Commuters move past blackened barricades smoldering across many streets and take their chances at busy road junctions where traffic lights have been vandalized. The messages also reflect a horrifying, and largely unique, characteristic of the Chilean protests: the injuries to more than 200 people’s eyes by police rubber bullets or tear gas cannisters.
The police chief last week suspended the use of rubber bullets and ordered further tests after a university study suggested they were only 20% rubber and contained lead. “I far prefer this painted and awakened Chile to a passive and quiet oasis,” said Miguel Delso, a 32-year-old architect, who was demonstrating with a group of colleagues and architecture students.
