Venezuelan COPS Kidnapped Pro Athlete’s Elderly Mom And Held Her For Ransom…And This ISN’T Unusual

Our state has failed in many ways. There is no security, there is no food production system, and the economy collapsed a long time ago. Under these conditions, anyone with the smallest bit of power will do everything they can to keep their life quality. Stealing medicines in the shipments in Customs, openly stealing from law-abiding citizens, taking their cellphones, or anything that could be exchanged for some food, alcohol, or other stuff. This is the current situation here, and I am not sweetening anything.

Here’s How Most Venezuelans Lost An Average of 43 Pounds In Two Years

I feel sorry for these people. I know many will say it’s their own fault but I don’t buy that at all.

[nuke_road_warrior]

Life in yet another Socialist Workers Paradise.

Sure wish there was some way to instantly transport several million Snowflakes to Venezuela for a couple of months and then ask them if they’d like to come back to the “horrible, capitalistic, US”. Perhaps then they would appreciate what Socialism/Communism really has to offer.

[DuncanWaring]

Ping.

[butlerweave]

Now you’re Vegan ,LOL

[Freedom4US]

This situation is totally precedented. Entirely precedented. Completely I-f&$@ing-warned-you-this-would-happen-a-dozen-times precedented. What are they on about writing something like that?

LOL!!

[ichabod1]

Well, a meat free diet is really better for them, better for the planet, better for their carbon footprint.

[Delta 21]

Thats gotta suck.

[headsonpikes]

Evidently the people of Venezuela are undeserving of the generous socialist system created by their wise leaders.

Oh well, the genuine equality of the grave awaits us all.

[Republican Wildcat]

The fruits of faithfully implemented socialism.

I’d love to think this could never happen here - but look at the number of people who would have at least considered voting for Bernie Sanders.

[From The Deer Stand]

Our little USA snowflakes need to learn what their favored socialism is all about.

[i_robot73]

Surprised. No ‘enterprising’ minds, filling up a boat to take down and trade (just below the black-market costs) and corner the market...

No word yet on how much weight anyone in the elected/protected class(es) have lost /s

[right way right]

I would die killing their elitist ruling class.
I would eat them.

[RayChuang88]

In short, we are witnessing a famine that could be just as bad on a per-person basis as the infamous Great Leap Forward famine in China between 1958 and 1963--and that Chinese famine may have killed 45 million people.

[M Kehoe]

Ain’t socialism grand?

Spit.

[dfwgator]

I wouldn’t worry, the food still tastes the same.

[aimhigh]

If you study the history of communism, this starvation is pre-planned, and on purpose. Their goal is to destroy the will of the people, and make them all dependent on the government.

[GOPJ]

They bought into Socialism...

Venezuelan Commie/Socialist Speeches should be translated into English, compiled into a book w/pictures of starving Venezuelans on every other page - and used as a textbook for our idiot children who buy Commie lies.

[Publius]

"Privations strengthen a people's spirit," wrote Bertram Scudder, "and forge the fine steel of social discipline. Sacrifice is the cement which unites human bricks into the great edifice of society."
