Round them up! Put them in jail! Take their MONEY! STAY THE COURSE!

GOD BLESS MORALES!!!!!

Killing a cop this time.

The right always gets away with murder!

Whenever I read about this sort of thing, my first instinct is similar. Hired goons acting as agents provocateurs.

They're obviously trying to provoke "chaos." This needs to be avoided. I hope that Morales can rely on the army. I also hope that there are plenty of his civilian supporters who are politically organized, and armed. This is the key point.
