This is what you get for your false promises that brought nothing but misery. Communism fails every time it’s tried.

Probably the rotten eggs they bought at the store for $10 apiece.

They are starving and they threw eggs at him. It is that bad that they threw useful food. Well, maybe the eggs were the ones that had gone bad.

Good point. They should stick to rocks, or maybe hand grenades.

I always, fondly, remember the photo of Benito Mussolini and his girlfriend - hanging by their ankles.
Such is the appropriate end of ALL communist dictators.

It is amazing how fast things can fall apart for Communist dictatorships. It took about a month and a half from the initial appearance of protests and barely over a week from the start of major protests for Romania's Ceaușescu to be executed.
If the Venezuelans are already openly throwing debris at Maduro he should probably keep his escape plane fueled and on the runway.

Eggs? Hope they were rotten, no sense wasting good food.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I’m only surprised that they have any eggs in Venezuela, outside the elite circles, anyway.

It seems to me Freepers used to scan the first 50 posts at least to see if they were about to re-post someone else’s comment. Maybe I remember wrong and I’m just getting old and grumpy.
