His article was not accurate. What happens is Utube goes in and out on censorship. They get a protest when something goes up, ban it, then get a counter protest or check it out, and OK it again.

Even though it's been a while...........I managed to sign in, and then had to verify that I was over 18 to watch. I tried pasting the url here, but impossible. Of course, YouTube doesn't have any problem with videos of sniper attacks on US troops. Or there's one labeled, "Israeli Sniper Killing Civilians." None of those videos are restricted to adults only. youtube.com

Looks like Althouse picked up on the Monroe Brinks-Getaway in the Innertube Caper in your backyard The Lex Luthor Award for Best Caper of 2008. The voting continues until January 7th, but this looks like the winner: In September, a robber disguised as a gardener pepper-sprayed an armored car driver using a pesticide sprayer and ran off with a bag stuffed with $400,000 in cash. When police arrived seconds later, they found the sidewalk crowded with dozens of men decked out in the same attire as the perp: blue shirt, Day-Glo vest, safety mask and glasses. While the cops hacked through a forest of suspects, the real perp fled to a nearby creek and escaped in a waiting inner tube. Turns out the unwitting decoys had been lured to the crime scene by a Craigslist ad that promised construction work to those showing up in a "yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask … and, if possible, a blue shirt." A month later, following a lead from a homeless man who witnessed the preparation for the Brinks job, police arrested 28-year-old Anthony Curcio fresh from a Las Vegas vacation. Curcio is now charged with "Interference with commerce by threats or violence," because "Pulling the most awesome robbery ever" isn't listed in the U.S. code. If possible, a blue shirt.... Isn't that "if possible" the detail that made it seem legit? althouse.blogspot.com
