The people "crashed into the barricades" because they were shot by the colectivos.

People have been shot in the streets more recently than that--if you go to the Anonymous VZ feeds, they even take pictures of the "asesinos" and put them up. Frequently they're ID'd by people who know them and disapprove of their conduct.

Any time you see a "motorcycle driver" killed or wounded, that's not some schmuck on his way home, that is a colectivo--they are armed, they're paid by the government to shoot people and disrupt peaceful demonstrations with violence, and they are assholes. That "thug on a bike" paradigm is common in Iran, too, AhmadiNejad probably taught it to Chavez way back when.

A saying in VZ these days is "The only refrigerators that are full are at the morgue."
