The No. 2 leader of Venezuela’s opposition-controlled congress was arrested by security forces Wednesday as President Nicolás Maduro’s government began going after foes tied to the failed attempt to stir up a military uprising last week.
National Assembly Vice President Edgar Zambrano was leaving his Democratic Action Party’s headquarters when he was surprised by a commando unit from the feared SEBIN intelligence agency. The unit members surrounded his car, according to reports.
A half-hour later, the officers towed the vehicle away with the lawmaker still inside, at the same time that Maduro was speaking live on state TV and inaugurating an agricultural project. Neighbors looking on, shouting, “Assassins!” as the heavily armed agents pulled away.

Boy when they tow your car there, they mean business!!
What is that old saying? If you shoot at the king, don’t miss!
Suffice to say, this Venezuela thing will not end well.
Paging Judge Freisler.
Yeah. Except when you let the government take them away, all you can do is stand on the sidewalk and shout at them.

My though exactly. The guys tried a military coup and failed. Did they expect a participation award or what? I am really surprised why they are still giving interviews and not in prison.
My worry is that somebody in the US State Department told them help was coming that never came.

Hes a Dead Man Walking. The Dictator is cementing his rule. Looks like a new Stalin in the Making. Lots more folks going to die!
Except in Cuba they were patriots. Now it is one group of commies against another.
“Now it is one group of commies against another.”
Indeed, the difference between Manuro and Guido appears to be Commie Traditional and Nuevo Socialista. Still amounts to same old-same old. Just pigs with different shades of red lipstick.
Hope that Leopoldo Lopez proves different.
Not for this guy and his supporters.
Interesting point there.
It is similar to our choice of voting for McCain or obama; or voting for Romney or obama.
The Venezuelans as a country are like a dem controlled metropolis like Detroit or LA. They will keep voting socialist over and over thinking the next one will be better.
Yep.The commies hated him because he killed so many of their kind.
I wonder if Cafe Press will make a “Pinochet Helicopter Tours-1/2 Half Price Special” tee shirt.

Yep. I’ve wondered that, myself.
