A Bolivian mayor was dragged through the streets, covered in red paint and had her hair cut by an angry mob Wednesday, as weeks of violent political unrest continued to plague the South American nation.

Patricia Arce, mayor of Vinto, a city of 60,000 in central Bolivia, was hauled out of the local government building and pummeled by masked people carrying sticks and hurling stones, the news network Telemundo reported Thursday.

The crowd accused Arce of busing in supporters of incumbent President Evo Morales to break up an anti-government demonstration, during which two protesters were rumored to have been killed, according to the BBC.

Shouting, “murderer, murderer,” the mob pushed the mud-covered pol to the ground and forcibly cut her hair before she was rescued by police and taken to a local hospital, the network said.

“If they want to kill me, let them kill me,” a defiant Arce, a member of the ruling Movement to Socialism party, told reporters after the attack. “I’m not afraid. I’m in a free country.”

“Where America is heading. I give it 30 years and this will be happening in the USA.”

30 years? I give it another 4-5 ,maybe even 2020. Liberals are almost doing acts like this to conservatives now-restaurant and airport attacks etc.

Yeah, Socialism and free don't go together.

[antidemoncrat]

If the Democrats and their military arm, Antifa, have their way that might start after the 2020 election if Trump wins again.

It should be happening now. Plenty of bad actors need a beatdown.

Ever hear of the ‘Battle of Athens’? That’s where some Tennesseans took out the trash after WWII.
