Seeing some very poorly recorded footage out of Venezuela purported to be citizens revolting against the obvious fraudulent vote and are shooting up police stations and government offices.
Footage has shown relatively new-looking AKs that appear to be recently produced by the plant Chavez had the Russians build about a year before he died. Thus indicating that these rebels have received armaments from someone sympathetic in the armed forces. Reports also indicate that these first armed groups are actually local criminal gangs, but not acting for any larcenous purpose. If the local reports on the ground are to be believed, they are acting altruistically and patriotically,...but are more used to the ways of violence and have simply decided the time for peaceful politics is over.
This is very limited at the moment. No indication it will grow. But neither any indication it won't. Lots of Maduro statues and billboards being torn down all over the place by angry mobs.
This could get spicy.
Here is just one example.
