While our attentions are laser focused on the illegal occupation of Ukraine by the chest-pounding Vladimir Putin and the less-than-tepid response to that invasion by the we-don’t-want-to-offend-you Obama Administration, along with the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight 370, the ongoing protests in Venezuela continue. Sadly, they have gone mostly unreported by our myopic, Socialism-embracing mainstream media.

The past several days have seen a number of disturbing events transpire:

• Yesterday, Venezuelan citizens fought over access to a milk truck, a staple that is in severely limited supply.

• Protesters retook Altamira Square in Caracas over the weekend, after having been removed more than a dozen times. The Venezuelan National Guard responded with water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets. They are now considering implementing rocket launchers.
