The Mother of a Venezuelan friend of mine, who lives here in Amsterdam, was attacked and robbed the day before those three people died in the protest.
She was coming from work, she's a doctor in a hospital, when three guys on motorbikes assaulted her and beat her up.
They almost broke her leg and hit her with a machine gun in the ribs and broke some.
He wants to go there to visit his Mother but she tells him not to go or he'll probably won't come back from there.
He doesn't know what to do and is very anxious about all this.
He feels impotent and despaired.
In the middle of this he has to keep on going with his life with all what's happening in mind.
I can't imagine being under such pressure and have such thoughts in my head.
I visited him two days ago at work and he was totally immersed in searching in the internet someone who could tell him anything directly from there.
He told me Twitter had been "shut down" the other day and independent news sources were having difficulties to put anything out.
He also told me that the day any of the kids from the slums gets hit and dies then the drug lords and everybody in these hoods would come down on the protests and then there would be nasty shit going on.
The day people feel that their lives aren't worth anything they'll stop respecting life and then it'll be chaos.- :( so intense and scary. good wishes for your friend.sea_sea
