"As you might have guessed from my liberal use of scare quotes, almost
all of the information in this video is fake. There is no outraged
pro-oil activist named Brent Williamson—the man in the video is an actor
named Roberto Bricchi (stage name: Robert Angelo), a 26-year-old
registered Libertarian who lives in Chapel Hill, NC."

Good journalism.  Via Martin D. and Kerry Amburgy-Dickson.
