What do you think your post accomplishes?
"285 people injured, most because of tear gas." Not true, the people were injured by bullets...Venezuelan people are so used to protesting against tear gas attacks they know how to guard themselves from it, bullets is another thing.
Also, find out who Adriaan Alsema is, in case you don't know, he wrote the article you sent in the link...he is a left wing nut case, he most probably has a shrine for Chavez and Fidel Castro at his home. The credibility of his reporting is dubious, to say the least, many of his articles have been debunked in the past.
But in any case...The people who were injured were waiting and trying to protect the humanitarian aid because the regime had already said they were not going to allow it to come into the country, find videos (videos don't lie) of Maduro & Diosdado Cabello who has more brains than Maduro saying that they would allow the shipments to come in but THEY would distribute them, and that never happens, they move it to their warehouses then sell them to the citizens, and he also made statements about the food that was coming saying that it was poisoned and for people to take the risk if they wanted. What that translates to is that the regime was most probably planning to put poison in the food to make a point, these people don't care. The citizens did not want to allow them to take over the shipments because of all the implications I just explained so they sent the national guard to shoot unarmed people.
Don't stop at one article, find out who wrote it, and continue to do your research, maybe you will come out with a different conclusion and not support Maduro and the Cuban regime in Venezuela.
