The Mother of a Venezuelan friend of mine, who lives here in Amsterdam, was attacked and robbed the day before those three people died in the protest.
She was coming from work, she's a doctor in a hospital, when three guys on motorbikes assaulted her and beat her up.
They almost broke her leg and hit her with a machine gun in the ribs and broke some.
He wants to go there to visit his Mother but she tells him not to go or he'll probably won't come back from there.
He doesn't know what to do and is very anxious about all this.
He feels impotent and despaired.
In the middle of this he has to keep on going with his life with all what's happening in mind.
I can't imagine being under such pressure and have such thoughts in my head.
I visited him two days ago at work and he was totally immersed in searching in the internet someone who could tell him anything directly from there.
He told me Twitter had been "shut down" the other day and independent news sources were having difficulties to put anything out.
He also told me that the day any of the kids from the slums gets hit and dies then the drug lords and everybody in these hoods would come down on the protests and then there would be nasty shit going on.
The day people feel that their lives aren't worth anything they'll stop respecting life and then it'll be chaos.- :( so intense and scary. good wishes for your friend.sea_sea

Incredible how police shoot over unarmed people...
- The situation in Ukraine is completely different.oey
- in what respect are they different?hotroddy
- in Ukraine they are shooting each other. both sides have guns. and the motivation is the hatred for russia.oey
- in Venezuela you see police shooting at unarmed students. it's a revolt against their land's authority.oey
- i know this is short. sorry. we could go on. but honestly I'm too tired right now.it's 6am and I'm still working between this.oey
- both situations are fucked up. pretty fucking heavy. Venezuela is not a war zone like it's written in 19F.oey

Basically the national guard and these armed groups (civilians) are roaming the streets threatening the people, damaging cars, etc.
They don't want the people on the streets protesting and they use these tactics.
- yeah i don't think those tactics are working, at all. Looks more like a revival gang.akrok

Im arriving home, its 12:45.
Tonite 2 ppl died in the street, shotted by the National Army forces.
not just the capital city is protesting, most country is.
President said in National TV. that the "tupamaros" (civilians armed group) are working for the nation. by the time Maduro was saying this, those groups went all around the city shotting at buildings and setting things on fire.
if u get caught in the street with a camera you get arrested.
if you are out in the street past 8:00 p.m you can get shooted w/o advice.
Im a graphic dsgn teacher. 2 of my student are under arrest and 1 is missing, their families are desperated. Police are asking for 5k USA $ to set em free. (yes USA $)
Everyone here is trying to support the protesters, wich are mostly students.
Im trying to do everything I can, but things are rough.sorry my english, and the random words. Im tired and frustrated.
