The video, filmed with night-vision equipment and low in quality, is not always easy to understand. Here is a detailed description:

The footage starts by showing a single figure wearing a backpack sneaking along a rugged desert trail. A male voice, off-camera, says: “I got him. He’s low crawling. Guy with a backpack. I betcha it’s probably full of dope.”
. . .

At this point in the video, the backpack-wearing figure begins to slowly emerge from behind the rock outcropping. “You know what? I’m going to take a fucking shot,” the first voice says. There are two flashes of light and the sound of two semi-automatic rifle shots in quick succession. The figure wearing the backpack appears to fly backward and drop from view.

“Oh fuck, I got him dude!’ the first voice says. “I fuckin’ got him!” There is a pause, then the first voice says, “Dude, what are we gonna do?” The voice on the walkie-talkie replies, “Get the shovel, get some lime, and hey, grab me a 12-pack, too, while you’re up there.”

“Roger that,” the first voice answers between chortles. “We fuckin’ nailed him, dude! We fuckin’ nailed him!” That’s where the video ends.

1. Hard to tell anything from it.

I wouldn't assume it's authentic or place blame on anyone unless a body is found/person is missing.

2. Here's another video of the Minutemen, showing them ransacking a migrant camp

3. Hmmmm

I think this video is fake. Its purpose?/?? To spread the word and SCARE THE SHIT out of anyone who thinks they can cross the border illegally.
Things will only get worse and before long they really will be shot/killed. Suggestions would be get more border patrol agents or the national guard down there (if they ever come home) to keep things from boiling over.

4. Agreed, real lawmen will displace the MinuteMen

That's why they are there and that is what they are asking the US Gov to do. Protect the border.

I've been a contributer to the Minutemen for years. Any reference to them doing anything other than observing the border and calling the law on illegals crossing the border is in error. People that make fictitious videos to associate the MinuteMen with illegal activity are much more sinister. The MinuteMen are no more a violent vigilante group than we at DU are terrorists.

The illegals feed the new money rich with cheap labor. You know the ones with enough money to buy a $2M house but not enough money to pay an American to cut the grass.
