Video of Blackwater Contractors Driving Over Iraqi Woman

Cenk Uygur discusses a video recently released by Harper's Magazine that shows private contractors from Blackwater in Iraq hitting cars in traffic and running over a woman then fleeing the scene.

Blackwater is the mercenary firm founded as Blackwater USA in 1996 by former Navy SEAL and fundamentalist Christian Erik Prince. It received no-bid contracts from the Bush administration in Iraq, Afghanistan, and post-Katrina New Orleans. In 2009, Prince resigned as CEO. Amid scandals over misbehavior by Blackwater employees in Iraq, the company renamed itself Blackwater Worldwide in 2007, Xe Services in 2009, and Academi in 2011. Subsidiaries include Paravant LLC. nndb.com

LEAVE AMERICA YOU FUCKING BITCH! Bitch forgot to look both ways if you ask me. Isn't that crossing street 101? You bleeding heart WEAK MAN! Did you ever think she could have seen the convoy approaching and could have potentially had a suicide vest on? It is a combat zone retard! Collateral damage! You are such a sympathizer of the enemy! You might as well be a traitor! LOSER!

you have no idea about standard operating procedures when in convoy don't slow down do not stop, we right of way at all times. don't talk about war or judge what we do while in combat or in convoy you report on your YouTube news channel safely behind a computer screen. safe only cause American brothers and sisters and our NATO allies make it safe.

Those contractors don't represent Americans, idiot. A lot of them aren't even American anyway.
