An update

The director of the municipal agency who was beaten and spit upon by the mob that took over his office has struck back.
His supporters -- allegedly from the same neighborhood -- raided the adjacent Plaza 24 de Septiembre yesterday and beat up people believed to have been involved in the building takeover.
To further complicate matters: Local press reports that the mob that took over the building on Monday and demanded a neighborhood cleanup also accused one of the officials in the agency of passing off phony bills at her lottery stand.
As some kicked and spit on her boss inside on Monday, others chased her outside and tore most of her clothes off (a tasteful photo of the act appeared in the next day's paper.)
She (wearing a neck brace) and her supporters formed part of the retaliatory mob that flooded the central square on Tuesday.
Local press reports that the municipal offices are still occupied by SOMEONE other than those who are supposed to be there. I read the articles more than once and can't figure out which mob is hanging out. Either way, it didn't concern the hundreds of military police officers who gathered in the same square Wednesday to celebrate Bolivia's flag day. Why bring order when you can blow a trumpet instead?
