A few days ago MILLIONS marched in protest of the government in Caracas and the tear gas came out.

There was a good attempt to cause a panic and have people jump or fall to their deaths by the government.

And here in the U.S.   Mayday is only a week away, and it just keeps getting more violent every year. I predict this year will top them all.

Reminds me of Papa Doc Duvalier's Tonton Macoutes.
