Venezuelan Minister: Helicopter fired 15 shots at Interior Ministry, 4 grenades at Supreme Court.
A Venezuelan police helicopter strafed the Supreme Court and a government ministry on Tuesday, escalating the OPEC nation's political crisis in what President Nicolas Maduro called an attack by "terrorists" seeking a coup.
Earlier on Tuesday, Maduro warned that he and supporters would take up arms if his socialist government was violently overthrown by opponents.
"If Venezuela was plunged into chaos and violence and the Bolivarian Revolution destroyed, we would go to combat. We would never give up, and what couldn't be done with votes, we would do with arms, we would liberate the fatherland with arms," he said.
Perez said in the video he represented a coalition of military, police and civilian officials opposed to the "criminal" government, urged Maduro's resignation and called for general elections. "This fight is ... against the vile government. Against tyranny," he said.

Turns out giving the government control over everything is not a good idea.
Turns out Socialism doesn't work. Who would have thought.
Well shit, if only they had you there to tell them that.

I've got a better idea. how about we send Bernie Sanders. He seems to know A LOT about Socialism. Maybe he can bring their country back to prosperity and safety.
MAYBE HE CAN MAKE IT WORK

>The aircraft fired 15 shots at the Interior Ministry, where scores of people were at a social event, and dropped four grenades on the court, where judges were meeting, officials said.
>However, there were no reports of injuries.
Anyone else feeling this is eerily similar to what happened in Turkey about a year ago.
