Mob justice in Venezuela

The trumpanze's who think it was so horrible in this country for the last 8 years should pay attention. Fuckin clueless as to how bad it could get . And bannon and company have stated that is what they want to drive this government over the cliff.

President Death & Destruction loves this stuff.

The more turmoil in the world, the more this brainless wonder feels a if he can maximize his profits from his illegal investments and distract from his own corruption investigations.

>>>I hadn't intended this thread to have anything to do with contemporary politics in the U.S.

^This is the biggest bunch of bullshit I have ever heard.

As soon as I saw this thread I said..... 'The liberals and the left and Obama and Hillary must be to blame'.

It took all of 2 seconds for you to confirm your agenda.

Go play outside Thom.  Your bullshit message sucks ass

The story attached to the gnarly photo indicates it is a mob burning a robber.  Vigilante justice with little to do with politics. 

It is true the country is going to hell in a hand basket and there are daily street battles between protesters and forces loyal to embattled president Maduro, but it is falling world oil prices, and not Maduro's or his predecessor, Hugo Chávez', political leanings, that have given rise to the shit show that is spiraling out of control.    Mass protest movements in developing countries are generally driven by day to day necessity, not broader debates over global politics, let alone American internal politics.  As Bob Marley said "a hungry man is an angry man." 

Thom, chumming the waters with rabbit blood is still chumming the waters.

You didn't intend...

Yeah, right!

> As recent events have shown, it's the left that is fomenting violence in this country these days.<<

you are insane.

^Thom is not insane, he just ignores facts which conflict with his world view.

I always hear Thom's posts in the voice of Mitch McConnell.

Don't forget seasoned veteran of psychedelic drug research from experience and Dead to the Core...

Also, his compassionate community outreach skills are not be fucked with or questioned (Period)

thom is another delusional asshat, as evidenced by that post

Chances of Thom posting again in this thread?

0%

don't forget, liberals are fascists... 

So Thom, based on the content of your last post, you were absolutely making a political commentary in your first post.

I think that we can all agree that "pure" anything doesn't work, whether communism or capitalism. What's your point? Have you personally been legislated out of existence?

Thom, that Mencken quote aptly describes Trump supporters. Believing Trump's diotic promises, denying​ facts, screaming "Fake news"...Yep, describes them to a T

There are opinions and then there are lies. 

And just for shits and giggles -  the courts and prison systems in the US are doing just fine.  Context. 

I'm holding out  for Mob Justice in the Netherlands. 

>>>> think that we can all agree that "pure" anything doesn't work, whether communism or capitalism

Yep.  Latin America is no stranger to crime, corruption, civil unrest, and mob violence, but horrible things have happened down there under both socialist leaning governments and conservative, pro-private business regimes (e.g. Somoza v. Sandanista).   In fact, one of the most politically stable and crime free places in the region over the past half century has been Cuba.  So if the OP was trying to suggest socialist policies leads to mob rule and vigilante justice, the point needs to be supported by a more in depth analysis of how specific socialist leaning policies of the Maduro and Chavez governments have lead to the current crises and why similar unrest has not occurred in other areas with similar policies such as in Bolivia under Evo Morales and why the food and other shortages inspiring the current unrest would not have happened under a pro-US, pro-free enterprise government.
