That's indeed pathetic to count the dead.
While last time it was a ratio of 1/10, this time it's about 50/50 (first 4 victims are equally split between chavistas & opposition).
Maduro was elected, that's Democracy.
Things are turning berzerk, not only because of such a "Socialist" dream, but also because a strong part of the opposition (a tiny minority owning a lot of things) does not accept the results of the vote and will try to stir up trouble.
It's clearly a populist regim, deliquency is at record highs indeed, economy is a mess... but the guy was elected (the opposition did not win the municipal elections a few weeks ago = chavistas won on the national level).
Good BBC article about the oppositor who got jailed -> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-26238612
What has done the neoliberalism in favor of Education, Health, etc. when it was in power? Opposition needs to be credible first.
