A video that shows a man kicking a homeless person in São Paulo has stirred outrage among Brazilians on social media. The video was posted by Maicon Campos on Friday, October 7. “I was on a car when I look around [sic] and two guys start kicking a homeless person who didn’t do anything,” he wrote. “When I left the car to talk to them they walked away. Unbelievable!”

The original post earned more than 105,000 views by the time of writing, although one scraped copy had earned 1.8 million views and more than 50,000 shares. The second post compared the scene seen in São Paulo to Nazi Germany.
Campos said he told police officers about what he had seen, but they told him they couldn’t do anything. Credit: Facebook/Maicon Campos
