Oh, To Be In Rio

There are so many carjackings and murders in Rio that the city's legislature has officially voted to stop enforcing speed limits, at least in places where they're low (like 25mph low). Additionally, there's been a proposal to surround highways with really tall walls (or to put walls around slums-- it all depends on your perspective) in the hopes of keeping drivers from being killed by stray bullets. I'm not making this up.

How did Rio get this reputation as the world's partyville again? Because unless by "party" you mean "die," I'm just not feeling it.
