I'm trying to dig up all this "evidence" they have on this guy but I'll await the VenezuelaAnalysis piece to see what's up.

What I thought was crazy is that Capriles is personally calling for protest. 2002 coup all over again? If Maduro starts shooting people...

6k dead Venezuelans so far this year...
