>Very extreme but that is what politics breeds. We also have a problem in San Francisco, where demonstrators block streets, people getting to and from work and cause problems with the Bay Bridge and Freeways. Several hundred false emergency phone calls were received within a few hours as just one example. If you had a medical emergency in the downtown area you would not have gotten assistance.
That sort of things happen in the U.S. too???
Unfortunately, this is a very common sight in Bolivia.
For instance, in riots in February, ca. 20 people died - mainly policemen (there were fights between police and army). Lootings were part of the situation, too.
In several other cases, people have been killed in riots.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
