this is embarrassing

But not at all surprising. Almost every time I've seen anyone take a camera into a protest and talk to the people protesting they almost always sound like idiots

In this one a Mexican took a video camera to a protest against illegal aliens.

Its pretty easy for people to make themselves look like idiots without them having to try hard.

I think they all look like idiots...the mexian showing up with the camera is like strapping 2 handguns to yourself and going to a job interview, the ones protesting likely haven't spent 1 minute writing or phoning their state senators.

Going to that protest was a bit ballsy, but I wouldn't call the Mexican an idiot. I didn't listen to the whole thing, but nothing that I saw or heard indicated that he was illegal. He could have been a US citizen.

What was worst to me was the way the people assumed so much and were so quick to resort to name calling and physical or verbal threats. It definitely, to me, made the protesters look like the biggest idiots.

In general, I think the average public is stupid, but I suppose everyone has their place in the world.
