Venezuela: Unruly protesters will be prosecuted
 Advertisements [?]Source: AP

Venezuela's top prosecutor said Friday she will ask that criminal charges be brought against unruly demonstrators, accusing opposition protesters of trying to "destabilize" President Hugo Chavez's government.

Anti-government groups are looking for "any reason to create chaos," Attorney General Luisa Ortega said.

In recent weeks, sporadic protests have erupted in Venezuela's capital over a controversial education law that critics warn could lead to political indoctrination in schools as a way to strengthen support for Chavez's leftist policies.

Ortega dismissed the protesters' complaints and warned that demonstrators who disturb "tranquility and the public peace" could be charged with "civil rebellion" — a crime punishable with up to 24 years in prison.

4. You mean like herding them into "freedom" zones, running police horses and
 motor scooters into them, and then locking them up for days in a warehouse on a pier on the Hudson river?
Oh wait, that was here in NYC during the republican national convention!
Wake up!

Then a lengthy rant of stupid.

15. "Leftist" the ****ing media-never a concern about "rightist" do you ever see that word - DU robots!

Right-wing fascist who have controlled Latin American countries for years keeping the people down, peasants & slaves where a tiny minority own 95% of the land and the people have no means for education those are the regimes the US has been supporting for years, American corporation capitalizing on these poor countries resources, agriculture, cheap labor even tourism for huge profits and pay no taxes but fees to the wealthy land owners....

Are these dictators ever call "rightist" are they ever scrutinized for every law they choose to create for control & profit...."Leftist' what a bunch of bullshit...obviously no government in the world is perfect and can never be....but for every one thing the media and the capitalist swine criticize Chavez for - I can name two or three things that Chavez and socialism have helped his own people as well as other Latin American countries, that never before were possible under American "Rightis" fascist dictators.

Why do you think Chavez is so despised by the republicans the corporations, the IMF, etc.......Chavez has helped other Latin American countries to get out of their control & debt not to mention Venezuela huge oil reserves....and the idiots play right into the republican "rightist" hand and support these ****ers with every corporate media and AP propaganda piece of shit item....

Yes, Chavez is a socialist so are many who want health care for all in this country and we see how the corporations AP and the media, the "rightist" come up with lie after lie and distortions & smear jobs about taking that avenue of incredible profit away from a few...one can just imagine why they want Chavez gone when he can influence a whole region, a continent that the rich and corporations have been soaking dry and controlling for hundreds of years while keeping the people poor dumb & slaves....and these clowns on DU who trash Chavez and the socialist movement are no different than the dumb uninformed uneducated teabaggers, the bithers, town hall disruptors who believe the bullshit they hear & read in their local AP newspapers stories...These are the exact same ****ers these people here at DU are believing about Chavez...

These are the same propaganda outlets that these lazy people get their opinion about Chavez from, usually they are progressive people about most things, but eat this international shit up about Chavez, never ever going more in depth or searching out the facts for themselves other than the usual AP or Fox news headline stories about Chavez, then they unbelievably pontificate the same bullshit as if they know everything including the constant subversive attacks, undermining and the usual CIA type of mole operations.

Create unrest in a socialist country, get the American people believing the bullshit stories like AP (CIA - INF) put out and then have the American people's support to use military to go in and topple the socialism for "America, patriotism" and for corporations wealth & control!

Who doesn't think these republican right-wing ****s don't want Chavez and his influence out of the region and will do anything to accomplish that by trying to change public opinion...No these idiots believe the same right-wing republicans & corporate powers that are oppressing them each day, here in this country instead.....****, they should just watch Fox news and be done with their indoctrinations and join the teabaggers because they already are half way there.

The one thing the corporate republicans, "Rightist are great at, that they are truly incredible at, is smear tactics - trashing their enemies character..... First, people begin to have doubts, than blindly start trashing the person in question themselves and finally are convinced that the one in question is exactly what the profiteers said they are and they keep the ball rolling for these corporate republican capitalist lying ****s....Objective: Discredit the nonconformist to their profit motive through character assassination....Hate-Lies-Greed The republican way!

With some nob slobbing.

75. I couldn't have written it better...
 
or nearly as well!

Since those you so correctly lambaste don't read the articles which the thread is about, I don't believe they are going to read your fabulous post.

They believe that they know everything they need to know.

Thanks for adding all of that passion to the discussion

Then someone tries to inject some common sense.  But don't worry, EFerrari won't let that happen.

47. Protesting isn't a felony here as it is in Cuba, Venusuela.

52. There's a big difference
 between feeling a baton and harsh language and 24 years in a literal shit-hole Latin American prison. Anybody that spend more than a couple a days in the clink for disturbing the peace (protesting) is a political prisoner. This law gives Hugo another mechanism to hold political prisoners.

54. There are no protesters serving 24 years in Venezuela.
 There is nothing there that can even compare with the way we kidnap, abuse and torture prisoners. There are no Leonard Peltiers in Venezuela, either.

So, you're right. There is a big difference. Our human rights violations are much, much worse than anything happening in Ven.

Whole lotta stupid going on over there.

BTW DJ, are you surprised by their responses? They're useful idiots. They're the reason this country has been taken over.

A little reminder to the primitives:  Remember how you read just a few weeks ago about your cult leader BHO giving money to Brazil to drill for oil?  Aside from the politics of him giving money for them to do what we should be doing off our own coasts, when those wells start producing, just what current oil producing South American country starting with the letter "V" do you imagine is going to get cut off at the knees?  Hmmmmmmmm.........
