He's aligned with the other malandros who attacked the students and stripped one of them down completely. One of them is even wearing a t-shirt with Chavez's stenciled eyes, which has become sort of like the new "Che Guevara" stencil image for Chavistas. Speaking of which, I always find it kind of ironic and sad when people actually wear Che merchandise on 'em. It's completely the opposite of what Che would've wanted them to do. Guess hardcore leftists who live in the first-world are not as educated as one might think.

They're "revolutionary hipsters," in essence. And those hipsters can be pretty doggone annoying...!

The violence is getting out of hand against the students--it's pure bullying and repression, and the world is noticing. Spain won't sell them any more anti-riot gear; they won't be getting any more tear gas from Brasil either.

He's obviously in with the collectivos.

Also, his age is telling, most of the protesters are young idiot students.
