It wouldn't surprise me if this is a big move by Maduro to try and break the protesters.TheReal_ND wrote:

Oscar Perez, a CICPC (their FBI) inspector is supposedly behind this. Earlier he flew around in a helicopter with a banner proclaiming "Articulo 350", an article in the Venezuelan constitution that says the people have a right to rebel against/ignore a government that ignores them:

Apparently someone stole a helicopter and was lobbing hand grenades at their Supreme Court from it. Can't make this shit up. Also heard it was a military officer.

Oscar Perez, steps out front as the face for a potential coup against Maduro
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/he ... a8539e2138The helicopter circled over the building housing the supreme court, which has backed Maduro’s efforts to block early elections and to change the constitution. The communications minister said that the helicopter dropped four grenades and that three exploded.
Venezuelan news reports identified the pilot as Oscar Perez, a member of military special forces, citing his posts to social media. The reports note that Perez has acting experience, having produced and starred in a Venezuelan film, “Death Suspended.” Wearing a uniform and reading from notes, he spoke into a video camera about the “criminal government” as four masked men with guns stood behind him. Describing his group as a nonpartisan alliance of military, police and civilian officials, Perez said that their fight was not against the rest of the security forces.

Re: Venezuela news
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/th ... c978fb94d6Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans lined up across the country and in expatriate communities around the world Sunday to vote in a symbolic rejection of President Nicolas Maduro’s plan to rewrite the constitution, a proposal that’s raising tensions in a nation battered by shortages and anti-government protests.
A 61-year-old woman was killed and four people wounded in shooting that erupted after government supporters on motorcycles swarmed an opposition polling site in a church in the traditionally pro-government Catia neighborhood of western Caracas.

A leading candidate in Sunday's assembly elections and an opposition activist have been killed in Venezuela.
The killings took place before voting started to elect a new assembly with powers to rewrite the constitution.
The opposition says it is a power grab by President Nicolás Maduro and is boycotting the vote.
The government says the constituent assembly is the only way to bring peace back to the country after months of violent protests.
José Felix Pineda, a 39-year-old lawyer running in the election, was shot in his home on Saturday night local time, a senior Venezuelan minister said.
Ricardo Campos, a youth secretary with the opposition Acción Democrática party, was shot dead during a protest, the head of the national assembly said.
