Outside Reading #7

The article I read was from cnn.com. This article was about two men that were killed on Tuesday in a Colombian riot. The two men where in the burgeoning Indian protest in Southwestern Colombia and they were on there way to go reject the government. The protesters are looking to have the Colombian government set aside more land for the 1.3 million indians living in Colombia today, provide better education and more money for health care. The police say that one of the men was shot from a nother Indian from within the crowd and the other was shot by police. Since then, demonstrators have blocked the Pan-American highway, fired slingshots and hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails in occational clashes with riot police.
