CARACAS, Venezuela -- Days before a polarizing vote to start rewriting its constitution, Venezuela is convulsing to a rhythm of daytime strikes and nocturnal clashes. The most recent violence drove the death toll from nearly four months of unrest to 102 on Thursday.

Oh come now. If this was Ferguson, Missouri, then-Missouri Governor Jay Nixon would hold the National Guard back and go hug Obama.

Then there was the guy getting his snack on while throwing back the tear gas.........we read about him months ago.

They probably had to drag the media kicking and screaming to report on it, though. They don't want to rat out their fellow travelers in the Venezuela government.

They voted for it, just like people here are voting for the same thing to happen. People actually do get what they deserve. Sorry.

Over 100 killed, but I wonder how many Los desaparecidos (The Disappeared) there are? Enemies of The State have a tendency to vanish in the night.
