Situation in Venezuela: who are the violent ones? JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!!

[spanza]

No articles written by opposition or pro-government media, just images.

[spanza]

1. The murder of Bassil Dacosta, student, 24.

In these footages, you can see the police and the chavista "colectivos" opening fire at the students. At the end, Bassil Dacosta is swept by a bullet while he's trying to run for cover. Shot in the head.

Minutes after.

[spanza]

2. Aragua police beating the sh*t out of some students after the demonstration in Maracay

[spanza]

3. Students attack the front entry of a Ministry building in Caracas (with stones)

[spanza]

4. Chavista "colectivos" storm a residential building in Merida, shooting at people's homes

and destroying their cars. The reason? The residents were showing their support to the students' demonstrations by making a cacerolazo.

[spanza]

5. Stones vs bullets, a student who was throwing stones at the security forces gets shot in the abdomen

6. but we need to keep la revolucion alive, its really important for Cuba n/t

[joshcryer]

7. Good post spanza.

Not sure if I ever told you but I found that post where Judi was making fun of Santo's "mascara." Really revolting.

[spanza]

8. I remember when she was trying to get the non-USAians out of the forum.

Extremes touch each other apparently...

[Flatulo]

48. She has the most amazing ability to look at this stuff and not see it. It's worthy of a few

scholarly papers on the effectiveness of propaganda. I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like it - the complete and utter inability to question one's belief system in any way. She's so dehumanized the opposition that they're lower than rodents, lower than fleas, not worthy of even an iota of empathy. I sincerely believe she could view the opposition being fed into a giant meat grinder and thoughtfully observe, "look at those interesting colors."

[spanza]

9. Green gas is being used against the demonstrators in Caracas

[spanza]

10. -WTF?!- Still no images from the opposition being violent?

Still no images from the opposition shooting at cops and militias?

Apparently, our madurista squad has nothing to show besides written material from the Venezuelan government

Are they just lying to other DUers or do they trust their proof-less documentation? I wonder...

[ChangoLoa]

11. That's because they have absolutely NOTHING

They're tarifados, we all know...

[joshcryer]

12. VTV shows prerecorded video from yesterday for protest today:

Trying to smear todays protesters as being "violent" (as if setting some garbage on fire is particularly violent).

idiotas...

[Marksman_91]

13. Wow, and then the chavistas in this forum complain about the manipulation attempts by Faux "News"

I assure you, VTV is just as bad, if not worse, than Faux "News". Here's another dumb example of how they try to make the protesters look "violent"

The dramatic background music sure makes the attempt even more pathetic. Everybody knows that is just utterly poor journalism, trying to set a tone when showing a news report instead of presenting the footage as is. Manipulation at its finest. If you still defend VTV after watching it, you honestly don't even deserve a reply back.

[joshcryer]

14. I remember Capriles' Caracas march.

He pulled like a million people but VTV insisted on looking at another street where people were feeding in. But at the last minute the camera man had a mild trip and it showed the millions on the other side, filling the big square in Caracas and going as far as you could see.

[joshcryer]

15. PROOF the police were with the MURDERERS:

This uses some of the videos compiled in this thread, but they piece the event together very well. Fucking pigs. Using plainclothes to hide the fact that they're with the police, too. Killed a young man with a shot to the back of the head. Senseless. Cowardly. Vile. Corrupt.

[joshcryer]

16. SEBIN laying peaceful siege to Popular Will's headquarters:

The lovely chavistas are the nicest least violent and kind people on the planet.

Popular Will is Lopez' party. siege

[ChangoLoa]

17. PSUV paramilitary shooting against demonstrators in Valencia

Miss Turismo Valencia, Genesis Carmona, was shot in the head during the demonstration yesterday (not in this video)

[joshcryer]

18. Look at all those rich wealthy middle class fascist protesters.

Sarcasm aside, apparently she's blind from rumors I read. Tragic all around.

[joshcryer]

19. More heroic chavistas saving the country:

These national guard heros are saving the revolution by walking around armed and destroying property:

These revolutionary tupamaros or collectivos are surely saving the revolution for all Venezuelans:

[joshcryer]

20. Chavistas chase down fleeing fascist, shoot him in the back:

Then they heroically execute him point blank! Praise be the chavistas!

[joshcryer]

21. National guard heroically deploys restraint bullets (graphic):

[Marksman_91]

22. I'm curious to see how the world will react tomorrow regarding this footage

Clearly the government is not condemning these acts, so that makes them responsible for the whole mess. They've yet to show one shred of proof that protesters are armed and killing innocents in cold blood. So far all the evidence points only to paramilitary AND military themselves cooperating with thugs to intimidate civilians. This is not going to end well for Maduro and the rest of the regime

[joshcryer]

23. It's going to get worse, they're fascists, remember?

The fascists must die in huge numbers for anyone to start caring.

I mean quite literally you have to see video of the National Guard executing dozens of students before the deranged actually give a shit.

[ChangoLoa]

25. The effort of de-humanization made by the resident madurista is an old tactic

Fascists, rats, scumbags, dirtbags, etc...

You negotiate and have dialog with opponents, but it is normal to eliminate "fascists", "rats" and "dirtbags".

[Flatulo]

29. One resident Chavista here is claiming that the student's wounds are just Hollywood makeup.

It just amazes me, the mental gymnastics that some people can perform rather than simply question their own assumptions. Such people will carry their delusions to their grave, as there is no power or reasoning that can change their mind.

[ChangoLoa]

24. One more killing for the National Guard

#t=16

[Bacchus4.0]

30. is that him laying in the parking and they just left him there? n/t

[joshcryer]

27. National Guard heroically runs down students in an APC ala Tiananmen Square:

[joshcryer]

28. National Guard give student tied to a tree a Chavista bath:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10203008170262239

The fascists must be cleansed. The laughter is one of glory for the revolution.

[Bacchus4.0]

31. wow, thats sick. And the chavista supporters

are sick. Caracas Gringo has alot of info and video some of it quite graphic including a pic of woman shot in the face. Just look up Caracas Gringo

[joshcryer]

32. Police heroically shoot protesters from safety of armored vehicle (graphic):

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=430640937038992

[joshcryer]

33. Revolutionary paramilitaries at incident where fascist Carmona was eradicated:

Any one of these shots could've been the kill shot but this may not be where she was at the time but this took place in Valencia where Genesis Carmona was shot in the head and later died.

For Spanish speakers who find this post I am being sarcastic, because apparently some on these forums think that the Chavistas are revolutionary, kind, sharing, helpful, supportive of the downtrodden types of people, but these videos show the true nature of Chavismo.

[joshcryer]

34. Military prepares for valiant march of solidarity (or something):

Today they are planning a mass protest. We will see what happens.

[joshcryer]

[joshcryer]

38. Facists shoot National Guard with WMD cluster munition:

[joshcryer]

39. National Guard bravely fight fascists at altamira plaza:

One fascists can be seen blowing a terror horn which causes great pain to revolutionaries.

[joshcryer]

40. National Guard overtakes fascist barricade in San Cristobal:

[joshcryer]

41. GNB infiltrate San Cristobal only to hear fascist cries of hatred:

[joshcryer]

42. NG sends fascist students carrying illegal bookbag weapons running:

[Marksman_91]

43. Really appreciate you posting all this stuff

So far not a single piece of footage has been shown from the maduristas in this forum that proves that students are armed and shooting at civilians or actually starting fights.

Guess it's totally fine for them to support oppression when it's done by a government that calls itself "leftist" (even when it's really not).

[joshcryer]

44. Indeed.

It's weird that I can't find new videos until around midnight my time. I think it's because of the spotty internet in the really resisting areas, and they have to get them out via sneaker net (on foot, car, physically get a USB flash drive out of there).

[ChangoLoa]

45. GNB and PSUV paramilitaries repressing together in Valera, Trujillo

You'll see the tupamaros coming in (5:48), to break the front doors of a building and set fire to a neighbor's scooter.

[ChangoLoa]

46. K&R

[joshcryer]

47. GNB spray calming agents on violent fascist thugs:

[spanza]

50. "Colectivos" burn a car in Caracas and prevent the firemen from acting

[ChangoLoa]

51. Two more students killed

And there's a new radio show for Maduro!
