Please keep in mind, these people were not protesting or rioting, they were simply trying to vote democratically. They were not looking for violence. The government of Spain sent their police force to keep them from voting. Dressed in safe riot gear, they attacked men, women and the elderly in a brutal, unbelievable use of force. Please support the people of Catalonia and let the world know!
Por favor, tenga en cuenta que estas personas no protestaban ni se amotinaban, simplemente intentaban votar democráticamente. No estaban buscando violencia. El gobierno de España envió su fuerza policial para evitar que votaran. Vestidas con equipo antidisturbios seguro, atacaron a hombres, mujeres y ancianos con un uso brutal e increíble de la fuerza. ¡Apóyen a la gente de Cataluña y dejen que el mundo sepa!
What kind of cruel bastard would violently attack women and the elderly dressed in riot gear?

More than 5.3 million Catalans are called today to vote in a referendum on independence, surrounded by uncertainty over the intention of Spanish institutions to prevent this plebiscite banned by justice. / AFP PHOTO / Raymond ROIG / The erroneous mention[s] appearing in the metadata of this photo by KENZO TRIBOUILLARD has been modified in AFP systems in the following manner: [RAYMOND ROIG] instead of [KENZO TRIBOUILLARD].

(Photo credit should read RAYMOND ROIG/AFP/Getty Images) This man was shot in the face with a rubber bullet. He no longer has sight in his eye. All he wanted to do was vote.
Imagine if you were not allowed to vote in your own country. Spain’s brutality must be exposed.
