The man was a PARLIAMENTARIAN, not a paramilitarian!

My goodness!

Great article, by the way, even using "google translate":


~snip~
For a year and 11 months Congressman Robert Serra was number 120, between the corners of the Nazarene and San Fernando in La Pastora. The old house painted cream and red, with wooden doors and platabanda, was the scene of frequent political meetings parliamentary performing. He shared the house with his father Robert Serra and his three assistants: Maria Herrera, and sisters Jessica and Rosalba Contreras.

"It was a sociable and kind man. Always greeted and shared with people when the mercals organized in the block above. I was passing by with his bodyguards on motorcycles and sometimes stopped to talk, "says a neighbor of the Nativity block.

On Wednesday night the first of October, Deputy Robert Serra arrived home shortly before 7:00 pm, escorted by two of his four bodyguards (GNB had two and two Policaracas). At 7:30 pm decided to dispatch his guards and stayed in the house with Mary Herrera. "I always dismissed them after a while if wounded had no activity," said his father, who at 6:00 pm last had contact with his son. "I wrote a message saying that tonight was not going to sleep at home because I would be working in the area of ​​Charallave message. He received but not answered me, "Serra who is sales supervisor said.

It is presumed that after 8:00 pm, unknown persons entered the residence without forcing any parliamentary lock. "This did not feel anything. I just heard the dog barking around 8:30 pm. And a while later, around 9:00 pm, we heard the screams of the girl who got them. Decided to leave and she was lying on the door crying, "said one of the residents of the house next door, who declined to give his name.

"That was Jessica Contreras. She always comes home from college at about that time. She made him work release and photos to my son and lives here with his sister Rosalba "said Father Serra.

Before the cries of the young, the son of a neighbor who lives several houses down, I see a suspicious movement in the house of Serra. "At the entrance were stationed and lit two white high-powered motorcycles and the door of the house was open," said the woman, who was visited yesterday by officials Cicpc. Another neighbor, whose identity can not be revealed for security reasons, remained in forensic declaring until noon Thursday.

Minister of Home Affairs, Justice and Peace, Miguel Rodriguez Torres, said in a press conference that the murder of Deputy Serra "obeyed a macabre parcel. We are witnessing a murder, planned and executed with great precision. According to the evidence obtained was a planned murder, organized to detail and with great technique. "

Unofficial versions six people allegedly involved in the assassination of MP Serra. In the place were seen two men dressed completely in white, similar to those used by practitioners of Santeria outfits. The killers would have taken over an M-16, an AR-15 rifle and three pistols. They used a vehicle and two motorcycles.

Inhabitants of the area were talking about what happened and expressing dismay and rejection. "He was a good boy. Quiet. Always brought gifts to my grandchildren and other children around here. It was a very collaborative person who helped everybody, "Reina Gonzalez said tearfully. With her business did blacksmithing and plumbing parliamentarian's residence.

A man about 50 years old watched police move sitting on a motorcycle, said he was from January 23 where the murdered deputy had done significant work with the groups. "I have many friends here in Black First and La Pastora there are also collective," he said. In 2010, Robert Serra was supported by 13 groups in 23 de Enero in his congressional campaign.

The Attorney General of the Republic, Luisa Ortega Díaz appointed Juan Carlos Tabares, deputy director of criminal offenses, and tax 36 Johana Pena to direct investigations. Congressman Robert Serra is veiled in chapel on Thursday afternoon at the headquarters of the National Assembly.

When Aristobulus met Robert

"I can not ... I do not think what is happening ... I'm having a terrible pain ..." he said between pauses and deep breaths Robert Serra, father of slain deputy.

Standing behind the bars of the house her son bought in November 2012, the afflicted man very kindly answered some questions. "He was a great son. It had no brakes, he would continue to come, "he said, recalling that the parliamentary always said he had the opportunity he would become president.

Serra's father stands between the virtues of his son that the boy had managed to "get his political and social work in the most radical part of the January 23. He was coming I facilitate. He liked to help the poor and children. "

Born out of Venezuela's urban guerrilla warfare in the 1960s, "Colectivos" re-emerged under late President Hugo Chavez as ideological henchmen. According to Reuters, the socialist paramilitary groups run community services, including bookstores, summer camps and pensioner coffee mornings. But they have recently been blamed for the spike in violence.

5. Who blames them for the spike in violence? The US taxpayer-supported opposition murderous maggots,
Sat Oct 4, 2014, 04:47 AM
Oct 2014

same guys who have always resorted to the soulless "Guarimba" like the last ones in which they strung wires across the road in order to decapitate motorcycle riders from the pro-government areas.

There's no real confusion about which people perpetrate the atrocities. Same right-winger monsters who have done the very same thing all over the Americas. They all have the same hatred of the poor, the masses, they all intend to keep their countries under the control of the filthy right-wing oligarchs and will, and do hideous damage to the leftists everywhere in the Americas to return Hell to the "throne" in each country.

Since they get heavy financing from unknowing US taxpayers, who have no say in it, only get tapped for financing perverts, they have even more incentives to wreak havoc and suffering than just to indulge their filthy racism, and ignorant belief only those of European descent are allowed to rule in the Americas.

Serra, Santana paramilitary wanted for murder, and a national guard guy posing for a pic.




Who could blame them for the spike in violence (a 15 year spike by the way)?

Las Piedritas will be victorious with some of their supporters including Jesus.
