Brad Will, 36, a documentary filmmaker and reporter for Indymedia in New York, Bolivia and Brazil, died today of a gunshot to the chest when pro-government attackers opened fire on a barricade in the neighborhood of Santa Lucia del Camino, on the outskirts of Oaxaca, Mexico. He died with his video camera in his hands.

It sounds like it's pretty bad over there.

The Fox people stole the election and now they are shooting people.

Of course, the US government won't care about this, because free speech and truth is the enemy.

I think it should be front page news that governmental forces are shooting people over a disputed national election.

-Hoot

They are bunch of babies.

And people wonder why people immigrate from Mexico to America?

corrupt government, low wages, discrimination

I know this isn't about immigration, it just hit me as I was reading this how there is so much death and corruption there.

Of course, there is corruption here. There is death here too.

Sad story indeed. 36 years old, too young to die doing anything, but to die as a journalist trying to bring the truth, is noble, but sad.

"You keep oppressing your people, so that my corporate constituents can take advantage of your cheap wages in Mexico."

I bet Bush is happy to hear this.

Godspeed, Mr. Will.
