A BBC journalist, who attempted to film the crisis, was stopped and forced by soldiers to delete footage of a protest outside a supermarket as desperate Venezuelans waited for food.

Baying crowds shouted “We want to buy stuff!” as they grouped outside the store in the country’s capital, Caracas.

BBC journalist Vladimir Hernandez reports that many people approached him to say they had queued forIn the short clip, the crew are warned by a demonstrator that they have been spotted by members of the Venezuelan army.

They are soon surrounded by soldiers as the crowd screams: “Let them film!”

Soldiers can then be heard saying: “Delete that video right now in front of me,” as the journalists are moved away from the demonstrations. 12 hours without being able to buy what they wanted.

Anyone see Sean Penn or Danny Glover or Harry Belafonte in any videos helping the people?

Remember when people like me warned you Venezuelans that it was going to end like this?

And you Venezuelans laughed and sneered and gave us the finger and called us racists?

Well enjoy your government. :)

All of the nations are socialist, with mostly socialists by far picking candidates and leaders. Venezuela did go more nationalist for a short time, though, with a Venezuela First kind of policy. We’re seeing the punishment of Venezuela carried out by the world’s biggest investors and their political influence.

Please, tell us some more Leftist fairy tales!

It's all those evil capitalists again, right?

ROTFLMAO!

What we're really seeing, of course, id the failure of yet another Marxist wet dream.

Because, you see, Marxism is a prosperity-destroying abomination which will eventually degenerate into chaos and murder.

Vote Trump!

I remember years ago when people on the left were asked to name a successful socialist country and they would cite Sweden. Those days are over. They originally wanted to establish a socialist country where they could have "a market economy without individual capitalists and entrepreneurs." At one time, their effective marginal tax rate was over 100% in some circumstances. These facts come from a national review story about bernout Sander's sick love affair with socialism.

Perhaps socialism is good deep fried? Although chavez is quite fat, and the deep frier could overflow when he starts rendering down...

Just do a stealth flyover and parachute packets of food with American flags printed on them. Include the message: ‘A gift from the U.S.-home of freedom and capitalism!’

Delete it. Let them see you delete it. Apologize and be very sincere. Switch off the camera and offer to put it back in the bag.

Now, don’t take another photo that would wrote over that location on the memory. Leave country. Run simple recovery program and enjoy the photos the soldier saw you delete.

This also works for cops, secret service and others.

Very nice if you have a signal where you are. Live streaming is the bomb.

And streaming is wonderful in case the camera gets confiscated.

I don’t think there’s enough of him left.

On the other hand, Maduro is still vertical.

In a few weeks, I fully expect that the reporters will be ‘deleted’ along with the videos.
