They voted for it, just like people here are voting for the same thing to happen. People actually do get what they deserve. Sorry.
Over 100 killed, but I wonder how many Los desaparecidos (The Disappeared) there are? Enemies of The State have a tendency to vanish in the night.
They finally ran out of other peoples money.
Same will happen here.
