2 VZ colectivos shot in back by Maduro's forces to instigate armed siege in Perez raid

Maduro sacrifices 2 of his men to simulate Óscar Pérez massacre showdown

(translated from Spanish)

Before firing the rocket launcher at the picturesque villa, and also before breaking through the rubble to kill the survivors of the outbreak, Venezuelan soldiers and police had let Chavez paramilitaries pass through to shoot down the insurgent group, led by the police Venezuelan Óscar Pérez.

Except that the house they entered was the wrong house, and that those who ended up being executed were the leaders of the paramilitary gang who were to serve as executioners.

Two members of the paramilitary gang known as the Tres Raíces Collective died during the assault operation that shook Venezuela on Monday when it was broadcast in real time by Pérez himself through social networks.

But the two Chavistas were killed by other men of the Nicolás Maduro regime, in an attempt to instigate a confrontation that justified the deaths of Pérez and his group, police sources said.

"The shots went in the back. They [the members of the collective] were walking towards the house where they had been told that Óscar Pérez was there, but they did not even know where the group of special actions ended up shooting at them," said a Venezuelan police source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

So, Maduro set up two of his Red Shirts (colectivos) to die, so that they could justify using deadly force on Óscar Pérez. Life is cheap in ChavistaLand.
