Cuzco Peru

Cusco mob attacks municipality, radio station and mayor's home.

A mob of citizens have been protesting the construction of a hydroelectric plant in Peru. Specifically in Canchis, a province in the region of Cusco(Pronounced Cuzco). Two Policemen were attacked when confronting the angry mob of people. The protestors attacked sicuani radio station and organized a protest outside of the national bank. They destroyed office supplies and equipment in the radio station. Tourists and students have been stranded in this region of Peru and ask for help. The mob is starting to block major roads and bridges, not allowing anyone to get through.

The Story
I think these people are crazy. They will not get what they want and they are wasting their time. Anyone who is in that mob should get out immediately because they will be arrested if they continue.

The other thing is that a hydroelectric plant is actually good for the environment, and the only huge drawback is that if there is no water, then it will not function. But, water is a renewable resource and the plant is unlikely to run out of water, and if it does, you can always get extra from lakes, rivers, and other sources.

The mob is stupid and should stop now before during further damage to their country.
