  • What was his purpose being there? What was his accomplishment? or attempted accomplishment?

  • Great guy, great journalist, I read his story today. Thanks for telling us the truth,. your death is not forgotten by free people

  • He was shot from behind by the very same people he was supporting. He received a second shot while he was carried away by his ""compañeros". No one else was "shot to dead" that day as this video claims.

  • That explains the wound to his abdomen, right?

    Two others were killed in the violence that day, Esteban Zurita López, and Emilio Alonso Fabián. I see rocks, sticks, and fireworks in the protestors hands, but no guns. Why you're defending MURDERERS, I have no idea.

    Here's an idea: Don't pull info out of your ass.

  • Explain the two bullet wounds. Explain how the shot sounds so close to the cameraman. Explain how no one else is shot at that same moment. Provide evidence of how Maestros Zurita and Fabian died the same day by the same paramilitares.

  • What is this all about? Why all the fightin?

  • he's in the middle of it because he accepted the possiblity he may have to die for his desire to document. most people can't wrap their heads around this concept - even some trained soldiers. once you accept the possibility your objectives become much more attainable without the stain of human on you.

  • LE GENTE! UNIDA! JAMAS SERA VENCIDA!

    REVOLUTION.

    WE NEED IT NOW.

    DEATH TO THE COCA-COLA DRINKERS. DEATH TO THE CORPORATIONS THAT EXPLOIT. TAX THE RICH AND TAKE BACK THE LAND FOR THE PEOPLE.

    This land is my home. I cannot stand by and watch while its people are raped by U.S. interests.

    PARA MI PUEBLO en NORTEAMERICA: YA BASTA! PICK UP YOUR HEADS; OPEN YOUR EYES. THE U.S., IS DESTROYING OUR OLD HOME. MEXICANS! FIGHT ON THE SIDE OF RIGHT!

    SI ZAPATA VIVIERA CON NOSOTROS ANDUVIERA!!

    5:50 Que no te dije güey que no estes tomando las caras.... ( Didn't I tell you dude not to film the faces ... (seems that the guy is complaining again to brad because he was recording the faces of the crowd, i could not understand all the sentence because of the noise )

  • Fuck off. He was a man doing his job. At what point did he take a side? He was getting good footage of an important event, and he was killed in cold blood. Anyone who says it was his own fault is a complete moron.

  • HOW IS IT NOT!!!he should have left he didnt need to be right in the middle of the shooting and he could have just gotten on a roof or somthing.he got killed cause he didnt leave when he should have.

  • Yes, he didn't have to be there. But he wanted to document an important event, like I said, and in doing that he was murdered. Did any of the protesters have guns? No.

  • You're right...he should have left and we all should keep ignoring the fucked up things going on in the world around us! *sarcasm* Because it's helping so much already. Thank you for adding to the already over populated amount of morons living in the world today.

  • cant they post better subtitles than incomprehensible?

  • are you retarded?thats why they say that.they cant say what wa being said cause they cant pick it all out.come on dude

  • dont call me retarded, a-hole, if i could speak spanish, i would probably be able to pick up something other than "incomprehensible", so no, you come on.

  • Do you not have the brain cells to understand the meaning of "incomprehensible"? Pick up a dictionary.

  • thanks for the tip douche bag

  • I'm curious about Brad Will's objectivity. He seems more like an activist rather than a journalist. If he had publicly aligned himself with so-called radicals, then of course he would be a target. My point?  Journalists, real journalists at least, are supposed to be completely objective when working, merely documenting what they see, from both sides if possible. This guy seems more like a cadre cameraman for the rebels. Risky choice he made.

  • he was an activist and a journalist. Real journalism is supposed to be unbiased but i cannot seriously think of one news agency in the world which is not biased in some way...especially in america. the only one i can actually think of is the BBC (dosnt use the word terrorist) but besides that...? he was just documenting what he saw and got killed for it. R.I.P. peace!

  • so you think he should be on the side with the guns? thats not always the best choice, but perhaps the safest. In this scenario, it didn't look like he could walk up to the other side and ask for an interview, if see what I'm getting at.

  • Not sure what his footage did any good for if you hang out with a violent mob it's not news just thrill seeking which you accept can kill you. Feel sorry for his family he did not consider risks that caused them pain now.

  • How do you know that?

  • I just read the excellent 'Rolling Stone' article too. I admire non-violent principled people like Brad. We need more like him. He is a modern day hero! His family should be proud. R.I.P. Brad.

  • Rest in Peace, Brad. You will always be remembered.

  • rip .. brad

  • Its a very sad video, but it is important to remember revolution is alive...

  • I cried the whole time, this is really hard to watch after reading the rolling stone article.

  • that was a sad article hey? i just read it yesterday.

  • i only read part of it today.. it had been ripped out of a rolling stone and i found it in the break room at work. so i read 2 pages but he sounded like an intersting guy.

  • A true selfless brave soul and one kick ass anarchist/journalist of our times. I hope many recognise what he did for the world, many join the fight for true freedom, and many use this incident to unite and empower all who feel the same.. Read Jeff Sharlets arcticle in Rolling Stone if you want more detailed info on his life. Do it!

  • Like KinkyCatawampus said, if you want to know of this guys battles with all the governments wrongdoings, the article is really lifting. Long live Brad Will.

  • Read this guys story in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Tru Indymedia, true seeker of revolution.

  • The Indymedia people are a bunch of anarcho-liberals. So was Brad Will. No organization with this ideology has ever overthrown capitalism, but the best anarchists (eg Victor Serge et al) did indeed join the Bolshevik party and its October revolution. Brad Will was a brave journalist and his murder by the capitalist police is an outrage.

  • their bullets can't pierce an idea

    their money can't send us away

    one road block shall make us stronger

    the next page starts with you today

    R.I.P. Brad

  • this is the saddest thing i have ever seen,

    i barely can watch it.

  • Read the article about him in the January 2008 issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

  • Chilling and terrible

    :/

    shows just how terrible government can be all over the world

  • Viva Brad, viva oaxaca

  • Seriously.

  • Ulises Ruiz fuck you mother .......Holy bitch

  • You can hear a warning to Brad Before the shooting that killed him, the bullet came from inside in spanish you hear "Ya te dije wey, que no estés tomando que no entiendes pinche wey"

    wich means "I told you not to be filming, don't you understand asshole?", also the autopsy says that brad had 2 shots, so, somebody shot him later.

    I know we have problems in Oaxaca but the APPO is not the answer.

  • they also blew up the shot of his camera just frames before he was shot and saw an unidentified man on a rooftop with a carbine...possibly what killed brad

  • Of course the police didn't want him filming, most governments who are doing despicable things don't want to be filmed. If anything it made him more admirable that the camera made him a target yet he still filmed

  • 'Chokas', are you Greek? Just curious because we have family friends (had, actually... the passed away) with the surname Chokas on the East Coast.

  • Not I'm Mexican and i live in Oaxaca, that's why i can tell you things were f***ed up here..

  • This video is very eerie.

  • ya paso un ano y te extrano brad quiero que vamos por ahi en las callles de buenos aires a comer naranjas como antes, yo sigo la lucha

    vos presente ahora y simpre

    besos tanuza
