very respectful. He was very fond of his grandfather. I can’t understand what could have caused such an outburst,” says his aunt Karina Morais. “They were normal boys (Luiz and Taucci). They said good morning, good afternoon, good night. They didn’t do drugs,” says driver Cássio Nogueira, 39, a neighbor who saw them grow up. “He always liked Nazism, gothic clothes and that emo fringe. The boys have fun with these things, it wasn't just him. My poor son,” says his mother. Benedito claims that Taucci had plans for his life.

Months after the massacre, he would turn 18 and Luiz Henrique de Castro's father had promised Taucci a job in the same position as his friend, cleaning and preserving squares in São Paulo. According to Benedito, he would earn R$1,400 per month and would receive food vouchers. He told his grandfather that he would give him the voucher to help with household expenses, since Benedito has a minimum retirement income. He also said that Taucci used to accept short-term jobs to buy games or other items online. The last job he supposedly got was at a hot dog stand, earning R$600.00.

Taucci’s grandmother passed away in December 2018. Benedito recalls that Guilherme seemed indifferent at first, but when asked if he wasn’t suffering the loss, he replied: “Grandpa, I felt it on the way.” On the morning of the attack, Guilherme left a burned photo on the floor of his room, which his mother recognized as being of him with the teenager’s father. Benedito also talks about his grandson’s behavior the day before the massacre, “Yesterday, when he came home from the street at night, I heated up dinner for him. Everything was fine,” Guilherme ate rice, beans and a hamburger. “He loved hamburgers.”

We can’t pinpoint the exact reasons for him carrying out a school shooting, since Benedito always gave him what he wanted: his computer, TV, internet and, as he has said several times, he seemed “fine” with his life. No one would ever know what they planned to do.

UN MALEDETTO SELVAGGIO

Una storia che non conoscevo. Di fronte alle più alte cariche dello Stato cubano, oggi sono state tumulate presso l’altare dei rivoluzionari di L’Avana, le ceneri di Gino Donè, "El Italiano", come lo chiamavano i suoi compagni. Donè era nato in provincia di Treviso e aveva combattuto come partigiano nella Brigata Piave, ricevendo anche un encomio dal Gen. Alexander per aver salvato un gruppo di ufficiali inglesi nella laguna veneziana. Dopo la guerra cercò fortuna in Francia, Belgio, Germania, fino all'arrivo a Cuba. "Facevo il carpentiere - raccontò nel 2006 - ma avevo il sangue che mi bolliva, dentro ero ancora un maledetto partigiano.” In quel periodo, Fidel Castro era esiliato in Messico e stava arruolando giovani per liberare Cuba dalla dittatura di Batista. Venne a sapere di un italiano che aveva combattuto i fascisti e lo volle con sé come tenente del 3° plotone. Fu Gino a insegnare le tecniche della guerriglia a Che Guevara e assieme a lui, Fidel e Raul Castro, era tra gli 82 che, a bordo dell’imbarcazione Granma, sbarcarono ai piedi della Sierra Maestra. Con Aleida March, futura moglie del Che, organizzò, senza metterlo in atto, un piano per assaltare la sede del comando militare di Santa Clara. Ricercato dalla polizia, i compagni lo convinsero a rifugiarsi negli USA, dove si guadagnò da vivere come marinaio per 3 anni, prima di tornare in Italia. Al suo funerale parteciparono centinaia di persone, tra le quali i funzionari dell’ambasciata cubana con 4 corone di rose inviate in Italia da Fidel. "Mi hanno chiesto se fossi anarchico, comunista, rivoluzionario - raccontò l''unico europeo ad aver partecipato alla rivoluzione cubana - io sono soltanto un maledetto selvaggio. Però osservo il mondo e vedo che c'è sempre qualcuno più povero di me. E oggi, chi dà una mano ai proletari? Forse ci vorrebbero ancora uomini che decidono di essere fratelli."

Reactions to Marco Rubio’s Nomination for U.S. Secretary of State 

On November 13, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Marco Rubio, the Cuban-American U.S. Senator from Florida, as U.S. Secretary of State.

Your turn! Share 10 facts about one of your OCs? :)

Thanks so much for this!! I decided to go with Amara Castro, one of my new Big Time Rush OCs, and thus I’m also tagging the BTR moots @partiallypearl, @dancingsunflowers-ocs, @bibaybe, and @manyfandomocs!! <3

She lives with her older siblings, Teo and Veronica, who are twins. The twins are also the only reason she can live at the Palm Woods in the first place, since she’s never had any of her writing published - they’re actors who have both had minor roles in a handful of shoes and movies.

She and her siblings also do not have a good relationship with their parents, which is why Veronica and Teo are Amara’s guardians. I won’t get into the exact reasons why, but the relationship is… pretty bad.

Her biggest writing influences are Agatha Christie, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Terry Pratchett, which is in part where she got the inspiration for the fantasy mystery novel she’s working on.

She likes to listen to music while she’s writing, usually the instrumental soundtracks of fantasy media like The Hobbit and Game of Thrones.

She really likes hard candies and caramels, which Carlos likes to tease her about being an old lady for.

She has read Little Women a grand total of ten times, and still tears up when Beth dies every time.

Her first celebrity crush was on Raul Julia as Gomez in the 90’s Addams Family movies.

She is, maybe predictably for a mystery writer, very into true crime shows and podcasts, as well as stories about urban myths and legends. She hopes to start her own someday, after she has some success as a writer.

She was never the biggest fan of pop music before meeting the boys, but they manage to turn her on to not only their music but that of many other pop artists.

She is terrified of grasshoppers. Don’t ask her why, she just finds them freaky.

Did You Know🤔

The Suzano massacre, also known as the Suzano school massacre, was a school shooting and a failed bombing, that took place on March 13, 2019, at the Professor Raul Brasil State School in the Brazilian municipality of Suzano, São Paulo State, The perpetrators, 17-year-old Guilherme Taucci Monteiro and 25-year-old Luiz Henrique de Castro, murdered five students and two school staff members, Before the attack in a car shop near the school, the pair also killed Monteiro's uncle. After killing most of their victims in the school, Monteiro killed his partner and then committed suicide. Eleven additional people were injured by gunshots, and gunfire was also exchanged with the police. Some were injured while trying to escape. The attack was the second major and second deadliest school shooting in Brazil, after the Realengo massacre in 2011. It is also the ninth fatal school shooting in Brazilian history. The shooting has inspired many copycat killings in and outside of Brazil.

Earlier in the day, at around 9 a.m. local time, the gunmen shot three times and killed Monteiro's uncle, the shopkeeper Jorge Antônio Moraes, in a nearby car shop. The man was taken to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries, dying hours later. According to the investigation, Castro was planning on killing a neighbor of his that was an electrician because they had had a misunderstanding months before. They had a pact, in which each one would kill someone before the school massacre. An hour and half before the school attack, Castro went to his neighbor's house. Finding the gate closed, he persistently called him out, but the man did not answer, and so Luiz went away. In the same day, one of the killers posted a series of photos in a social media platform, where he appeared with a skull mask, holding the firearm he would later use and doing a gun sign with his hand against his head. The two attackers then drove to the school in a white Chevrolet Onix that Castro had legally rented at Localiza. The crime occurred at around 9:40 a.m. local time on a Wednesday, March 13, 2019, in the Professor Rual Brasil State School, in Suzano, Greater São Paulo. Guilherme Taucci Monteiro, 17 years old, and Luiz Henrique de Castro, 25 years old, entered the building hooded, with combat boots and balaclavas with skulls. Monteiro entered the building first. He then turned around and began shooting at two school staff members as well as several students at a distance of approximately 3 feet (0.91 m) in front of him, before entering the main patio in search of more potential victims. He disappeared from camera and then moved on to the institution's linguistics center. By this time, Castro appeared on camera entering the building in a hurry while holding several weapons, including a bow which he eventually left on the floor. He approached the corpses lying on the ground and struck them with a hatchet. Fleeing students started to run from the patio towards the school entrance hall. On the way, they encountered Castro, who was still in the entrance hall. Other students who had hidden themselves when they first heard gunshots were able to avoid being shot. Five students between 15 and 17 years old and two school staff members were killed. According to the 2017 School Census, the institution had 358 students between 6th and 9th grade (middle school and freshman year) and 693 students in secondary school. The school was locked down by police, who searched it and found a caliber 38 revolver, speedloaders, a crossbow, a traditional bow and arrow, possible Molotov cocktails, a hatchet and a wired bag. A bomb squad was dispatched to the scene and found that it was a fake explosive.
