Massive crowd?

At least this dude played soccer. Crowds in America did this over George Floyd. And he didn't do anything.

Pandemic fact

Why Wtf

😟

Shit happens

This is what Trump did to the American people!!!!!!! This is why he got voted out!!!!!!America does not do this!!!!!!!

Meanwhile in America

😳

Wow

WTF😂😂

The alt right bots are loose here! They come from Brazil, India, uae, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Ukraine, USA, and throughout South America! Steve bannon’s idiots!🤣😂😅😅😅😂

So wrong they just want to grieve

They attack the BLM, antifa, Maradona because he was a supporter of the people and not the crooks at the services of the multinationals and the elite crooks in the country! But, don’t worry because they are a few operating thousands of bots! Trolls nothing more!

What u see here in these comments are the bots of bolsonaro, trump, Steve Bannon and the alt right that have been set out in Argentina against the government of Fernandez! These are the fascists, Nazis upset that their corrupt party that robbed Argentina lost! Paid trolls!

That that as DC again!

How stupid for police to do that at a mass funeral!

El gobierno no importa el país son todos unos terroristas

E O DISTANCIAMENTO AI NÃO PRECISA PORQUE É VELÓRIO SENDO QUE PERDEMOS PESSOAS QUERIDAS E NEM PODEMOS VELAR! HIPÓCRITAS.

I'm from Argentina, but it seemed very ridiculous to do so much drama, I'm sorry for this person's death, but that's it, you don't need so much dramaaaa

It’s how Diego would have wanted it.

Police to protesters: Cry harder!!! 😂

Aren´t the Argentinians allowed to cry for the loss of such an idol they loved and understood? Aren´t they entitled to their pain?

Do they not have Covid in Argentina?

Initially assumed this took place in America, which is a horrible byproduct in the midst of an almost infinite number of horrible byproducts of trump. All of which—every single horrible bit of it—was enabled and supported by Republicans. Treat them accordingly.

Cops are abusive everywhere? So much for just a few bad apples 🍎

Tear gas and rubber bullets? Why? 😢

Putin’s Summer home?

Who knew the only thing they had left was vicariously living through others?

ABC You should be ashamed of your headlines and how misleading and untrustworthy you are as a news organization

unfortunately! .. this is the case in an atmosphere where poverty and ignorance caused by dirty people like politicians always need heroes. The Argentine people and other peoples will sooner or later realize this.

💔

Come on ABC, tell the whole story. Did police fire the tear gas after they broke into the national historic monument, Casa Rosada, or before? It matters. I'm genuinely asking and hoping that if it was after they broke in, you can DO BETTER with your headlines.

Sounds like DC A few weeks back.

To be fair, they weren’t wearing masks.

insallah hepiniz hidayete erirsiniz. hak ediyorsunuz bunu. latin amerika insanlar inanclidir

Because people were causing caos inside and outside the government palace, and throwing stuff at the police. It was because of that

This is how you pay respects to a national icon. With a Trump rally.

WTF?

This year 2020 na scam aSwear....lol

ACAB DIEGO VIVE

They were stealing, they broke into the Casa Rosada, they were breaking everything. Do not think that everyone is innocent.
