Protests in Colombia marked their ninth day on Thursday with smaller groups of demonstrators in cities including Bogota and Medellin, while industry groups warned of gasoline shortages across the country following road blocks.

Three people were shot in the small city of Pereira on Wednesday night, with a reward of up to 50 million pesos offered for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.

"I'm protesting for our rights - food and utilities are always rising and what you earn isn't enough," said student Alejandra Cortes, 17."I'm upset about the killings, there are no guarantees when you're exercising your right peacefully," said law student Andres Villalba, 19. He expressed sympathy for anti-riot police ESMAD, adding that they are "also afraid" but have to follow orders.

Local advocacy group Temblores has reported 37 deaths in connection with demonstrations while Human Rights Watch said it has so far confirmed 11 were connected to protests, out of 31 reported to it. "We had a much calmer day," Lopez said in a statement, adding a further 23 civilians and six police had been hurt but injuries initially appear minor.

The economy will collapse soon, it is being destroyed with the road blocks, much more unemployment and poverty will come very soon and very strong to Colombia.

Cartel drugs are in high supply.

The GOP has turned into a bunch of coke junkies. Maybe they could help out.
