And They Say American Football is Violent?

From Brazil: [bold added]

SAO PAULO (AP) — Police say enraged spectators invaded a football field, stoned the referee to death and quartered his body after he stabbed a player to death.....Local news media say the spectators also decapitated Silva and stuck his head on a stake in the middle of the field.

They probably don't have rules against "hitting above the shoulders" like they do here in the States.
