Quote by Ricardo Piglia

“Si la plata era lo único que justificaba las muertes y si lo que han hecho la han hecho por plata y ahora la queman, quiere decir que no tienen moral, ni motivos, que actúan y matan gratuitamente, por el gusto del mal, por pura maldad, son asesinos de nacimiento, criminales insensibles, inhumanos [...] Pero todos comprendieron que ese acto era una declaración de guerra total, una guerra directa y en regla contra toda la sociedad.”
