36. Who can forget that poor lamb, and anti-Chavez skinhead, Julio Soto, shot into the hereafter

to instantly become the focus and inspiration of loud howling, posturing for publicity purposes, a mawkish funeral procession, and all styles of theatrical chewings of the scenery by fellow anti-Chavez students in Zulia?

Venezuela detains 6 in anti-Chavez student's death

CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuela says six people, including three army intelligence officials and a police officer, have been detained in the killing of an opposition student leader.

Justice Minister Tarek Al Aissami says two civilians were detained along with the intelligence employees and officer, who had been suspended from Venezuela's scientific and investigative police for disciplinary reasons.

He said Thursday that the presumed murder weapon has been recovered, and that authorities are investigating two additional suspects.

University of Zulia student Julio Soto died Oct. 1 when his vehicle was sprayed with gunfire.

The local university students surged into the streets, bellowing their rage against Hugo Chavez, holding him responsible for the murder of their student leader, a 32 year old law student, with over a million dollars in his bank account, sounding off to the media, using his murder as a real anti-Chavez festival of hatred, only to learn, as detectives pursued the phone numbers in Julio's phone, that he was completely involved with some local criminals, some dirty cops, and had been selling on the black market government-funded bus tickets, meant for allowing students to travel by bus at low rates, stolen cars, drugs, etc. He had bribed local dirty cops, even sent one on trips to Mexico, Panama, Barbados. His partners in crime did him in.

Was there any statement of apology by the local anti-Chavez protesters? Of course not.
