Riots broke out overnight in Santiago, Chile because people are fed up with the inequality in their country. They set fire to the Enel Chile building downtown (power company).
Events of friday's night described as "the worst riots in decades". Protests come amid broader discontent over the rising cost of living. As evidenced by this graffiti... "If there is no bread for the poor there will be no peace for the rich"
Protests against Metro fare hike on Friday led to destruction of several stations, fires, and, on Saturday, looting and violence that spread to other cities.
Violent protests taking place in Lebanon, France, and Spain, and now Chile as well. The protesters raised the level of demonstrations and began to light government-related buildings on fire
