Brad Will's last video subtitled

[Ravencircles]

fukkin pinko hippies!!! brad got shot in a civil war not of he's own. go back to UCLA craka'

No matter if he was a leftwing activist or whatever reason he was there, it is a crime of gigantic proportions shoot at a crowd like that or even worse at a reporter. You cannot kill with a camera, you can expose crimes and lies. We must protect people who document opression, corruption and crimes committed by authorities on all levels.

OK, c'mon people, FOCUS! This video raises the very real possibility that Brad was killed by those around him, NOT by anyone shooting into the crowd. It "exposes" that Brad's APPO buddies told him numerous times to turn his fucking camera off, and he ignored them.

Not only the authorities in Mexico have a monopoly on "crimes and lies": the APPO spent six months terrorizing Oaxaca. Thank God they've now been pushed back under the rock they crawled out from.

Horts: I must say people like you(and me for that matter) are the scum of the earth, sitting at home or in our offices doing nothing but assuring our own progress in the world. People like Brad are what the world needs, people who give their LIFE to show the world what is really happening, when media won't. He was also a fighter for the environment, which you and i don't need to care about, since it's not directly changing our lives... Yet.

Right, Honey, we all go along "assuring our own progress in the world": that's called "life". Brad Will came to Oaxaca, couldn't speak Spanish properly, got himself involved in something he couldn't begin to understand, and got himself killed.

I'll let you decide who's the "scum of the earth" but I will say, if you think Oaxaca needed Brad (or any gringo) to "show the world what was happening", you're even more clueless than you sound.

you fukkin nazi your granddad must have been gestapo or ss at auschwitch how would you feel if your son got shot holding a fukkin camera in his hand he was unarmed you fukkin hero, I dont even wish it to you, life is precious hippies dont kill, nazis do ( not talking bout manson he was cia mind control project)

[horstvonludwig]

You're right, I'd feel terrible if I had a son who grew up to be a hippie. I'd feel even worse to have a son who couldn't spell "fucking" or "Auschwitz".

[sutadi1970]

oswiencim motherfucker herr oberst, kapo cunt you shut the fuck up jew killer

[horstvonludwig]

Whoa, you blow your father with that mouth, Sutadi?

I don't think Brad Will would have approved of your non-inclusive attitudes.

Dudes, can't we all get along and hacky-sack together?

[sosbi]

OMG!! :'(

[chairoflava]

You're not too well informed, are you? He got shot in that video, and thus cannot be the person who has written the subs. And show some respect, this guy died doing important work. Mor important than you will ever get close to.

[horstvonludwig]

With the utmost respect, I must inform you that Brad Will never "worked" a day in his worthless hippie life.

[surrealoaxaca]

Brad Will did not speak enough Spanish to understand he was being told to stop filming much less to have put the subtitles on this video. The subtitles were put there by people working to free those falsly accused of shooting Brad Will.

osea que solo por no apagar la camara los sapos mataron a brad? que poca

[horstvonludwig]

Too bad Brad didn't sign up for "Intermediate Spanish" instead of "Gender Issues in Postmodern Lesbian Eskimo Poetry". Then he might have picked up the difficult imperative and subjunctive phrases here.

When the APPOs say "Órale putos" here, who are they referring to? The "paramilitaries"? Themselves? Or, more philosophically, are we all "putos" in this struggle?

Discuss.
