Drug dealers and gangsters are dangerous people, but this gang boss is being considered a hero amongst his people.
His name is Thomas Vieira Gomez and in order to reach such a rank you have to put in a lot of work and crimes to earn the title. He is known as one of the most ruthless gangsters, but he cares for his people.
You don't have to agree with his lifestyle, but the man went to the extreme of kidnapping two male nurses to administer yellow fever vaccines to the people in Rio de Janeiro's Salgueiro favelas. One of the poorest areas in Brazil. He held them captive for a period of two hours.
The male nurses explained in an interview that they were not mistreated and were given full respect while in the custody of the gang.
Brazil's former Minister of Environment, Carlos Minc, said that that Gomez's act to immunize Brazilians was a "public service," and he was also being applauded by other public officials.
