I'm trapped · 5:49pm Mar 6th, 2014
My morning was ruined with protests and now I can't risk to leave my house. The view from my apartment is an blocked avenue full of armed people. The guard and the police are locking the avenue, there are even 14 armored vehicles, yes14! with tear gas launchers. I can't see well from my point of view, so I'm not sure of the cause. You can think that with that amount of police I'll be safe (I'm sure there are about a hundred people of the National Guard), but the sad reality is that they are the most dangerous here. Well, I heard shots earlier, but everything is calm for now, though the fact that they are still here is enough reason to me to be nervous.
I was planned to write today, but I can't concentrate with all that is happening now

Where are you from? From what you're saying, I'm thinking Ukraine.

No, I'm not from Ukraine. I'm from Venezuela.

...
My parents and sister are from Venezuela! I've been informed (I was born here in the U.S.,) but I didn't know that the government is going this nuts! I heard about tankettas attacking students, but not in this quantity!
*hugs* hang in there.
I wish I could offer something better than just plain moral support, but... well, just hold on.

I'm not sure what is going on, but I heard that a national guard is dead. As far as I know, everything started with a barricade that some people put on the Avenue, then a group of people tried to remove it and a confrontation began.

Thanks, your support is enough to make me feel better

Jesus... (I'm Jewish, but I like using Jesus Christ when I'm amazed.) My G-d. That's just... Holy. Shit.
Midnight, remember all those things I told you in PM, the stay indoors, stay away from doors and windows, and all that other stuff? Now is the time to use all of that.
Don't get yourself killed okay?
I don't want someone I consider a friend to get killed in a protest turned bloodbath.

Thanks, I'll try to not get killed. I'd hate to die and leave all the good
fewfriends I have.Luckily, it looks like things are starting to calm down. Though there are still lots of persons on the avenue in front of my building.
be safe! things should calm down before too long!
The world is fucking nuts. We all just have to take it in stride. Keep your head down and stay safe okay? Good luck.
Stay safe.

Thanks, I will.
1901526 well, as long as you don't die, everything will be fine.
Just stay smart and safe.
Oh god, that's scary.
Keep calm and try to keep your mind off of things. Read a book, that always helps for me. If things outside escalate, get out of there.
...Digital Hug?
Stay indoors and don't die

Why the hell do they look like the S.T.A.G. vehicles in Saints Row The Third?

Plus, what the f@$& is with the 14 armored vehicles? I was only expecting about 5 or more. The tear gas launchers sounded like it wasn't really needed though...

Well, considering that nothing bad happened in the end, I think that the 14 armored vehicles was more for intimidation.
