Alleged minuteman murder video: it’s a fake

Casey Sanchez from Southern Poverty Law Center reports the surfacing of a video that appears to depict a murder of an illegal immigrant.

Important Update: After I added a link to it on the Minuteman wikipedia page, I notice that my edit was removed (along with an entire section containing criticism of the group). Later: they restored it, and I had to rewrite to acknowledge that it was fake.

Important Update #2 Minuteman confirms that a member made the video, but it was certainly fake –intended as a heavy-handed political message.

I’ll keep an eye on this post, but isn’t it odd how instead of the 1984 nightmare scenario where Big Brother rewrites history, all of us have the power to write history any way we please?
