Chile protests: Unrest in Santiago over metro fare increase
A state of emergency has been declared in the Chilean capital, Santiago, after protests sparked by increased metro ticket prices turned violent.
Protesters - many of them high school and university students - jumped turnstiles, attacked several underground stations, started fires and blocked traffic, leaving widespread damage across the city and thousands of commuters without transport.
Television pictures showed protesters throwing stones, attacking police vehicles and burning at least one bus. Anti-riot police used tear gas and batons against some protesters, who have been demonstrating for days against the increase.

Protests everywhere....I thought Chile was off pretty good but.... so many protests happen when the price of gas, the price of bus tickets, the price of metro are raised, metro looks like high-speed trains, subways, something of that sort.
Even a high-rise building was set on fire, see picture at link.
Okay, a lot of this is just the people demonstrating, any outside influences? Marxists? Just thinking. These are pretty serious.
