Chavistas violently attack Capriles. Capriles gets a boat. Thousands show to hear him speak.

This has been posted already but there is important back story behind the violent actions of the fascist Chavistas that the post misses. In particular it lacks the imagery of the violent actors and their thuggish behavior.

It is well known that the Chavistas have a strategy to provoke violence at campaign events.

Note: "provocar situaciones de agitacion politica"

Basically: "Provoke situations that agitate politically."

This is not the first time this has happened as they did it in La Vega a few months ago.

Below is video of the attacks in Puerto Cabello, clearly showing Chavistas throwing rocks at Capriles supporters and attacking them with mob violence:

They then went on to torch a campaign truck:



Then they looted another campaign truck that had sound equipment with large speakers and stuff (no doubt to sabotage Capriles' chance to speak to the people of Puerto Cabello):



They then attack an AFP reporter and stole his camera to get rid of the evidence (of course in the information age with high cell phone penetration this is a joke):



Of course, does this stop the great Capriles? Maybe it should have. I know if I was campaigning and I was violently attacked by violent forces I would fear for the organizers who were supporting me and would at the minimum tell my supporters to come again another day. Particularly when the National Guard was doing nothing about the situation.

But no. It doesn't stop Capriles. Not this time. Not like La Vega. Capriles dons a small boat and arrives at the port in the best way you can arrive at a port:



Thousands fill the streets:



Capriles, a great man, gives his speech despite the Chavista violence:



The Chavistas are getting desperate. They can't handle that Capriles brings out such crowds every where he goes. That he has visited well over 230 cities (30 in the past two weeks).

If Capriles can continue getting around violent Chavista blockades he will succeed in winning over more and more Venezuelans. The Chavista's are running scared.

2. I wouldn't be surprised to see Capriles

assassinated before election time.

4. Neither would I, when he does this:

These night showings are really disconcerting, but the people want it and he delivers. (This was tonight in Anzoategui, not even two hours ago.)

3. I guess the way around a solid election system

Is to screw with the inputs into said election system i.e. use violence and Fonden money to skew the voters going into the election.

5. Yep, it is really hard to cheat at the polls.

While I can't say that CNE is perfect at a civil level it is indisputable that the polls are damn fucking near impossible to game. So they are forced to think of alternative ways to suppress the vote (see the recent moving of the Miami consulate to a far off spot).
