"In Venezuela, the govt called for a "humanist" response to the crime wave that has impacted the country since Chavez took over. "And what does this "humanism" consist of? A military intelligence and police operation involving the execution (forget trial!) of "known criminals" by uniformed officers wearing masks... like this lovely humanist below. These images aren't photoshopped. This is Venezuela's reality. On Friday they executed nine people. And then they called it an "Operation for the Liberation of the People (OLP!)" The rich irony department is going really strong in president Maduro's propaganda office.
Venezuelans were free for decades and decades. And then, all of a sudden, they lost their freedoms. One by one. And by the time everyone agreed "something must be done" it was too late. This mask perfectly captures the darkness of living in a dictatorship."
