Snipers

I was watching the docu "The Revolution will not be Televised" recommended a year ago by MLQ3 about the failed coup plot to oust Chavez.

There was a scene in the docu about snipers shooting at the crowds and rallyistas of pro- and anti-chavez demonstrators.

NARRATOR: We moved back into the heart of the Chavez crowds when all of a sudden the firing started.

[sirens]

NARRATOR: We couldn't tell where the shots were coming from, but people were being hit in the head.

[gunshots]

NARRATOR: Soon it became clear that we were being shot at by snipers. One in four Venezuelans carry hand guns and soon some of the Chavez supporters began to shoot back in the direction the sniper fire seemed to be coming from.

I recall the admin was caught using snipers too at the height of the Gloriagate protest rallies during 2005. Buti na lang hindi ginamit.
