Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has died

memories

Chavez calls Bush "The Devil". UN Applauds (Sept '06)

Guess the recent post wasn't one for the HOAX bin. Just goes to show, some valid threads get derailed over there.

R.I.P ... for real this time

In my opinion Mr. President Chavez was a great man who will be missed.
The world needs more revolutionary people like him.

¡Viva la Revolución!

As far as dictators go he was a wild one. Like all world leaders some will call him a hero and others will call him a murderer. It`s the price you have to pay to become the all powerful leader.

You're absolutely right.

We can just speculate and make our opinions according to what we "think" know.
Who knows what really goes on behind the curtains ?

But like I said, "in my opinion" he was a great man who achieved great things for his people(the poor ones anyway).

This is kinda sad behavior


Journalist and his cameraman was attacked by Chavez followers in Venezuela. Colombian Journalist from RCN news ( Colombian channel) was attacked when they were reporting in front of the hospital where Hugo Chavez died. The people started to yell at the Colombian journalist for them to leave and they started to beat them up, the cameraman recorded everything while they ran, the journalist woman was bleeding and asking for the police, some people were trying to help them. Apparently the gun shots heard at the end are from the police trying to disperse the riot . some Chavez followers dont like Colombian media because they believe that the colombian media is of the right wing and biased. (something like fox in US. NTN24, RCN and FOX channels are allies.)
