Most of my classes are downtown, and the main offices of my employer is a couple of blocks away from Plaza de Mayo, so I walk by the Casa Rosada everyday along with all the other million of busy porteños, in business suites.

 

We were able to spend the afternoon in between classes walking around and enjoying the nice argentine sun. I enjoyed seeing the riot police and riot vans and police just hanging about waiting for the next protest.

 

I wish I could be the water cannon shooter. They have a camera attached to the camera and I think they control it from inside, sounds like fun shooting people with water.

 

Let's protest against insecurity and violence with more violence and insecurity.  Today the city is shut down.  Protesters have blocked all the freeways and there is no public transportation which really cripples the city.  I don't really understand the mentality of trying to fix economic and social problems with picketing and crippling the city.  But I guess if the government is really useless and inept at making things better perhaps the only way to get things changed is to drastically cripple the country.  It does however, at least for me, seem quite counterproductive, to hurt your own economy.
