Sure did, if you admit his plan was to traumatize an entire nation into absolute silence for ages following a total unleashing of
absolute evil, sadistic hell upon a shocked, confused citizenry, and turn a country into a madhouse.

I learned over a decade ago about the spectacle Chileans used to see around them in Santiago, on a daily basis. I saw a photo once of one man standing on the banks of the river flowing through the capital looking down as a body of a young man floated down and past him. I haven't been able to find that photo again, didn't think fast enough to get a copy for my files at the time.

I DID find a photo of an old man looking down from a bridge across the same river, painted to commemorate that national trauma, seeing dead citizens floating by in the river:
