"Countless Wounded" After 5,000 Loot Supermarket Looking For Food [Venezuela]
Zero Hedge ^ | 15 May 2016 | Tyler Durden

As pure desperation has set in, crime has becomes inevitable. A man accused of mugging people in the streets of Caracas was surrounded by a mob of onlookers, beaten and set on fire, who published a pixeled-out but still graphic video of the man burning as mob justice is now the supreme arbiter of who lives and who dies:

"Roberto Fuentes Bernal, 42, was reportedly caught trying to mug passersby in the Venezuelan capital

and before police arrived at the scene, the crowd took the law into their own hands." The video can be seen here.

Now, in the latest shocking development, Venezuela saw a new wave of looting this week that resulted in at least two deaths, countless wounded, and millions of dollars in losses and damages.

According to Panampost, on Wednesday morning, a crowd sacked the Maracay Wholesale Market in the central region of Venezuela. According to the testimonies of merchants, the endless food lines that Venezuelans have been enduring to do groceries could not be organized that day.

As time went by, desperate Venezuelans grew anxious over not being able to buy food. Then they started jumping over the gates and stormed the supermarket.

"They took milk, pasta, flour, oil, and milk powder. There were 5,000 people".

No, you’re wrong.

OUR socialists know how to do it correctly, unlike every socialist that has ever lived.

They’re smart dontchaknow.

Indeed, I followed the link and found a story about climate change activists at a railroad.

Hope all you America-hating and blaming Venezuelans are happy.

DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic. DEFUND/DISMANTLE/DESTROY (if necessary) their collectives, foreign and domestic. No SHTF moment necessary in America.

It’s easy to…

live - free - republic

(in the meantime...be prepared, anyway)

It’s not too late - obama could still manage this right here in the US.

They’re eating their shoes in Venezuela, and the American professors are telling everyone that the socialists are eating “filet of sole”.

Make every college professor and student watch these videos.

Not too many pairs of shoes have leather soles anymore, they’re plastic or rubber. Inedible.

"lunch is around 1,500 bolivars"

One Bolivar = 0.10 US.

$150 US for lunch.

The hilarity is that 'white folks greed' results in literal multi-story warehouses full of goods, food and medicine. Contrast that with an entire continent across the sea where the M.O. is "hungry, poor, probably sick and ain't got a pot to p!ss in" and that's when times are good. If you ever want to blow a libtard's mind tell them that during the worst of the apartheid era in South Africa there was a steady stream of black immigrants year after year, even in the worst years of some truly inexcusable cruelty. Because even the hope of working as a doorman or janitor for the rest of your life in greedy white man-land eating second-rate food and having 1 doctor for 1000 people beat the status quo of nation-wide famines and NO doctors. I'll repeat that for emphasis: people's homelands were so awfully poor that they literally preferred something a few shades away from slavery in a foreign land to freedom in their own land. Wrap your head around that for a minute. Imagine how desperate you would have to be to make that kind of decision. I bet you won't hear THAT taught in the 'history' classes in public 'school'!

Stray cats and dogs are becoming a rare sight in Venezuela, as people begin devouring these animals, as well as rats and other vermin. As in N. Korea, it won’t be long before reports of cannibalism begin to come in.
