Venezuela got its latest look at "21st Century Socialism". They ran or were shot.
VIDEO of Protester being shot in Venezuela from Sky News.
People in Venezuela took to the streets to protest the Chavez government's steady march to turn the country into a private club for Chavez and cronies. They were shot by masked gunmen. Does anyone doubt who arranged this? Does anyone doubt that this is only the beginning of an attempt to turn back the clock on democracy in Venezuela?
A report on the carnage in Venezuela from
More on the Chavez reaction to the protesters from AP and CNN: Photographers for The Associated Press saw at least four gunmen -- their faces covered by ski masks or T-shirts -- firing handguns at the anti-Chavez crowd. Terrified students ran through the campus as ambulances arrived.
National Guard troops gathered outside the Central University of Venezuela, the nation's largest and a center for opposition to Chavez's government. Venezuelan law bars state security forces from entering the campus, but Luis Acuna, the minister of higher education, said they could be called in if the university requests them.

The people in Venezuela have taken to the streets in protest over the Chavez government's steady chaining of the country's freedoms. Political opponents are jailed, shot or just disappear. TV stations and newspapers shut down. Companies assets seized by the government.

Another Columbine-style attack is planned; this time it's short-circuited before anyone dies. The justification: ridding the world of bullies. When firing a rocket launcher at innocent students doesn't qualify you as a "bully". The look into a 14-year-old's confused mind from the Philadelphia Daily News?
DILLON COSSEY apparently wanted to rid the world of bullies.How far down the road of teen vigilante justice have we come that this is no longer national news? It is another sad chapter in a sad book.
And he had a plan to do so, according to his confession to police:
Back up a car to Plymouth Whitemarsh High School and dump out a stockpile of weapons; barricade school doors using chains and padlocks so students couldn't get out; then fire a rocket launcher.
The chilling details of Cossey's blueprint for carrying out a Columbine-style attack emerged yesterday as the 14-year-old entered a guilty plea in Montgomery County juvenile court.
Cossey pleaded guilty to solicitation to commit murder, risking a catastrophe and possessing an instrument of a crime. He faces a maximum sentence of seven years in jail. Because he was charged as a juvenile, Cossey cannot be held in custody beyond age 21.
