The media is downplaying, and in most cases ignoring, the extreme nature of the crisis currently going on in socialist Venezuela under the Maduro regime.  Most of the cries for help are from people begging the international media to cover their plight.

Some of the video and photography are stunning as millions of people take to the streets to protest a collapsing economy and food shortages while being met with tanks, guns and rogue militias hired by the government.

Some of the targeted citizens appear chosen at random.  Some of the citizens are also desperate and fighting back. Warning – These images are graphic and the video feeds are also alarming.  However, the media are barely reporting on any of this, and unfortunately, it looks like things are getting worse:

re: 46 - this one has escalated from “shoot them all” to “we can’t shoot them all” very rapidly. That tends to be a watershed in street demonstrations. Those boys in the riot helmets look a little lonely at the moment.

Heartbreaking. Don’t need to speak Spanish to understand these people are suffering.

Stunning to think that in our own country we have people supporting socialism, fewer freedoms, and the suicide that is giving up your God given rights as a human being.

Absolutely....their forces are just not enough to keep things level.....and Im not so sure Maduro’s ary is willing to step in if this continue...the people cannot dispose him without the army backing them..

What’s very interesting is this has the hallmarks of the Egyptian Revolution when they outed the Muslim Brotherhood Dictator Morsey....There were several of us here on FR covering that before the news did...and throughout.So we’ll see.....

Hopefully the demorats and their thugs will quiet down before it ever turns into something like this...even if they tried the push back would be fierce by all of us.

A discussion topic from Who is John Galt?: A Navigational Guide to Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, Part III, Chapter VIII:

In the absence of people's ability to affect government policy, they resort to "politics by other means," i.e., assassination, insurrection, secession and civil war... Vainglorious chest-beating aside, how can the people resist a government with modern armed forces, weapons of mass destruction, drones, and the will to use them against its own citizens?
