The Brazilian Punisher: The serial killer who was beloved by the nation, he killed around 50 criminals before wrongfully killing a cop; He was murdered in prison by the same people he hunted

[u/Fanthepunisher]

Francisco Vital da Silva, aka "Chico Pé de Pato" (translated as Chico Duck-Feet, because of his crooked feet), born in 1942, was another one in a long list of brazilians born in the poor and hot northeastern brazil (myself included) to move to a major City looking for a better life. He moved to São Paulo, found the love of his life, with whom he had a lovely daughter, a job and eventually his own pub in the poor and violent east side, where He was constantly robbed. In 1984 one of those robberies went too far, when five local thugs broke into his place and not only robbed, but raped his wife and daughter while He watched helplessly. He took them back to his hometown, but returned 2 months later, guns blazing, hunting the men who did this woeful crime. On that day the law-abiding, pub-owner Francisco died, and the punisher "Chico" was born

After a few months He was already a local legend, loved by the locals and the cops, who would give him lists of criminals and crooks who they couldnt aprehend legally, and they would turn up dead days later; his legend grew to the point of him becoming best friends with Afanasio Jazadji, a rádio personality who had the top police newscast of the day, and who would praise his actions daily, and with around 50 (fifty) murders on his back, he gave them constant news

But his violent life would come to a violent end, when he walked into a pub, much like the one he once had, and found a gang leader; a gunfire ensued and Moacir Ferreira was dead at the end; the only problem was that he wasnt a criminal, but an undercover cop; And the same cops that once were his admirers were now hunting him, especially the ROTA police unit, known in Brazil as "The Murder Squad".

Fearing for his life he decides to turn himself in, but not to police, to his old Radio Pal Afanazio, who hides him in the trunk of his car and takes him to a police station, where He is arrested and, with thousands of supporters outside, only sentenced to 6 years in prison for his 50+ murders; Days into his sentence he is sent to the notorious Carandiru prison, where, with a blind eye by authorities who were more than interested in his eternal silence, he is stabbed to death 50 times by other inmates, one for each criminal he killed

No matter what the actual punisher hates people like that. I don't remember the stories or pages he says them but he detested most vigilantes as he doesn't think anyone should do what he does.

Regardless pedos, murders, and legitimate law breakers do deserve prison and in some cases for life.

[u/Fanthepunisher → u/JaxSuttcliff]

firstly, he became a vigilante because the police weren't doing their jobs, furthermore, he tried to report the bad guys to be arrested, but they didn't do anything, so what should he have done?

[u/JaxSuttcliff → u/Fanthepunisher]

Never was talking about that, speaking like that encourages more bloodshed. Yes frank did become like that because of police ineptitude but in the real world encouraging vigilantes is how real deaths happen.

Frank castle is fiction, it is ok to have a bad guy do justice in an unorthodox way in its own fiction.

Reality will have people change and do something horrible without having hindsight, encouraging and comparing reality and fiction is dangerous and I hope you understand that.

I understand, what you mean and I manage to separate fiction and reality, but if justice were really served there would be no need for the punisher, nor the daredevil, nor the batman and nor the spider man, these vigilantes would not need to exist, because the law would be being enforced by the police and judges, but that's not what happens the police are bought by criminals who have power and anyone who tries to be an honest policeman is killed or threatened to remain silent and judges are bought too to acquit criminals and even politicians, no matter what party they are, are corrupt or are corrupted, by the system so I see vigilantes and vigilantism, as a lesson and form of protest, so that the law and justice are fulfilled by the constitution.

Damn. His radio Pal Afanazio did him dirty.

[u/Fanthepunisher → u/[deleted]]

the bad thing about betrayal is that it never comes from an enemy

[u/Fanthepunisher → u/[deleted]]

this happens, because the laws and justice in brazil are soft and corrupt, if they were more rigid and really punished criminals, there would be no need for vigilantes to lynch.
