Most of the heroes that saved Chile the last time have been pursued and prosecuted ever since for "crimes against humanity" (delitos de lesa humana). Meanwhile, terrorists and thugs are celebrated as "victims" and are awarded pensions that pay tens of thousands a year.
The current President, Sebastían Piñera, is spineless in the face violent revolutionists. He'd rather rather let vandals, arsonist and looters run wild than be accused of "violating human rights".
It's all very sad what's happening in what used to be a very pleasant, civilized and prosperous country.
I am still on the Chile U.S. Embassy’s news distribution list...amazing the increase in warnings about upcoming “disturbances”.
This all starts and is encouraged in the universities...especially Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago.
If people think our US universities are far left...they ain’t seen nuttin...nada.
I lived for one year, prior to moving to La Serena, in Lo Barnechea, two houses from the back yard of Pinochet’s Santiago residence.
Safest location in all of South America!!

Thank You, you very well describe Chile and the situation.
