Several dead in operation to arrest rogue Venezuela pilot Óscar Pérez - Sensationalist Headlines

[quote]Two police officers were killed in Caracas as security forces closed in on a rogue pilot and former policeman who stole a helicopter and bombed government buildings in an audacious stunt that inspired protesters across Venezuela. Police traced Óscar Pérez to a run-down area near the capital on Monday after six months on the run following his air raid in June last year. According to the Ministry of the Interior and Justice, five members of the “terrorist cell” were arrested in a shootout that lasted several hours and left five injured. Mr Pérez raised the alarm in typically dramatic fashion with a series of posts on Instagram showing him with a bloody face as he claimed to be under siege from regime forces.[/quote] [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/15/several-dead-operation-arrest-rogue-venezuela-pilot-oscar-perez/]Source[/url] Óscar Pérez' status is still not known. The government refuses to confirm if he is dead or alive. Accounts are conflicting, but it's very likely he's dead. This is the same guy that has done a series of videos advocating for elements of the Venezuelan Armed Forces to rebel against Maduro, he's also the one that famously hovered a helicopter above the TSJ's headquarters. Perhaps the most striking thing about this whole situation, is that Óscar Pérez made several posts to Instagram after getting made, including the moments before he declared he was surrendering and would not shoot, and after the government refused his surrender and seemingly wounded him using an RPG. The videos show him saying his last words, making a small speech to his family, shouting 'we are surrendering, do not shoot' all the way as he is getting fired upon. A Venezuelan friend of mine translated the videos and uploaded the transcriptions to his blog.

Your fight will never be forgotten. May Venezuela chime your name for being one of the few who stood up in the name of protecting their homeland. Sic semper tyrannis, comrade. Hopefully, you are in a better place.

His death is now confirmed, a picture of his corpse was leaked to Twitter, and it also confirmed his side of the story that he was getting hit by explosives. Won't be posting it here.

How many lives will be thrown against the government meat grinder? Venezuela doesn't deserve this, Maduro and his filthy hands have poisoned the well.

Maduro and his cronies deserve nothing short of a guillotine at this point. I honestly cannot voice how much I hate Maduro and his cronies. The amount of torture they are putting the Venezuelan people through should be something that the international community is willing to deal with in some way.

hopefully it won't have been for nothing

Weird seeing history live streamed.

I'm speechless and sickened [editline]18th January 2018[/editline] I just hope that one day this is all over

The nearly all of the major world governments have lost their collective minds. At some point people are going to realize that they out number their greedy rulers. I wonder when that will happen?

[QUOTE=Aman;53060715]Weird seeing history live streamed.[/QUOTE] Seeing these being posted live was a really intense experience. The moment where he got hit with an RPG and was bleeding from a side of his head, and the moment where he realised he wasn't actually making it out alive, I mean, they're hard to witness. After the failure of every single politician and diplomat in solving the Venezuelan crisis, people held hope that this guy had a shot at turning things around, even if it was a remote chance. Now that is over, all hope is lost. Things have changed for the worst, ultimately; the crisis rages on, only this time, we're sure it won't end without bloodshed. Maduro had people murdered in cold blood, streamed live, as they begged for mercy. More extreme attempts at deposing him will surely follow.
