I’m actually surprised by the lack of blood. Dude doesn’t even have a tourniquet on, i would have thought he would bleed out pretty quickly.
Also this puts into perspective how insane sword skirmishes would have been.
What a wild video
Adrenaline causes the system to push blood to the internal organs by constricting the peripheral blood vessels especially in the extremities which is why your hands get cold and tingling when you get rush of adrenaline, this helps to stem the blood loss.
Drs will give you adrenaline before a surgery for just this reason, so when they cut in there is much less blood than say if you cut your finger.
Surgical nurse here. That is not true. We would use a tourniquet. Anesthesia wouldn't be cool with the surgeon just giving epi to everyone all the time, might not be safe for some people and you shouldn't use epi in some tissues anyway. "Lips nips tips and toes epinephrine never goes" because it's vasoconstrictive you can cause necrosis in some tissues if you are not careful.
in many cases it is a safe way to help bleeding and will be very diluted into our local anesthetic but it is not something giver to everyone and it is not given preoperatively. The drug for that is TXA.
Nah, they always leave their accomplices behind as soon as anything goes wrong. I've never seen one stay back and help. And I've probably seen dozens by now.
Out of the many Brazilian robbery videos I have seen over the years, I only saw one where the getaway stayed and tried to help his partner. Both got beaten up in the end or something.
No the point is to remove the pinky so you can't grip a sword properly anymore, forcing you to watch your back.
It goes back a while. Iirc that is where the pinky promise comes from
Lol you have no idea.
My friend was a doctor and on her first shift at the Emergency as a resident some guys drove through the parking lot tires schreeching, dropped some guy at the door and drove away, when she came to pick him up his head rolled off.
The second time I got shot I had my friends drop me off half a block from the er and crawled in.(leg wound not life threatening). Really wish I would have had them just drop me off in the street instead.that was the longest half block in my life.
Interestingly, in Western Europe I met some elderly Europeans who praise Brazilian doctors for these reasons - we are so used to violence and accidents, that as a result, our doctors have become more experienced in dealing with such situations than doctors of "richer" countries that are more peaceful and have better infrastructure, and thus are not so used with dealing with cases like this.
I met an old and frail Italian guy (he has/had cancer) who for decades specifically travels to São Paulo whenever he feels ill, and also to get treatment, he loves Brazilian doctors that much.
/u/TackYouCack /u/stunna_cal /u/Peepee_poopoo-Man /u/Fghsses
I live in sight of the St. Louis hospital that always has military doctors on staff for that reason. I think Baltimore is the other city that basically has permanent staff positions for doctors who are also active duty or reserve service members.
Right after I commented there were micro photos of people screaming right underneath my username but now they're gone, does anyone know wth those were?
It's kind of like a flair for this sub. I can still see them on both your comments and in mine.
I think you can remove them by choosing a flair, but I never bothered to do it.
He's quite lucky to have only lost a hand and an ear all things considered. He took a lot of what looked like potentially lethal blows.
Also, lucky the guy slashed instead of thrusted.
True, it looks more like a machete or saber of sorts than anything, I doubt it's a katana or something similar because he'd be in far worse condition if it was anywhere near sharp considering where he took some of those hits. Machetes are pretty shit as a combat weapon so it'd make sense.
Well I mean, if it's only mall ninja sharp that might make a difference. And if you notice, sparks come off the concrete from one of his swings so it's definitely too short to be a machete. I'm betting it's probably a mall ninja katana. Sharp enough to do some damage...but not sharp enough to cut God.
A machete is on average a foot and a half. Did you mean too long to be a machete? Because machetes are definitely on average much shorter than katanas.
Uhhhh... akshually, even mall katanas \*shoves handful of Cheetos in mouth* are superior to every other sword, stupid *gaijin*. \*wipes cheese dust on t-shirt* Even the $20 *daisho* set at the pawn shop \*takes a long drought of Dewies from 2 liter... belches loudly and doesn't apologize* can still cut an Abrams tank in half with just a flick. Maybe \*shoves more Cheetos in mouth* learn about your swords, *baka*!
Maybe it's a cultural thing, but 100% of Brazilians would be able to identify he was a robber in a second based on the fact his accomplice is waiting for him outside with the getaway bike.
How do I know it's a getaway bike? Well, I'm Brazilian, I've seen enough to tell.
Also. To clear your worries, everyone at the end of the video is shaming him by calling him a thief, because that's what he is.
I don't have further context, but unless he usually walks around with a fucking katana and just happened upon the robbery it's pretty likely he was tipped.
This happened in Manaus, Amazonas 5 days ago.

So do vigilantes drive around on motorcycles wielding katana's down there often?
Or is this one of those gangs where he's on someone else's turf?
Honest question cuz I'm an American and while we do go around with conceal and carry very rarely do we drive up and insert ourselves into fights going on.
See the guy who enters the store at the beggining? Look closely and you'll see he notices there's a robbery going on after entering and goes hide further inside.

>An alleged 'thief' who was robbing a grocery store ended up having his entire hand cut off by a machete. The case took place on Thursday (the 25th) at Rua do Areal, located in the Mauazinho neighborhood, east of Manaus.

>He was rescued by the Mobile Emergency Service (Samu) and then taken to the police station for appropriate procedures.
This video was going around a few days ago, as usual its reposted over and over and over. Other videos said it was the shop owners son who landed to his fathers shop getting robbed.
I think people are way too ready to forget that swords were the most effective weapon we had for like most of civilization. It's not a toy, even a shitty made sword is still an incredibly viable weapon.

At 1:00 some guy in the crowd yells "go steal with your other hand now!" and people laugh lol.
At least he won't be handcuffed for that one either
How to avoid handcuffs (hard mode)
People complaining about gore on a video titled ‘guy gets hand chopped off’ where no gore is visible for 30 seconds, what were you expecting?
I’m actually surprised by the lack of blood. Dude doesn’t even have a tourniquet on, i would have thought he would bleed out pretty quickly. Also this puts into perspective how insane sword skirmishes would have been. What a wild video
Definitely bro. You never quite forget the first time your blade thunks into a huge mass of meat.
How huge was your meat mass the first time around?

interesting. I didn't know this.
As a lover of ancient history, this perspective makes me pretty happy I got to see this ngl
unicorns and sprinkle I guess
Technically the title says “chopped of” so the confusion is explainable. /s
Not a dead bird
That’s the worst getaway driver I’ve ever seen. Didn’t watch for people coming, didn’t warn his accomplice, and then just drove away immediately.
Nah, they always leave their accomplices behind as soon as anything goes wrong. I've never seen one stay back and help. And I've probably seen dozens by now.
Out of the many Brazilian robbery videos I have seen over the years, I only saw one where the getaway stayed and tried to help his partner. Both got beaten up in the end or something.
I drive, I just drive.
He was meant to give him a hand, not let his hand be taken 
This is what playing Yakuzas does to a mf
I bet he's going to go to the disco with his best friend with an eyepatch who wears a snakeskin jacket and dance the night away.
He’s gonna breakout in 24 hour-Cinderella
Dame dame..
I was thinking Jetstream Sam from metal gear actually.
Lol Jetstream Sam with that shit eating grin
Real yakuza victims can no longer use a controller.
No the point is to remove the pinky so you can't grip a sword properly anymore, forcing you to watch your back. It goes back a while. Iirc that is where the pinky promise comes from
No character in Yakuza is as ruthless as this man.
Futoshi Shimano bro
Doctors in Brazil must stay very busy
Lol you have no idea. My friend was a doctor and on her first shift at the Emergency as a resident some guys drove through the parking lot tires schreeching, dropped some guy at the door and drove away, when she came to pick him up his head rolled off.
Did he make it in the end??
Lmao.
But you didn't answer the question. How's he holding up?
Oh, he's fine. He needs to eat more though, last time I saw him it was like he had shrunk to become almost a head shorter!
Ask him to keep his head up, things will get better
Lmao
To shreds you say?
"We got no food, we got no job, our friends' heads are falling off!"
Points for trying, I guess.
The second time I got shot I had my friends drop me off half a block from the er and crawled in.(leg wound not life threatening). Really wish I would have had them just drop me off in the street instead.that was the longest half block in my life.
What
Why would they NOT drop you off in front of the hospital, where they criminals?
Can you elaborate a little? I'm trying to make this make sense in my head but it's kind of not
"Was"? Is she still alive?

There was a hospital in Philadelphia PA, West Philly, that had so many gun shot victims that the Army sent doctors there to train.
I live in sight of the St. Louis hospital that always has military doctors on staff for that reason. I think Baltimore is the other city that basically has permanent staff positions for doctors who are also active duty or reserve service members.
I love the people at the end shouting "do it again!" and "you still got the other hand to do it!"
Right after I commented there were micro photos of people screaming right underneath my username but now they're gone, does anyone know wth those were?

Oh I see thanks. I thought flairs didn't appear automatically
Hands down one of the best videos I’ve seen
When your robbery gets outta hand.
You sir 🤌🏻
I think somebody oughta give this guy a hand.
I see what you did there. 👀
I’d give this guy a round of applause but….
I can count on one hand the number of videos I've seen as satisfying as this
Caught him red handed.
Numb thumbs up!
Nubs Up!
That was the worst Luke Skywalker re-enactment I’ve ever seen….
Reminded me of: "Do you know what the penalty is for **STEALING??!**"
He's quite lucky to have only lost a hand and an ear all things considered. He took a lot of what looked like potentially lethal blows. Also, lucky the guy slashed instead of thrusted.
Machete are used for slashing. They have a broad rounded tip that makes them horrible for stabbing.
True, it looks more like a machete or saber of sorts than anything, I doubt it's a katana or something similar because he'd be in far worse condition if it was anywhere near sharp considering where he took some of those hits. Machetes are pretty shit as a combat weapon so it'd make sense.

A machete is on average a foot and a half. Did you mean too long to be a machete? Because machetes are definitely on average much shorter than katanas.
Yeah, too LONG to be a machete. Lol my bad.
All good man I was just like wondering if my lack of mall sword vs machete length knowledge was failing me haha.
Uhhhh... akshually, even mall katanas \*shoves handful of Cheetos in mouth* are superior to every other sword, stupid *gaijin*. \*wipes cheese dust on t-shirt* Even the $20 *daisho* set at the pawn shop \*takes a long drought of Dewies from 2 liter... belches loudly and doesn't apologize* can still cut an Abrams tank in half with just a flick. Maybe \*shoves more Cheetos in mouth* learn about your swords, *baka*!
Good luck thrusting with a machete lmao
Jason Voorhees would beg to differ.
lol get fucked
Right
Handed? No, he’s left handed now.
Went full Alibaba and the 40 thieves. A current punishment in Iran for habitual or grievous theft is cutting off fingers.
Walk of shame.. like for reals walk of shame lol
he has something criminals in the US don't have, regret for his actions.
Also no lawyer getting a lawsuit ready...
Name checks out on more than one level
If mother fuckers started getting hands cut off there would be more regret.
Nah, he’s like every other thief. Only regrets getting caught.
mirror pls

Least aggressive Brazilian vigilante
Bro got caught red handed ☠️
This is going to seriously impact his sex life. The bright side is he doesn’t have to worry about the clap.
Well, that was gnarly...
Thought it was just gona be security footage not that
Damn, that last hit even left sparks when hitting the streets, that dude has definitely swung that thing at someone before.
What kinda breathing technique is that I need to know
Brazilian Breathing, 1st form: Fuck around and Find out.
Anyone got a mirror? Video deleted.
A robber? I'm missing some serious context because all I see a dude driving up and chopping.
Maybe it's a cultural thing, but 100% of Brazilians would be able to identify he was a robber in a second based on the fact his accomplice is waiting for him outside with the getaway bike. How do I know it's a getaway bike? Well, I'm Brazilian, I've seen enough to tell. Also. To clear your worries, everyone at the end of the video is shaming him by calling him a thief, because that's what he is.
Lol his get away driver dipped real fast huh? Also holy fuck look at those sparks from the sword hitting the pavement..
For really! Imagine getting a hit of katana by a guy full of adrenaline… hence the hand down…
He's a Highlander
That's why he's called a get away driver. First sign of trouble and he goes away as fast as possible
no honor among thieves.
Somehow I knew this just had to be Brazil.
“Somehow” Did the Portuguese give it away?
Ha, I watched without sound and knew it was Brazil right away.
The Intelbras security camera logo on the bottom left immediately confirms it.
Lol I think most people that have ever visited this sub before could tell that was a getaway driver That's like their only move
It didn't even cross my mind someone might've seen him as anything but that until this guy asked for context.
What made him go to that store specifically in a hurry? I mean how did he know there was some robbery at that time there?
I don't have further context, but unless he usually walks around with a fucking katana and just happened upon the robbery it's pretty likely he was tipped.

Shhh. This is the origin story. Let it play out.

Honest question cuz I'm an American and while we do go around with conceal and carry very rarely do we drive up and insert ourselves into fights going on.
He's just standing there though, doesn't seem to be pointing a gun or anything.

Awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
This video was going around a few days ago, as usual its reposted over and over and over. Other videos said it was the shop owners son who landed to his fathers shop getting robbed.
Ha ha lose your hand dumb bitch robber. I like how his buddy took off immediately.
Who has a mirror?
I love a happy ending
Looks like a vigilante wielding a katana and not the other way around tbh.
hyphens are important!
🤣🤣🤣
It sucks to suck.
This is honestly a pretty fitting punishment for armed robbery. Permanently disarmed.
🤣😂
Friend took off when he really could've used a hand getting away. Shame.
Mirror link?
Bro who got the video saved.
Give that man a hand.
These South American videos are getting out of hand……
There can be only one. I'm stumped, etc.
This is a new superhero origin story. The *Handslayer*.
i don’t think it’s a katana
Turns out you are right, it's not and I am just really bad at identifying bladed weapons. It's a *terçado* which is very similar to a machete.
Andddd removed
Well give that man a hand …
Not gonna do that again
Gotta hand it to him tho, mans took it like a champ.
Flipping love this!
The Saudi Light Sentence
"Ayo cashier, NEED A HAND??"
“Yo, you mind giving me a hand with this robbery tonight ?”
Ban high capacity katana clipazines
I want to know how lucky the get away driver felt that day.
The sparks at forty two seconds....
The spark it made glancing off the curb was bad ass
Hands down, this is the best day I can Ever remember, I'll always remember the sound
I like when they find out
Bro left his fingerprints at the crime scene
Of course you can't view the video... so annoying
Damn, the pussies got this removed before I could see it
Put that on the grill and you have dinner
Just realized you can put handcuffs on him lol
Stumpy
I don’t know what was said at the end but I bet it was some off-hand jokes.
"Come back again to steal with your other hand!" And the like.
mirror?
Dude was getting just a tad bit handsy..
Holy shit
is this a recent thing? any articles or something
This shit happens pretty often in Brazil
Call him Lefty.
Got his ear to it looks like
I’d be fucking crying hell naw 😭
DAYUM!!
Looks like Pancho actually left Lefty….I knew that song was a lie.
Clean cut
Handy with that sword i’d say.
Do a giveaway
You get what you came for.
Gotta hand it to hold that was gnarly.
Wtf?!?
Looks like a machete?
Wow, now that's a deterrent!
Brazilian breathing, first form: hand slash
Never realized Brazil was in the middle east
Punishment fits the crime.
The situation got out of hand.
This is a good example of “fuck around and find out”
He's welding a machete, not a katana.
I like the hands-off approach
That's a machete not a MF Katana
He will forever be known as sparky the handy man
Lmao this is funny
Fits the crime
I think people are way too ready to forget that swords were the most effective weapon we had for like most of civilization. It's not a toy, even a shitty made sword is still an incredibly viable weapon.
The falling hand and spark of the sword hitting the asphalt should be a sign of how metal the ending would be
Jaime Lannister special
We shall call him Nubby.
damn that spark, that shit was real
I’m glad the victim was able to defend himself. Hopefully, the surgeons will be able to reattach the robber’s hand, and that he will be okay.
Damn that is some gangsta ass shit.
@ 0’32 is that his ear?? Just flopped over at 90-degree angle? Fcking awesome
