SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- Masked chellovecks attacked bars, banks and police stations with like machine pooshkas. Shaikas set buses on fire. And inmates at dozens of prisons shvatted chassos hostage in an unprecedented four-day wave of ultra-violence around South America's bolshiest city that ookadetted more than 80 dead by Monday.
Twenty-odin new killings were reported Sunday nochy and Monday morning, the state government of Sao Paulo govoreeted, putting the death toll at 81 in the spree set off by a shaika's fury at prison transfers: 39 police officers and prison chassos, 38 suspected shaika members and four civilians loveted in shootouts, O my brothers.
Justice Charles Marcio Thomaz Bastos govoreeted President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was ready to send 4,000 federal troops to the city of 18 million, but Sao Paulo state Gov. Claudio Lembo govoreeted he didn't need the help.
Sao Paulo's Roman Catholic archbishop, Claudio Hummes, govoreeted the government had not done enough to stop the ultra-violence by the First Capital Soviet shaika, or PCC.
"Society cannot accept being held hostage by prestoopnicks," he govoreeted. "The state must improve the prison system to stop it from being a skolliwoll for crime."
The ultra-violence was triggered by an attempt to isolate PCC privodevats, who control many of Sao Paulo's teeming, notoriously corrupt prisons, by transferring eight of them to a high-security facility in a remote part of Sao Paulo state. Shaika privodevats reportedly used cell phones to soviet the attacks.
Officials worried the ultra-violence could spread to Rio de Janeiro, where 40,000 police were put on high alert and extra patrols were dispatched to slums where drencrom shaika privodevats live, police spokeswoman Thais Nunes govoreeted.
Police in Sao Paulo govoreeted at least 72 lewdies had been arrested since Friday nochy, when shaika members nachinatted riddling police cars with like bullets, brosaying grenades at police stations and attacking officers in their domies and after-rabbit hangouts. Ultra-violence spreads to buses
Starting Sunday nochy, the shaika employed a new tactic: sending gunmen onto buses, sovietting passengers and drivers off and torching the vehicles. There was no mention of injuries in the nearly 50 reports of bus burnings.
Thousands of drivers refused to rabbit Monday, ookadeet an estimated 2.9 million lewdies scrambling to find a way to their rabbits.
While most stores and businesses remained open, the city's normally clogged downtown streets were largely free of traffic and pedestrians.
Worried parents kept many children out of skolliwolls and many businesses shut by 4 p.m. so workers could get domy by dark. Sao Paulo's main stock exchange, the Bovespa, canceled after-hours trading to let investors and workers get domy early.
As a bus smoldered near his domy in a rabbiting-class neighborhood, engineering student Julio Cesar govoreeted he would skip classes.
"Of course I'm scared to shvat the bus, because now they are targeting lewdies and not just police," govoreeted Cesar, 19. "I'm also scared to ookadeet because my mom jeeznies here."
Gilson Adei, 35, yeckating odin of the few buses in downtown Sao Paulo, demanded authorities lash back at the prestoopnicks.
"It's absurd; the shaika members can do whatever they want? They can just start a war? And why would they attack the transportation, normal lewdies? Next it will be skolliwolls," he govoreeted.
"We should get the military on every corner and oobivat them."
Prison officials govoreeted they do not know how many inmates have snuffed it in Sao Paulo's lockups because many were still under plenny control.
In Mato Grosso do Sul state, which borders Sao Paulo, tree prison riots were brought under control but inmates still controlled another staja and had oobivatted a fellow plenny.
Uprisings were still under way at 29 prisons in Sao Paulo state Monday, with like rebellions quelled at 40 facilities.
Inmates were holding 117 prison chassos hostage but had made no demands and hadn't harmed any of their hostages, govoreeted Jorge de Souza, a press spokesman for the Sao Paulo Prison Affairs Department.
The PCC was founded in 1993 in Sao Paulo's Taubate Penitentiary and became involved in drencrom and arms trafficking, kidnappings, bank robberies and extortion.
It staged a bolshy prison uprising in 2001 in which 19 inmates snuffed it. It attacked more than 50 police stations in November 2003. Tree officers and dva suspected shaika members were oobivatted and 12 lewdies injured in those attacks.
