*Motorcycle riding "antisocials" are called "colectivos", gun toting Chavista thugs who are paid to do the dirty work of Maduro and the PSUV. Instead of shaking down businesses and Venezuelan pedestrians, they have taken to robbing anyone who they think has hard currency, since Maduro used to pay them in now worthless Bolivars.
Venezuela has the highest violent crime rate in the western hemisphere, and the highest murder rate per capita on the planet.
Viva Chavez!
