These are pictures of the pro-Chavez crowd at yesterday’s march which ended with one death and 29 injured. Look at the crowd (Count the guns!) and then I ask two questions:
1) For those amateurs sociologists that like to explain the crisis in Venezuela in terms of rich vs. poor, black vs. white, the pictures suggest it might actually be more men vs. women. Is this just a “macho” revolution? Where are the pro-Chavez women? Taking care of the kids at home?
2) A second explanation might be that they are paid thugs and that is what the Chavez “revolution” has been reduced to, paid thugs injuring and killing the peaceful opposition, which by the way (look at all the photos in the Pictures section) is composed of both men and women and I would say there are more women than men.
What’s your choice of the two?
