Me wife and I visited South America in February and saw first handed what happened when the criminals got involved in a peaceful protest about wages, retirement pay and increases in cost of living. The thugs destroyed the downtown areas of Valparaiso and Santiago. Stores and subways were burned and looted, all the beautiful monuments and buildings were spray painted. More than 35 were killed after the police finally got involved, The looters now set up blankets outside the closed stores and sell the merchandise they looted, Most of the stores are still closed 3 months later and all those people are without jobs. Just goes to show that the real reasons for the peaceful demonstrates were lost on a few thousand thugs who thrive on these opportunities to steal, loot and destroy property. A week or so after the original violent demonstrations in October or November, there was another demonstration in downtown Santiago with an estimated one million people. The thugs were not there and not one incident of violence was reported. Because of a few bad cops in the US, the rest of the force will have their hands tied, and the thugs will get away with the crimes. We are in deep dodo, but this is not new. Sorry for the people who are genuinely concerned about what happened in MN.
