How are things down there in Peru with all the protests?

In your circle of contacts, do you see more support or condemnation of the protestors?

It's very very bad in here. The protests were supposedly going to be pacific but they are the opposite. People dying, people without work, policeman dying, streets are unsafe. In my circle of contacts I see full support for the fight against the protestors, not because they don't have the right to protest, because obviously they do, but because of the extreme violence of the protests. They are taking airports, police stations, civil homes, people's workplaces. I've heard a lot of people talking about "police abuse" because policeman have shot several protestants. It sounds awful at first until you see how the protestors are acting towards the police and enviroment. I mean, if some protestor randomly throws you a brick and is going with handmade weapons directly towards you what are you going to do? The protestors have caused incredible damage to the city, to the people and to the officers. They are free to protest, I fully agree with their rights, everyone has the right, but nobody has the right to do the harm they are doing in the name of "protesting"

Links so you can see how are this "protests"
