A type of execution used by favela (slum) gangs in Rio de Janeiro where old tired are stacked up around a person until only his head is sticking out. Gasoline is then poured in up to his ankles and the whole thing is ignited from the inside. The tire rubber fuels an incredibly hot fire that sends thick plumes of black smoke into the air. A mound of melted rubber is left over that serves as a warning to others.
