Maduro Turns to Special Police Force to Crush Dissent
New York Times ^ | Just now | By Ana Vanessa Herrero and Nicholas Casey

Posted on 01/31/2019 3:12:39 AM PST by cba123

Not usually big on the New York Times, but just saw this article, while searching on the topic.

--

CARACAS, Venezuela — The agents barged into the home of Yonaiker Ordóñez, 18, on Sunday morning as he slept. Dressed in helmets and carrying rifles, the men grabbed the teenager and forced him to another room without explaining why they came, his family said.

“They took him to the area behind and killed him there,” said his sister, Yengly González.

The operation resembled one of the many police raids against the gangs that terrorize Venezuela’s poor neighborhoods. But Mr. Ordóñez’s only crime, his family said, was that he attended a protest against the government days before.

Not ordinarily a huge fan of the NYT, but occassionally they seem to get it right.

You can judge for yourself if this is one of those times...

Sounds like a good time for an FP-45 Liberator style air drop campaign.

I’d prefer we airdrop about 20,000 or so AK-47 Rifles and cases of ammunition. Lord knows we have enough of them we picked up in the Sandbox.

Hopefully the CIA or DIA is still competent enough to identify anti-Maduro areas. Target them and set up some clandestine drops. The CIA can think of them as cocaine runs in reverse.

Like truckers say... Never run empty. Load it both ways, guns down coke back. Make the most out of the trip.

Nice little stamped out my GM smooth bore single shot assassination .45 ACP weapon. You ask sergeant Schultz for a lite…then put one behind his ear and take his MP-40…Ammo, and grenades.

That is exactly what they were designed for. But for some reason we didn’t distribute them as planned. And there were a million produced. Could have made a HUGE difference if we had.

Has anyone asked AOC if she still supports the Maduro regime?

Then we destroyed the million instead of selling them surplus.

A few years ago, near the original plant, a few originals were found. They are worth thousands to collectors.

As I recall, they were all destroyed.

The operation resembled one of the many police raids against the associates of President Trump in their neighborhoods. But Mr. Stone’s only crime, his family said, was that he attended a protest against the government days before.

People used to say “It couldn’t happen here”

It does now.

Obama’s legacy

Yep... We paid to have them produced and then destroyed just about everyone of them.

I stand corrected... Went and dug a bit more and you are right, but probably only 1%-2% of what was manufactured.

Sounds just like the Stone raid by the corrupt FBI, except for the lack of the accompanying toadies from the media.

No one with a functioning brain cell didn’t know this would be the ultimate end to the latest commie embrace of so called “democratic socialism”.
