[quote]CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Thousands of opponents of President Nicolas Maduro poured into the streets of Caracas on Saturday as part of a week long protest movement that shows little sign of losing steam. [B]Just as the march was beginning, angry opposition members snatched a TV camera from crew members working for pro-government state broadcaster VTV, chasing them away from the crowd with shoves and insults.[/B] The protesters included 26-year-old Victoria Paez, who sported a baseball cap from opposition candidate Henrique Capriles' last run for the presidency, when he lost to Maduro by less than 250,000 votes. "Every day, the government gives us more reasons to leave our homes and protest," said Paez, who [B]earns less than $20 a month as a chemical engineer.[/B] She said she's thinking about joining a sister and scores of college friends who have left the South American country to seek a better future. While she said she was hopeful the world is beginning to see there are injustices in Venezuela, her father, Carlos Paez, was more pessimistic. [B]"Unfortunately, if there has to be bloodshed for the government to change, it won't be the first time in history," he said.[/B][/quote] [url]http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/venezuelans-pour-caracas-streets-anti-maduro-protest[/url]
How long until Maduro orders the wholesale slaughter of his people? It can't be far from now.

[QUOTE=Disgruntled;52078439]How long until Maduro orders the wholesale slaughter of his people? It can't be far from now.[/QUOTE] So far he's responded with only tear gas and rubber bullets, which has been fairly effective in dispelling crowds so far. So long as he keeps to non-lethal means of breaking up protests I don't think he needs to worry about the people taking it a step further unless the situation there severely deteriorates beyond even his control.
I'm hoping the end is near for the Chavista government but they still have such a large portion of the populace that supports him because they have benefited from his charity. Maduro doesn't have to pull an Assad to spark a civil war, I feel like the right spark could set it off at any time now.
good, I just hope they can push maduro out with minimal violence

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;52079901]I'm more on the boat of him getting the Mussolini treatment.[/QUOTE] This. Maduro deserves pain.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;52080059]Mob justice isn't justice.[/QUOTE] I usually agree, but in Mussolini's case it was a great justice that he was eliminated before he could cause more trouble.
[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;52080307]This. Maduro deserves pain.[/QUOTE] You are wonderfully humane.

Maduro is incompetent to the point of being criminally negligent, he's not evil. Just needs to be exiled or criminally charged, it's hardly a Mussolini situation that requires some lynch mob to hurl insults at his corpse :s:

Yeah, lets kill world leaders that we think did things that we don't like. That has always worked so well in the past. Surely a mob killing the leader of a country wouldn't spark a huge civil war, would it?

Agreed
