More violent clashes in Chile as many line up for food

Protesters defied an emergency decree and confronted police in Chile's capital Monday, continuing violent clashes, arson and looting that have left at least 11 dead and led the president to say the country is"at war."

Only one of the city's six subway lines was operating because rioters had burned or damaged many of the stations, and officials said it could take weeks or months to fully restore service. After receiving criticism for his comments, he said Monday that he would meet with members of his administration and the opposition"to explore and hopefully advance toward a social agreement ... to a better solution for the problems that affect Chileans."

Now the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, Bachelet called for an investigation into all acts, by government or protesters," that have caused injuries and death." "I'm protesting for my daughter, for my wife, for my mother, not just for the 30 pesos of the Metro — for the low salaries, for the privileges of the political class, for their millionaire salaries," said Andres Abregu, an Uber driver who complained he is still paying a student debt and cannot provide a decent life for his family.

Otherwise peaceful Chilean protests are also often used as springboards for more violent action by smaller, hard-line factions that want to overturn the social system.

Violents are all peaceful, news do only show the stupid rioters who think they so defy authority while organized extremists are looting and then burning supermarkets and metro stations, the reasons the army were deployed to begin with by the way.

pepsi

If they had run the trailer three or four times instead of this godawful caterwauling, I'd have been OK with it.
