Borges had been attempting to enter the headquarters of the country's electoral body in downtown Caracas with other opposition figures. Security was heavy, with lines of police looking on.

Borges accused police of pushing him toward gangs loyal to President Nicolas Maduro.

"Government supporters beat us with total impunity with pipes, stones, and explosives that went off in the middle of a group of lawmakers," Borges said. "Maduro, what we want is to vote."

The USA is well on our way to the nightmare that is Venezuela, with DemocRAT thugs beating Trump supporters while police look on indifferently.

article says there were “lines of police” on hand, but no indications that anything was done about the brutal thugs assaulting peaceful political opponents

sounds like San Jose, CA

I read one account that Trump rally attendees were deliberately herded past a hostile mob without protection.

Statist never take no for an answer. Beating Hillary and removing Obama from office will take a super hero. Do not expect Hillary’s email problems to stop her. The CIA, State Department and NSA do not want some of the information discussed in those emails to ever see the light of day. The FBI has no idea how deep that rabbit hole goes. Much deeper than pay for play or giving up foriegn assets. It would shake the entire state to its foundation. People would no longer even trust the idea of governance. Trump needs to expect that he is in for the fight of his life.

"Colectivos”, the Chavista equivalent of the Nazi Brown Shirts, attacked Congressman Julio Borges on June 9.

States can manipulate like puppets if they are determined enough to do so and have enough gullible subjects. Even states that can’t even figure out how to feed you (or that don’t even WANT to feed you).

The answer is found in the back of the Book. Be faithful unto death, and the Lord will grant the crown of life.

They would need to encounter a reason to not want to be there any more.

But it seems scandalous that in all this modern nicey-nice with Cuba, not a word is said about wanting them to quit milking Venezuela, which is in a bad enough pickle as it is.

Forgiveness, yes, a million times yes. But not one excuse.

"I condemn today's violence in downtown Caracas, which was a product of right-wing provocations. I call on the people to never fall for those provocations again."

Reading from the same playbook as some on the left...and right in the US.

Lesson here is not to have a pipe in your face or else you’ll get hit.

The opposition is doing their damnest to not fight back and make this a hot civil war.

At some point they just need to start shooting the Chavistas.

I hope there’ll be some payback for Maduro loyalists and his rent-a-street thugs after Maduro is ousted.

more like San Jose and too many other US cities descended to Caracas style lawlessness. Whether here or “There”, pushback is a bear as peace is easier to maintain than restore.
