Man... I just love my country!

The funny thing is that the original article (here, in portuguese) never mentions that it's a light gun; in fact, they don't even report it was a fake weapon at all. All they say is that he was "(...)standing on the roof, branding a pistol". Damn journalists!

EDIT:Just showed the article to a friend, and his reply was priceless: "Well, the hostage lady DOES look like a videogame level boss..."
