They're at it again. Psycho Minuteman and Pirate Minuteman seem to compete for camera time
They're at it again. Psycho Minuteman and Pirate Minuteman seem to compete for camera time. They continue to bring tension and hostility to the public.
Video starts out with Psycho Minutemen rambling about Huntington Beach.
0:40 Old Minuteman guy(not the one with the bloated head know as Old Fart Minuteman) calls me a "dumb s***" a couple times, hits me with his sign, and threatens me. A lady makes him stop.
I wasn't hit that hard and didn't feel threatened so it wasn't a big deal to me.
Psycho Minuteman continues to accuse Nauia and I of "encouraging" kids to spit on him(see my Psycho Minuteman in Huntington Beach video here on my Youtube channel). Naui and I had nothing to do with it. It was a couple harmless spitwads from some kids, that's all.
3:04 Pirate Minuteman calls me a dwarf, midget, and idiot. And also whacks me with his sign. I'm on a roll today!
4:20 I do a tribute to the nice bicycle guy from the "Psycho Minuteman in Huntington Beach" video. When I say "leads to the darkside," Psycho seems to get it and reacts with humor. Probably the only bright moment in his behavior and mood today.
5:10 Pirate Minuteman and Debbie are open briefly about their distate for the Mountain Minutemen. "Shakey mental things."
6:01 Mustache Minuteman does his typical yelling at motorists in public. That will surely win them some points with the public, LOL.
6:28 Pirate Minuteman follows us across the crosswalk and pops up. He didn't seem all there, if you know what I mean, and I tried to ask him if he's okay.
7:00 Minutewoman does a nice Jeff Schwilk move and bullies Veronica into stepping back. Then the same Minutewoman calls the police LOL.
7:52 Back in the parking lot Pirate Minuteman pops up out of nowhere again LOL. He says that he likes confrontation, which is ironic because he insults a random motorist and gets into a quick physical confrontation with him.
He goes way out and compares to surfing and I seem to stump him a couple times on it. It's hard to follow what he says often, or hard for him to talk in a straight path or consistently.
9:17 Lupe Morenoh has her pepper spray ready and threatens to use it on Naui. Two of her friends talk her out of making what would be a big mistake on her part. Imagine if she went ahead and did it with three people, myself included, video taping.(Any Minuteman members video taping wouldn't have showed the video, like what happened when Naui did get attacked at another location at an earlier date.)
I have footage of Pirate Minuteman getting into a quick fight with a motorist but won't show it since it would go against Youtube guidelines. At first I was gonna email it to anyone who wants to see it. Actually I'm only emailing it to people I know, sorry. I don't want to end up sending it to any Minutemen. The Minutemen can complain all the want but I don't answer to them or take orders from them. I'm not legally bound to provide them anything, including Pirate Minuteman. The police have a copy of the footage so I'm done with that part. This footage will be provided to people I know and trust and to follow activists who also stand against the Minutemen.

Huntington Beach, CA. April 26, 2008. The Minutemen and SOS have a rally. Naui and I stand up to oppose them and document what happens on video.
Video starts with Robin blocking my camcorder with her sign.
0:57 Ray Herrera calls the police simply because I was standing there in public, LOL.
The HB police were pretty chill and better to interact with than the Garden Grove police.
1:34 Enter Psycho Minuteman!
3:55 Two police cars and four officers were there because Ray called the police on me. Not bad. Maybe I can get more in another city!
4:54 Debbie takes a picture of me with the flag of Mexico. That's fine. At least I didn't stand out in public at Laguna Beach wearing a costume poncho and sombrero like she did.
5:16 Dana Rorbacher brings two kids. They're basically toddlers, probably barely 2 years old if even that. They make the kids hold their signs, basically choosing for them. Wonder what the kids will think when they're older.
6:42 Dana Rorbacher speaks. Notice that I didn't interupt the meeting and speech like Debbie and the Mustache Minuteman interrupted and heckled a day labor gathering in Lake Forest, which I have footage of on my youtube account.

Huntington Beach, CA. April 26, 2008. The Minutemen and SOS have a rally. Naui and I stand up to oppose them and document what happens on video.
Video starts with me on the edge of the sidewalk. The Minutemen/SOS left the sidewalk edge and I went to stand there, meaning if they come back to the edge, it's fine, but if they do anything to me, they're approaching me and standing where I was already standing at before they were. It doesn't matter that they were there before I was at the beginning of the rally since it's a public area. They left the edge of the sidewalk for a while, which resets the whole approaching thing, and I went and stood there. They approached me.
0:55 As expected, they get into my close space and try to block me from being seen.
1:30 Yep, a reaction to the flag of Mexico. The lady calls it a "piece of crap."
1:43 Listen and you can hear her say to me the words "you're gonna get yours" which is pretty disturbing.
3:23 Argument with a guy I don't recall encountering or seeing before. The police never told me to stand on any side of anything.
4:05 A CCIR member calls me a "tribalist."
4:18 She states that she expects to see that in Somalia or Afghanistan. I wonder how people from those countries would feel about that. People of the world, I assure you not all Americans are like this.
5:02 She says the CCIR wants "tribalists" like me off "their soil." She didn't say anything about citizenship or immigration status or anything like that. Then some joking with the word "clan." I know she didn't mean "Klan" but it still sounded funny. If you ask me, she's not a person who represents Americans who love their country. Bold of her to say stuff like that.
7:09 Argument about pulling signs in front of the flag. I thought I may have had some footage of it happening to me first, but I don't. But it did happen to me first. I'm usually not the first to do that sort of thing. If I do, it's to counter it being done to me.
7:29 Ray Herrera speaks to they guy. The whispering sounds was me, not him LOL.

Huntington Beach, CA. April 26, 2008. The Minutemen and SOS have a rally. Naui and I stand up to oppose them and document what happens on video.
0:46 to 0:50 Notice that Naui keeps a distance from Ray Herrera. Naui does not attack people like some Minutemen/SOS may claim or accuse him of.
0:58 For some reason they change "Naui is a Minuteman!"
1:30 Vince gives Naui the middle finger LOL.
1:45 Vince promotes Youtube on camera hehehe.
2:34 Two guys argue with Vince and Ray. I bleeped out the profanity so that I don't get in deep water with Youtube staff.
4:03 Mace chant from the Minutemen/SOS to taunt Naui. Vince makes spraying gestures.
5:58 Ray Herrera states that he doesn't agree with the "mace" chant. That's cool. It was a second time the chanted "mace" but I didn't get that second time on film.
6:18 Driving up HB Blvd to head home. The Minuteman parade truck thing happens to be on the same road LOL! First there was a vehicle in front of me between the truck and I. I didn't swerve lanes or anything like that to get a better look. Eventually I got a better look. I wasn't following anyone anywhere.
7:02 Camcorder is propped in my open glove compartment to film me. I explain my reason for displaying the flag of Mexico. I did not switch my allegiance or anything like that. There isn't a long backstory to it. It's just to give the flag a bit of representation along with another viewpoint and to see how the Minutemen react to a flag other than the US flag, which is interesting and significant behavior to witness and document.

Minuteman with an eye patch.
Aren't the supposed to have a Minuteman SOP(standard operating procedure) that does not allow taunting or similar reaction with counter protesters?

These signs were not stolen by me. They were left on the sidewalk and abandoned by the Minutemen/SOS when they ended their rally in Huntington Beach, CA and left the area. Someone who works there took them as litter and put them in a trash can. I then pulled them out of the trash can.
If they want them back, they can have them back. If they want me to pay for new ones, whatever, it was worth it! No harm was done to them other than being bent a little. I wouldn't have to but I'd be okay with that. See? I'm nice.
The part with the guy saying "You clean my toilets" is from one of Naui's videos. Be sure to check out his videos.

April 23, 2008. At the location of the CCIR meeting in Garden Grove. Naui asks the Minuteman guy about spraying someone with pepper spray. Minuteman says to get the cameras out of his face even though they weren't close to him. He actually approaches me and tells me to do the same.
This Minuteman in particular isn't the one who sprayed Naui with pepper spray on another earlier day and location. Naui was asking him about the idea of that action.
This Minuteman walked and approached us. We didn't put our cameras up close to his face. It was in a public area.
I tried to ask him what he thinks about my Legalize LA shirt. SOS has protested against American Apparel for supporting undocumented workers and their Legalize LA shirts and campaign. So naturally I did the opposite and ordered a shirt.
