Little by little, some of us are recovering.
First, I want to thank a lot of people for the help on the internet.
Specially my girlfriend ~

just-a-CreEp and others (because I haven't checked a lot) who have been spreading information about the people who are doing fine, or alive in the area.
You can check more information in their journals here:

Speaking about my own experience, I'm fine, my family is fine and I've heard many of my friends near here are fine too, thankfully, but we still haven't heard about some of them.
My house is fine, we've been so lucky we didn't suffer major damages. After some days, we finally have water back in the neighborhood, electricity (though I don't know for how long), internet and the phone lines are getting better.
The only way for us to get information about anything was the radio, and I'm glad that finally the military are taking control here. I'll let you know. Worse than the earthquake itself, was the hordes of insane criminal people.
In my area/city, of all the damages so far.... 35% has been done by the earthquake. 65% has been done by the people. Criminals, thieves, pillaging, destroying, burning EVERY grocery store, gas stations, markets, basically ANY building with merchandise, from the very first moment. They've assaulted houses and stolen everything from those people.
They've been called the "2nd Earthquake".
In my area, for the first 3 days we've been so fucking scared that they could ravage our houses too. Some of them we're robbed, but luckily we're fine. The people in the neighborhood have been taking shifts, staying up all night, making barricades and more. The military/army has been taking control because the police couldn't do anything. But the assaults are still going on. Even after the curfew. But luckily they've captured many of them and even killed a few.
I don't know how we'll be able to buy food later. Luckily the help is coming but I just can't believe these people... they're not human, they're not animals, they're demons.
I can only hope for the best now, and hope other people are fine, lots of them lost their homes, here, in santiago, and to the south, and I still can't believe how lucky we've been so far.
Thanks everyone. Wish I could tell you more but I don't have too much info myself. Check the journals I mentioned before.

El humano después de todo, es un animal con la suerte de haber desarrollado "conciencia".

(Digo eso, porque en Haití, para su terremoto, se demoraron un par de días antes de empezar a saquear... acá en chile apenas fueron un par de horas)
La delicuencia es la consecuencia directa del descuido por parte de los gobiernos de la educación publica y de las diferencias que se crean a su paso entre los que tienen acceso a una educación de calidad (eventualmente privada) y una población mayoritaria que se vuelve ignorate, rechazada y resentida al sentir no tener oportunidades en el sistema.
Piensan que obteniendo (por cualquier medio) las posesiones que ostentan los que representan el estrato de la clase alta podrán ser como ellos.
Es un ideal compartido por las sociedades del mundo, en mayores y menores escalas, pero que los abraza a todos por igual, con las mismas consecuencias.

Pero más que eso... gran culpa la tuvo el oportunismo de tantos muchos que no son resentidos. Es que en Chile la ley es muy "mano blanda"... y apenas castiga a la delincuencia ni deja caer su peso. Entonces la gente no le teme a la ley.
Mucha gente de clase media y clase alta estuvieron involucrados en los saqueos por la simple razón de que "no tiene nada de malo, no nos van a castigar/atrapar/encarcelar"... Y es la misma por la que los delincuentes que son detenidos una vez por delitos, son dejados en libertad a la semana después, sólo para volver a delinquir : <
No deberia ser el miedo a las represalias lo que te abstenga de hacer algo malo, debe ser el hecho de saber las consecuencias sobre tu entorno.
