The masked men, are young

The masked men, are young people who are struggling in all protests against the police are mostly young anarchists.
Are masked to avoid being identified by videos or pictures so as not to be arrested later.
Thank you for your congratulations.

Fantastic work! Why do all

Fantastic work! Why do all protests in Santiago seem to get hijacked by these masked youths?
