More photo proof that Maduro is augmenting his "National Guard" with colectivo thugs
Note lack of boots and GNB motorcycle.
The GNB (Bolivarian National Guard) are the Maduro's "Brown Shirts", who are recruited from the dregs of society and given a badge, a uniform and a gun. They are not sworn to protect the people of Venezuela, but to protect the Bolivarian Revolution. Typically, these uniforms come complete with boots and official GNB motorcycles.
Colectivos, on the other hand, have no such luxury of badges and uniforms. But they are given guns, motorcycles and a nice monthly stipend. These are el defensores de chavismo, whose sole purpose is to do the dirty work that the GNB (or the PNB) cannot be seen doing. These thugs are recruited from the local jails, prisons and youth detention programs, and when they are not harassing local women or threatening non-Chavistas, they are kidnapping anyone who they think they can shake down and extorting businesses. Maduro has taken to supplementing his Brown Shirts with colectivos as things spiral downward. (Maduro dismisses this as imperialist propaganda.)
