A leading candidate in Sunday's assembly elections and an opposition activist have been killed in Venezuela.
The killings took place before voting started to elect a new assembly with powers to rewrite the constitution.
The opposition says it is a power grab by President Nicolás Maduro and is boycotting the vote.
The government says the constituent assembly is the only way to bring peace back to the country after months of violent protests.
José Felix Pineda, a 39-year-old lawyer running in the election, was shot in his home on Saturday night local time, a senior Venezuelan minister said.
Ricardo Campos, a youth secretary with the opposition Acción Democrática party, was shot dead during a protest, the head of the national assembly said.
I'm not saying it was the US but... >It was the US Anyways, lets talk about the weather and stuff? Anybody else feeling sleepy?

Did they ever catch the helicopter guys lobbing grenades on city hall?
Anti-air fortifications aside, think it's time for a second go around the administration block and a few elite high rises.

you go around wishing death to people who disagree with you and call yourself a "hippie"? Really makes me think
Brayden Rodriguez
Everyone deserves a chance at life until hey don't. Socialists and commies wish to bring mass starvation, chaos and even death upon others.
You reap what you sow

I dont get it. Why venezuelans are so upset? Isnt socialism the greatest thing after mcdonalds and the apple company according to most americans who voted Hillary?
Nathan Allen
Nice flag, I'm taking it
Jacob Howard
This is the vote where he dissolves the legislature and creates one that is completely appointed by him. This is fucking hilarious watching leftists defend this. All they can do is autistically screech about the CIA and Trump. Defend this lefties, please. I need a laugh.
> >Ok-ish rundown. Not sure I buy the whole "MUD is controlled opposition" although I do think they are falling for the trap of attacking the leader without a clear alternative vision. They do have, Capriles is their moderate option. The hole protest scheme is the best moment for him to appear as the reasonable leader. >Again, I think the UNO Coalition in Nicaragua is a model to look at. A hodgepodge of different political parties unified against a common enemy but are ultimately useless once that enemy is gone. >Nicaragua Lol, that shithole is becoming the sockpuppet of china in LA. Try hard commie

Why would we kill someone who was going to end communism in Venezuela?
Sebastian Hall
Is this going to end with commies falling from helicopters?

>right wing hippies Only to troll idiots into raging at them over nothing.
Leo Sullivan
Not even worth nuking. That's how worthless Shitzuela is. Let them tear their shithole to shreds.
Let's just hope Le Ebin Drumpf doesn't get involved in this horseshit, but let's be realistic here...he probably will.
Ayden Wilson
Why are politics better then any TV serries?Woman should stop watching sex in city and go into politics.
I can't tell what side either one is. Who are the capitalists in Venezuela? It seems like it's one group of commies against another group of commies, they're just fighting about who gets to do the commie leading.

what fucking nonsense are you even talking about you dumb nigger? go back to cripplechan
Joseph Roberts
its not a civil war because the gov is the only one with guns, its genocide. once we start fighting back you can call it a civil war. today 2 got killed where i live, some 16 yearold kid and some old guy that wasnt even on the protests, he was just standing on his balcony, and he was on the gov side, karma
What do you think genuine hippies wish for the fathers of industrialization for example? How about oil drillers and deforesters?
Lincoln Rogers
So a bunch of socialists stormed into the house of a socialist and killed him to keep another brand of socialist in power. Got it.
Enjoy continuing to eat out of trash cans and taking vacations to other countries to buy toilet paper to bring back home, Venezuela, you worked hard for all that socialism and "free stuff."
Brody Morgan
Brazil has a much bigger military and better prepared army, of course venezuelan army would be toppled by them.
Luis Howard
All lies. I have personal friends in caracas and nothing is going down. Literally foreign media hyping shit up more than needed. Gotta get those venezuelan oil fields, amirite?
