Minutemen Unvarnished
February 14th, 2008
In the spirit of letting some outrages speak for themselves, check out the videos on a website sponsored by the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation's (CRLAF) Border Project, which monitors day labor sites in San Diego County. They have turned their cameras on Minutemen protesting at day labor sites - our favorite is the one in which members of the Minutemen act as bullies to protest the Catholic Church's position on immigration.
In this video, Mike Spencer, cofounder of the San Diego Minutemen, erects an effigy of a priest wearing a devil's mask in front of a Catholic Church. Meanwhile, a First Communion Mass is taking place inside. Another Minuteman carries a sign that says, "Jail the Pope."
If you live in a state without the daily diet of protesters harassing day laborers, take a look. Here you can see what passes for acceptable behavior among the Minutemen vigilantes who harass and threaten workers they perceive to be illegal immigrants. Thank you to CRLAF for videotaping and posting an unvarnished view of this hate group.
