  1. >Marçal compared the chair attack to the July assassination attempt against former US President Donald Trump and the stabbing of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro during the 2018 election, posting an image of all three attacks on Instagram with the caption: “Why all this hate?”

    And a [vice article](https://www.vice.com/en/article/brazil-mayor-chair-throw/) with a tiny bit more context

  2. Some vital context:

    The guy that got hit (Pablo Marçal) accused the other guy (Datena) of being a sexual predator live on air. All based on false claims made by some women years ago that Datena SA’ed her, she them later admit the lie when they went to court over it.

    Imo Marçal deserved it.
