With one person murdered every 21 minutes in Venezuela, 25 deaths from these disturbances is equal to the number of murders committed during one single business day in this socialist paradise.

'72 murders per day in Venezuela'.... where is this headline?

It's only going to get worse, till someone caps that baffoon.
Meanwhile the rest of the world sits by and does nothing.

“Opposition activists blamed armed government supporters for shooting the student near his home in Valencia city, but the state governor said the shot came from snipers among protesters.” Anybody believe this? Have not “armed government supporters” been seen on motorcycles shooting at protestors? And the guy painting his house was also shot by “protestors”, was he? No, Maduro is off on a killing spree!

When people are hungry and bored and out of work going to the latest riot is something to do really. As events in Syria have proved sooner or later a suppressed people have only one option to turn to when the state resorts to violence. Wait until things keep getting worse in Argentina. At least Maduro has the military to depend on. I just came from living in Colombia. What is amazing is two almost identical countries side by side. One growing and fighting poverty and improving the economy and the other one running out of food and riots in the street. Coming to a city near in Cristina.

I'm very sorry for the 25 victims and their families, but this type of headline is not what I'd like to read...“MADuro assassinated” would be much better.....for VZ, LATAM, and the world...one less shitty little dictator.
