Lawmakers Rumble in Venezuela

(Caracas, Venezuela) On Thursday, Hugo Chavez supporters brawled with opposition lawmakers during a session of the Venezuelan National Assembly.



Once the fight started, nationwide broadcast of National Assembly proceedings was abruptly halted.

“In the face of the opposition violence in the AN (assembly) we found ourselves obliged to go off the air. The people ask for discussion, not more fighting,” Communications Minister Andres Izarra said on Twitter.

Heh, just when it got interesting.
