“If you don’t wash your hands, chop them off.” What is this rule among Brazilian gangs?

"Cut your hands off if you don't wash your hands?" This sentence was thought up by the Brazilian gang as a "protest slogan", in order to make everyone pay attention to the new crown epidemic and pay attention to cleaning their hands. Since March 20, Brazilian states have also begun anti-epidemic measures. However, according to news reports, while states are going all out to fight the epidemic, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has begun a series of very confusing behaviors. For example, they went to a rally before the quarantine period ended, and then called on the public to return to work as soon as possible, calling the new coronavirus a "little flu". Seeing that the Brazilian management has turned into a group of "clowns", the Brazilian gangs began to become uneasy.

On March 24, one of the Brazilian gangs, the Red Command, issued a curfew. This curfew order is full of the "dominance" of gangsters. It probably means: a curfew will be implemented from 8 o'clock tonight. If you see anyone still wandering on the street, you will be rude! However, the notices issued by the gang to the slums this time were extremely mild and used the most sincere language. For example: We take the risk to stand on the street so that you and your family can sleep peacefully. We left our families to protect you in the hope that you would obey orders. In addition to this notice, the slums are also plastered with the anti-epidemic slogan "If you don't wash your hands, cut off your hands" and audio recordings recorded by the gang boss himself.

It can be seen that this trick of the Brazilian gang is indeed very effective. At night, the streets are deserted. Until now, they have made good progress in fighting the epidemic. The Brazilian gang's anti-epidemic attitude is completely different from that of the Brazilian president. The residents of the slums are unexpectedly very supportive of the gang's approach this time.

However, it is worth mentioning that gangs are gangs and crime is crime. The gangsters are sparing no effort to help the people in these slums fight the epidemic, but they are actually doing it for themselves. Because they cannot do without the "help" of these poor people from drug manufacturing to drug trafficking, from occupying territory to collecting protection fees. To put it bluntly, it is to do things for them. If an epidemic breaks out in the slums, it will bring huge losses to the gangs.
