(2,035 posts)It's very disturbing to see, actually. They believe they know what's going on in a country more than people who are actually from there or speak the native language and have at least some experience being there. Never in my life have I met such a cynical group of people.

"Daniela Flores, Counselor at the Catholic University of Tachira (UCat) affirmed that the young man was not engaged in demonstrating and, at the moment of his murder was fleeing the area and trying to protect himself from the shooting when, presumably, the rider on the motorcycle of a member of the Bolivarian National Police (PNB) shot at a group trying to hide themselves in a house".
Daniela Flores, consejera universitaria de la Universidad Católica del Táchira (Ucat), constató que el joven no se encontraba manifestando, y que al momento del asesinato se encontraba huyendo de la zona e intentando resguardarse de la balacera, cuando presuntamente el acompañante en la moto de un funcionario de la Policía Nacional Bolivariana (PNB) disparó al grupo que intentaba resguardarse en una casa.

Really lays out the brutality and senselesness of this murder. The idiot policeman shot into a group of kids whose only crime was running away from the trouble and trying to get out of the line of fire in a house.
