This is how Chilean sheep deal with lawlessness and disorder.
Concepcion Mayor Jacqueline van Rysselberghe had earlier said the situation there was getting “out of control” due to shortages of basic supplies and called for the national government to help.
“We need the army. We can’t have people defending their own possessions because it will be the law of the strongest,” she said.
Bachelet’s army directive includes a night curfew in Concepcion and several other areas.
To combat looting, Bachelet announced that essentials on the shelves of major supermarkets would be given away for free, under the supervision of authorities. Troops and police will also distribute food and water, she said.
Bachelet is Michelle Bachelet, the President of Chile.
“We can’t have people defending their own possessions”.
It may not be called her PSD, but dollars to donuts she has some police officers who just happen to be detailed to be on duty where she lives and works. That happens in medium US cities, you think that a larger South American city will not have the same thing happening?
Chileans, like most South Americans, cannot understand what living without oppresive governments is like. Many of them openly wish for the days of Pinochet.
I thought they all got their guns back - rusted and useless, but back. I thought the issue now was just paying for damages. Didn’t the NRA win the lawsuit?
