Seige of the El Hatillo Restaurant

Today in the Venezuelan Opposition Civil Insurrection, two persons and their families eating a quiet dinner. Apparently someone find out about their get-together and call their "educated" friends to pot-bang and insult them and people who want to eat. It really begs the question: Where's the police when you need them. Oh wait, they don't want to.

The video republished below is a scene that happened on Friday night in the middle – upper middle class municipality of El Hatillo in the east of Caracas.

The name of the restaurant in question is Hajillos and the Venezuelan actors Roque Valero and Jorge Reyes were enjoying what they thought would be a quiet meal with family and friends.

The local “citizens” arrived who do not agree with Valero’s or Reyes’ socialist politics and started to intimidate and harass them with a cacophony of pot banging. The “citizens” gradually transformed themselves into a fascist mob of about 100 people. 

 The mob trapped them inside and Valero had the courage to come to the door to speak with them. He asked them what they wanted? What he had done? There was silence as there is no answer to justify this type of irrational behavior.

Here is the actual video in question:


The real question why would they bother a bunch of people eating in peace? I'll give you the real answer: They hate anyone who supports or even sympathies with the Socialist government. Even apolitical Venezuelans in middle-class or upper-class can be perceived as socialist if they opposed to the guarimbas that has been ongoing since Feburary 12. And why do they act like this: Years of propaganda and yellow journalism against the socialist government by the three major television station: Globovision, Venevision, and Televen. It's not working in the Western Caracas, but middle and upper classes in Caracas in Eastern Caracas are eating it up like hotcakes. Blindly following the media without question.

And again, where were the police? Most of the guarimbas are in opposition strong holds, and in these same opposition strongholds police simply do nothing to stop them. These are the same areas where opposition governors and mayors refuse fold their police forces into the recently created National Police. They just take the lazy way out and let the National Guard take care of the mess.
