With the growing numbers of kidnapping, Lately, I have been seeing more and more rich folks driving around with armed body guard. One of my patients came in with an armed guard, a shot gun holding chopo. When I went to a political party, I saw nothing but armed body guards arriving with rich and powerful folks of santiago. Guys strapped with guns and shotguns.
There was a time when all these rich folks used to roam santiago streets in style and without worries; unfortunately those good times have long gone. With the increasing threat of kidnapping, the rich folks are taking proper precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones.
The diputados (house of deputies members....congressmen) also walk around with armed body guards. These guys used to hang with us simply by making a phone call. Now these guys only come when there is an important function and always have to bring body guards. Even when they go on dates they have their guards waiting outside or sometimes stay with them at the bars.
Many rich folks don't even leave their houses unless its something very important. They have armed guards at home and escorting them everywhere.
Last week I saw another one of my patients jogging with an armed guard along his side.
How sad.
