My great-grandparents fled from Poland just in time to avoid the horrors of the holocaust. Since it was 1876 and they were not Jewish, they were able to slip away undetected.
I survived the Holocaust by being born 20 years later. And in the US.
Of course, as for the upcoming American Taliban Republican Holocaust 2.0, who can say.
My great-grandparents avoided the purge of all german speaking folks in what is now Croatia after WW II by coming to America in 1900
That’s when my great-grandparents fled Poland/Russia, but they were Jewish. I’m not sure how detected they were, but their names were on the ship’s manifest.
Some folks did indeed flee to Brazil from Germany after WW2, but they’re probably not who George is thinking about here.

The company behind the Bored Ape crypto art craze is looking into reports that people have been suffering from eye burn, extreme pain and impaired vision after attending one of its events, which was lit by UV lights.
The ApeFest festival is held every year for members of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, AKA Bored Apes, who have invested in a collection of 10,000 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) featuring computer-generated profile pictures of cartoon apes…
Other reports suggest that one likely explanation is that, instead of UV-A sources (the relatively benign “black light” used to illuminate fluorescent posters and suchlike), they lit the event with UV-C sources (i.e. the borderline between ultraviolet and honest-to-goodness ionizing radiation, generally used to sterilize an area after getting everybody the hell out). 
I read about the Bored Ape parties in the book Number Go Up. A bunch of idiots trying to impress each other with their dumb-ass NFTs. That is a crowd full of DMFs.
(The author of said book bought one just so he could go to a party. His was about $40,000 and he was snubbed the whole night for not having one of the best ones.)

I figured the ugly-ass cheap-looking computer-generated monkey cartoons would be enough to hurt people’s vision already.
Huh! I thought it would cost more than $1,000 to have someone killed.
It’s the economy. Inflation. Too many killers chasing too few victims.
Maybe the price was kept low so that she’d actually pay and they’d be able to charge her.
Also, this is an old story, right? I’m nearly positive I’ve heard of rentahitman dot com a while back.
This must be what I’m thinking of.
Entrapment, indeed…oh, wait; worried about being sucked in, are you?

I don’t think that is entrapment. I think, and I’m no sort of law enforcement, that entrapment has to be a lot more proactive than a public website you go to by your own volition. IMHO
Also not a legal professional, but my understanding is that entrapment is a situation where a person would not have committed a crime without the intervention of law enforcement. If a person had originally not intended to commit a crime, but was persuaded to do so by someone in law enforcement who had proposed the idea in the first place, that would be entrapment.
Also, the web site in question is a parody site by a private citizen, not a law enforcement honeypot. It was created as a joke and the person who made it never expected anyone to take it seriously since the entire concept of a website that lets you solicit murder the way you’d order takeout from DoorDash is absurd. But when someone treats it seriously and he gets a request that seems legitimate, the guy who runs it will pass it on to law enforcement.
Wouldn’t that be deflation?
Probably. 
Nah, it’s $1000 to not have somebody killed. The FBI is going to want a lot more than a grand to actually whack somebody.
