HERE THINGS HAVE BEEN PRETTY ROUGH, MANY BANKS AND SHOPS IN THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IN RUINS , EVEN ON OUR STREET LAST NIGHT THEY SET FIRE IN THE GARBAGE BINS, YOU MUST REMEMBER IT’S A QUIET NEIGHBOURHOOD, NOT REALLY DOWN TOWN, SO YOU CAN IMAGINE. TONIGHT THINGS ARE CALMER, ONLY THE UNIVERSITY IS STILL UNDER OCCUPATION BY ANARCHISTS WITH ON AND OFF CLASHES WITH ANTI RIOT POLICE, BUT TOMORROW THE PLANNED (BEFORE THE SATURDAY KILLING) NATION WIDE WORKERS AND CIVIL SERVANTS STRIKES AND RALLIES WILL TAKE PLACE (DESPITE THE PRIME MINISTER ASKING THE UNIONS TO CANCEL FOR FEAR OF THINGS TURNING EVEN MORE SOUR – HOW DARE HE, THE BASTARD!) SO WHO KNOWS WHAT THE DAY WILL BRING. I’LL BE KEEPING YOU POSTED…. OH, AND DURING THE KID’S FUNERAL TODAY A POLICEMAN SHOT 12 BULLETS IN THE AIR TO INTIMIDATE THE CROWD– THEY HAVE HIM ON CAMERA, HE WAS REALLY OUT OF CONTROL, AND ALL DAY THE POLICE HAVE BEEN BEATING UP STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AND JUST ANYONE IN THE DEMONSTRATIONS… SO THEY’RE BACK, AFTER SUNDAY WHEN THE POLICE WERE REALLY CAUTIOUS, APPARENTLY FOLLOWING ORDERS TO AVOID YET ANOTHER KILLING. BUT NOW EVERYTHING SEEMS PROBABLE…
TAKE CARE!
TAKE CARE!
