THIS IS NOT REAL (none / 0)

This is not mentioned in the LA Times nor can I find anything about it anywhere on the net.  It is really irresponsible to post this without checking it out first.  

We all need to be careful or we will lose all credibility.  

I recommend removing this from the site.

did you even watch the video? (none / 0)

Single images can be faked fairly easily. Minutes of video cannot. Some large light-armored vehicle, with a big ass gun in front, was in fact there and captured by the camera.

As far as removing it for credibility's sake... um, you are aware of the nature of blogs and the internet, right?

I don't get any response from the link. Does anyone else?

Note that the video, judging from the URL, was uploaded to "indy media" so even if its there, we're not sure where it came from.

mirror (none / 0)

Looks like their servers are getting flooded. Here's a mirror for the time being.

Since it's 6.8MB, and .Mac has a daily bandwidth cap, I would appreciate it if we kept this local to MyDD. If you want to pass the link around, please grab it and mirror it yourself, or start a torrent.

Yes...I did watch the video.  Anything can be faked with the technology we have today - also this could have been staged etc.  Let's face it - someone would have put this in the news, somewhere, don't ya think?  

As for your inference that blogs, this blog, can be used to intentionlally spread lies or phony materials is, at the very least, disappointing.  

There's a place for that in the land of Jerry Fallwell & Pat Robertson...go for it!

Re: THIS IS NOT REAL (3.00 / 1)

If this is faked, we gotta find the people who did it and get them working on, say, Rick Santorum and a live boy or Joe Scarborough and a dead girl.  Oh, the possibilities!  The mind boggles.

Re: THIS IS NOT REAL (none / 0)

I think it's pretty sad that so many people's first reaction is to claim this didn't happen. Here is an eyewitness account:

I suppose you'll tell me Bob Morris is lying about it happening.

I wouldn't exactly call the Times a bastion of great reporting.  Besides they are owned by the Tribune Company, as pro bush a company as their is.
