Riot!

(I'm safe, and not in jail)
So today there was a riot in most of Santiago central, that had something to do with labor rights. I asked people, and it was sort of an eclectic mix of leftists, right-wingers, communists, and fascists. Either way, it was people that were unhappy with... something... enough to break a lot of things and get the riot police called out. As on 2 PM, 60 people had been arrested. And it's still going on. Classes were canceled at the University, and so on my way home I definitely took a couple of pictures. (Don't worry, Mom, I was far away from everything) Either way, it was a pretty exciting day.
