The people, wearing balaclavas and largely dressed in black, were seen wielding large guns and accosting huddled staffers on the live feed, which eventually cut out.

Some of the invaders gestured at the camera and someone could be heard yelling "no police".

Did one of the Mexican “migrant” trains get confused and headed south?

“Because” is not clear. It could be coke cartel reacting to the clampdown, it could be rivals of the president’s father complaining about “business”, or it just could be commies. Who knows? Maybe it’s descendants of Atahualpa trying to reclaim rule.

Third world politics is harder to figure out than ours, so far.

Chavez supporters storm TV station

Armed protestors stormed the Caracas headquarters of a television station critical of Hugo Chavez’s government, one of the channel’s managers said.

Globovision’s Maria Fernanda Flores said around 30 people arrived at the outlet’s headquarters by car and aimed guns at security staff, forcing their way into the building — where they activated two teargas canisters.

One municipal policeman, charged with guarding the building, and some private guards were hurt during the attack, the station said.

“We cannot tolerate that violence would be an instrument though which we resolve our differences,” Flores said.

Station manager Alberto Federico Ravell said he held Chavez responsible for the attack.

“This attack is no longer against freedom of expression, it is against the lives of the people who work here.”
