...left the peaceful celebrations, the crowd begun its march to Chile’s seat of government, La Moneda. I returned home to TV coverage of tear gas and water-shooting tanks.

Spotting a lynching in the making, plain-clothes policeman Antoine Granomort thrust himself between Hazout and the mob, fending off kicks and punches with sprays of tear gas. With the horde's racist frenzy escalating at the sight of the Jewish Hazout shielded by Granomont, who is black, the cop pulled out his service revolver, ordered his attackers to back off, and fired shots when they surged anew. One of those bullets injured a PSG fan before...
