They're immature little pissants, too. There was a neighborhood memorial to Bassil da Costa, one of the students who was killed a while ago, and those little shits firebombed it.

I guess it could be said that colectivos are known for organization, organizing the murders of those that have the gall to protest the injustices in Venezuela, and those that just happen to get in their way.
