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.
I don't know Spanish worth a damn. Its a long clip, and I, with some trepidation, forwarded it to near the end.
Fuckers shot him.
This is capitalism. This is our fucking continent, which has had a state under popular revolt for months. This is covered how much? By you, if you have a blog? By me? This is the PAN, this is the PRI. These are the parties of accomodation; the struggle by APPO for dignity, control of their lives, and power; these are the corpses that litter streets in grimy third-world towns all over the world.
To Brad. Mourn the dead, and fight like hell for the living.
Update: Two others were killed that day; Esteban Zurrita and Emilio Alonso Fabian. They also died because the State refuses to share power with the people.
