CAMPO, Calif. -- One Minuteman leader accused a rival Minuteman leader of videotaping the shooting of an illegal immigrant, but sheriff's deputies investigating the report Saturday said the video was fake, as did the maker of the video.Robert "Little Dog" Crooks, leader of the Campo Minutemen, said he and his friends did shoot the video and sheriff's deputies came out to see what happened, but they know him well."Who in their right mind is going to shoot a smuggler, videotape it, then post it to YouTube?" Crooks said.

"Recent media reports have inaccurately stated that Robert L Crooks is associated with the Campo Minutemen. This is not true. Campo Minutemen is a California Non Profit Corporation. I am the director. Mr Crooks has NO part of our Organization."

The Campo Minutemen have worked in close proximity with Robert L Crooks for two years.

We consider Mr. Crooks to be a "Lone Wacko." We have a strict policy, than anyone who assists with Little Dog is not welcome in our group.

The Campo Minutemen operates with an SOP and does not tolerate irresponsible discharge of firearms.

Across the border there are human smugglers and drug dealers. Across the border there is an orphanage whose children come to the border fence to play with our dogs and shyly ask questions of the "pirate." ( Our member who has an eye patch, and speaks Spanish) Across the border is a rancher who rides over and does rope tricks for us and talks to us of the smugglers who cross his property and injure his animals. He worries about his sons who are friendly with the smugglers.

We are not protesting the Mexican people. We are on the border as act of protest against the United States Government.

The Campo Minutemen have picked up thousands of pounds of trash in our Adopt A Highway program. We have assisted a female border crosser who traumatically amputated a finger as she climbed over the fence. We have gone to the site where every Border Patrol Agent has died in the line of duty since the Reagan amnesty and performed a Flag Ceremony to remember their sacrifice. We have watched, observed and reported hundreds of illegal border crossers.

The Campo Minutemen are ordinary Americans from all walks of life, self funded, giving of their time to do the job The United States Government refuses to do.

The idea of that guy being the “leader” of anything is a bad joke. One more blot in the Democrat Media’s copybook.

May God Bless all of you and keep you safe while you're doing what many of us would like to do if we could.

It is unfathomable to me how a member of the House of Representatives from California (Jane Harman) can consistently vote in favor of illegal immigration, but she does. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer are also guilty of the same anti-American votes in favor of the invaders.

Those who pretend to be representing us are not, they are representing slave labor corporations, and the payoffs to sell their country out must be huge. This is DISGUSTING, and these sellouts must be retired from public office, all of them, they're in every state.

Hmm, interesting how the MSM promoted this Crooks guy from “lone wacko who is not even a member of the Campo Minutemen,” to “LEADER of the Campo Minutemen.”

Lone Wacko sounds like the guy my sons told me about 7 or 8 years ago. I bet he’s one and the same. I just wish you guys could get some tape of the illegals attempting murder of our agents. It’ll come because the illegals are getting more aggressive and murderous all the time. Keep safe, patriots. G-d bless and preserve this honorable republic....S

Yes, the job our very own leaders are unwilling to do......

We really don't need a tape. We already have a string of dead American citizens from Portland, Oregon to New Jersey.

This had all the earmarkings of an attempt to smear the Minutemen, not that this is anything new.

I would hope that if this guy was sincerely trying to charge the minutemen with murder, that he will be arrested and held for a considerable length of time.

Well said. I’ve never seen you post. Must have just missed you somehow. You are very good at making your point in a few words...your profile page describes my own thoughts to a “T”.

Glad I finally caught up with you. :-)

But the details and tactics are obviously changing - challenging us to either adapt or give up while opposition resorts to ever more desperate measures and the stakes keep getting higher. Just a thank-you for hanging in there.
