Destruction

santiago strikes
A smoke bomb is set off in front of U. de Chile on Alameda.

Both the day and the strike are coming to an end…the streets will once again be much safer and daily life will prevail…my eyes will sting less…

Yes, after work, curiosity was killing me, dying to get out there and see it all for myself. Unfortunately, I got tear gassed very early on and my eyes were too blurred to get any good shots, and I realized that I should probably just heed all warnings and go back to my safe little cold apartment. It just didn’t feel like a day to risk my safety. So I didn’t get anything grand, but here’s just a taste, a tiny taste, of what was going on in Santiago.

 

When life hands you a lemon...many people were selling lemons as it helps clear your throat after being gassed. If you rub it under your eyes, it's also supposed to help with your vision. Some man was nice enough to give me half of his!
Protestors and bystanders begin running (as well as myself, hence the blurry photo) after the Carabineros release a tear-gass bomb.

Aside from gas, they also shoot tons of water out of tanks toward protestors in hope of clearing them out.

Carabineros
And then these poor guys, Carabineros, Chile's police force, have to deal with it all, getting rocks pelted at them and worse.
