3. Setting neighborhoods on fire, firebombing clinics, cars, etc, is not "merely" protesting.

5. To be fair, they would be quickly overrun if they didn't put up barricades.

If they stood around with signs protesting.

Here's tonights barricade in Petare, the poorest part of Caracas.



Look at these kinds of barricades in Oaxaca (I was there a few days before Brad Will got killed).



I am by no means saying the students are going about it the right way, they should go home at night, and return to protest in day. If they need a staging ground ala Occupy and aren't allowed one, then they set up barricades.

6. Could you not post CC?

They're hysterical and wrong 95% of the time (nevermind that two of their editors are right wing; the other three who actually live in Venezuela aren't though). They actually think this protest movement has legs. It'll be over in a week or two at most.
