Life in Venezuela

Venezuelans are allowed for 12 hours to cross the border with Colombia to buy food. More than 35,000 Venezuelans were looking for medicine and food in the neighboring country. Does anyone have a peaceful solution to this? Please tell me.

I'll put a Cuban cigar on it being Bolivia, Ecuador isn't really that into the whole communism thing and Cuba appears to be heading in the wrong direction (for Maduro).

Keep in mind Evo Morales is a Hugo Chavez protege...
 
Maduro should not be in the line of people? He is a "man of the people," he is socialist, right? :)

Another day in socialist utopia.

Venezuelan Government Further Disarming Citizens By Crushing Guns, Registering Ammo

As starving Venezuelans rush the Colombian border for food, hunt in the streets for cats and dogs, and break into zoos to kill horses for meat, the government continues its crackdown on dissent as socialism in the country fails. Not surprisingly, tyrannical President Nicolas Maduro has been blocking humanitarian aid from coming into the country for months and has been blaming his country's problems on the United States.

Now, police are crushing firearms in the name of crime reduction while also planning to set up an ammunition registry. From Reuters (bolding is mine):

Venezuelan police crushed and chopped up nearly 2,000 shotguns and pistols in a Caracas city square on Wednesday, as the new interior minister relaunched a long-stalled gun control campaign in one of the world's most crime-ridden countries.

Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said the event marked the renewal of efforts to disarm Venezuelans, through a combination of seizures and a voluntary program to swap guns for electrical goods.

Venezuela has the world's second highest murder rate and the street gangs that plague its poor neighborhoods have become increasingly heavily armed in recent years, at a time when a deep recession has reduced resources available to police.

President Nicolas Maduro promoted Reverol this month, days after the United States accused the former anti-drugs tsar of taking bribes from cocaine traffickers.

"We are going to bring disarmament and peace," Reverol told reporters, while police officers drilled and sawed at rusty shotguns, home made pistols and some newer weapons.
While the Venezuelan government and liberal western media will frame this move as an effort to reduce crime, it's about keeping the citizenry defenseless against the government in a time of complete societal breakdown.

The only crime that they are trying to prevent is the premature death of Maduro and his corrupt friends.

I can't see this lasting much longer. I wonder how much support Maduro has in his country.
 
Only solution is to overthrow the government who is wealthy with oil money while its people starve. Frickin hypocrisy seeing how Hugo was praised as a leader and savior of the people when they steal and live like kings while the country starves. But the U.S. or capitalists or whoever is to blame.... crime would drop 1000% if people could go buy bread without waiting in line for 8 hours.
