Venezuelas GNB (Maduro's brownshirts) assault autistic man (video)

Chavismo "democracy".

His name is Gyanny Scovino. He lives in Lechería, in Anzoátegui State: He has Asperger Syndrome, a mild form of autism.

Scovino was taken to the National Guard’s Seventh Regional Command in nearby Puerto La Cruz, treated and eventually received surgery at a local health center, to treat unspecified lesions in his abdomen.

His condition is currently stable but under custody and awaiting Court Martial. (Despite the fact that he isn't in the military, he will be facing a military tribunal with representation of a "military" lawyer.)

Serves him right.... for walking in a parking lot?
