Venezuelan Helicopter Pilot Who Rebelled Against Dictatorship Livestreamed Raid that Killed Him
By: Sabrina Martín - @SabrinaMartinR - Jan 16, 2018, 8:24 am

The icon of the Venezuelan opposition and pilot Óscar Perez became famous after hijacking a helicopter last year, flying over the capital of Caracas and disappearing into the mountains. Seven months later, Nicolás Maduro’s regime found where he was hiding.

This Monday, January 15, Pérez posted videos saying that he was negotiating his surrender because he was surrounded by officials. Then, minutes later, he appeared on a live stream, visibly wounded and claiming the regime wanted to kill him.

During the raid, the regime not only militarized the entire area but also cut off press access. After hours of shooting, unofficial information emerged that Pérez had been captured and killed.

It sounds like they largely caught this killing of Oscar Perez, the hero policeman/helicopter pilot, so some are already saying it was just a cold blooded murder by the state. That's not clear. I guess, for the record, we can't forget our Ruby Ridge and Waco compound.

Note the timeline.... captured... and 'then' killed.  So very telling and typical of commie regimes.  Exactly how the radical left in the US would operate, if they could get away with it (we're armed).
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.
