A crowd running aimlessly. No place to go. They are many and are looking for a prey. From a distance the bodies are just thumbnails and the street a battleground. A scenario of diffused war, ownership dispute.
Some kick, another falls, one dies, the others look, and continue running. December 2013. Police Sedition – Looting – Lynching.
In several provinces of northern Argentina, police abandon their tasks creating “liberated zones.”
Looting occur. Neighborhood groups try to lynch suspected looters. In these looting, promoted and enabled by the police sedition, primarily dispensable items were stolen: electronic, computer, cell. There is a new poverty in Argentina that is not related to the lack of food as in 2001/2002, but the inability to access objects that are needed in the consumer society
