Hugo Chavez statue torn down in deadly Venezuela protest

[Spike]

Death toll rises to 37 with opposition gearing up for more demonstrations


Local news media carried a video circulating on Twitter of the Chavez statue being pulled down. The media reported that students destroyed the statue as they vented their anger with the food shortages, inflation and spiraling crime that have come to define life here.

Several young men could be seen bashing the statue that depicted the socialist hero standing in a saluting pose, as onlookers hurled insults at the late president.

I have a scheduled meeting next month with a guy from Venezuela who has (supposedly) new chemistry for the flux bath in hot dip galvanizing of steel. Chavez (socialist hero of the left) stole his company and assets at gunpoint. This will be interesting. Poor guy had a gun pointed at his head by the Venezuelan government and was forced to leave his business.

But, yeah Hillary! Yeah Obama! Because that's what we need here.

Socialism is so cool. It just hasn't been done right yet. Trust us. We know the correct way. Now go to building 6 to begin your reeducation process.
