Week 2 of the dictatorship: notching up the repression

I will be brief tonight. It will be all about how repression increases.



That is right, watch the video, now the regime drops over protesters tear gas cans, which may kill someone if hit directly. Think about that for a second. This is material for The Hague, of the best quality.

But that is not all what we saw today.

The march never had a chance to start, it was savagely attacked during the speeches.

The attacks on stray protesters seemed to acquire a new virulence as to the videos that flood Twitter.

I had a medical treatment for my SO and I had to drive across blocked streets, walls of Nazional Guards looking weirdly at me, garbage bags burning, etc. And in the end we could not make it because the complex where we were going had been gassed! And they closed the doors in a hurry. At least we were warned so we could go try to go back through the labyrinth of the battle field left over.

My cleaning lady told me that she took a wrong turn this afternoon and was gassed with her kid who had trouble breathing. Since she does not use Internet and since there is TV black out on any of the protests, she was blissfully unaware of what is going on in the country until reality got to her. Let me just say that I never her her as anti chavista as I saw her today. She was livid in her voice.

On a totally unrelated subject I have started writing in French if any one is interested.
