(3) The priest who led the mass was coup-backing Scarpellini, who some say attended the UCB meeting where coup leaders met to anoint Añez as self-declared President. The legislature came to exploit the mourning of the Senkata massacre relatives. Police militarized the area.pic.twitter.com/cNa3IdM6p4

(4) El Alto residents were already indignant and were further enraged when far-right coup co-conspirator Oscar Ortiz (Senator, Santa Cruz) arrived. At this point the neighbors were demonstrating for a slew of reasons, carrying posters and photos of massacred loved ones.pic.twitter.com/EiCNBTA5xL

(5) Police arrived and began shooting off tear gas. The video at the end is residents running to Senkata's 25 de Julio primary school when they learned that the children had fallen victim. Bolivian media will only be airing images of a few people throwing rocks at police.pic.twitter.com/E6jhXgJCoV
