On October 22nd, veteran journalist Hermógenes Pérez de Arce blamed the Chilean Communist Party and her political allies for the initial wave of destruction, pointing out that as a young teenager he witnessed the 'Revolución de la Chaucha' unfold when 50,000 protesters angry over the rise in bus fares had ransacked downtown Santiago and completely overwhelmed police in running street battles from June 16th-17th before the intervention of the Chilean Army with orders to shoot-to-kill that finally stamped out the leftist violence.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6sMSNeq29g No hay tal crisis social / Comentarios de Hermogenes]</ref><ref>[https://www.guioteca.com/mitos-y-enigmas/la-violenta-revolucion-de-la-chaucha-cuando-santiago-fue-un-campo-de-batalla-por-alza-en-el-transporte-publico/ La violenta “revolución de la chaucha”: Cuando Santiago fue un campo de batalla por alza en el transporte público]</ref>Pérez de Arce witnessed a repeat of the communist tactics during the 'Batalla de Santiago' in early April 1957 when protesters again went on a rampage over a rise in bus fares in the Chilean capital, targeting shops, buses, civilian cars and policemen before the intervention of army reinforcements under General general Horacio Gamboa with orders to shoot-to-kill after first firing warning shots into the crowds that quickly restored order in Santiago and elsewhere.<ref>[https://interferencia.cl/articulos/historiador-experto-la-huelga-de-la-chaucha-reflejo-muy-bien-el-agotamiento-de-los Historiador experto: “La 'Huelga de la chaucha' reflejó muy bien el agotamiento de los santiaguinos”]</ref>
