The mayor of Caracas has been filmed getting into a short brawl with fans at an international soccer tournament, and has proposed to deal with rampant crime by floating blimps with crime-detecting cameras in the sky. Venezuela has never been wanting for weirdness; even so, August was a stellar month...
