Was he a Japanese documentary maker?
his films have been translated into many languages ...Ergo, concordantly, certain individual propagandists have vested interests in flaunting their racism to minipulate the public, so when the hoax is disclosed it becomes discredited from further accumulated consumption ...

The worst example was a loony-tune Apollo astronaut who made death threats to Bart Sibrel, for merely claiming that it was a hoax.
as there is a vid of this incident - its not a good idea to lie about it - it just makes you look a bigger idiot
Verbal "threats" are extreme?
The whole point is Mitchell considered this was a very serious problem, and he went to very extreme measures to try and resolve the problem.
Court documents show he was arrested after another driver refused to pull out of a parking space he wanted. She was waiting for her car engine to warm up.
The arresting officer wrote, “A few moments later, the parking space in front of the victim opened up and [Sibrel] drove into it and parked.”
Sibrel “then walked up to the victim’s car and jumped onto the hood, and then jumped up and down several times.”
The report says he caused about $1,431.33 in damage.

So he didn't actually get a gun and shoot anyone? It wasn't just something to encourage an unwanted guest to GTFO then?

Here's how bad at lying convicted criminal Bart Sibrel is. After he is ordered to leave (and the reason he gets threatened and gets his ass kicked is because he doesn't do it) you get some text on the screen saying that the camera had been "accidentally left on". When Mitchell makes his statement convicted criminal thug Sibrel says quite clearly that he has a video camera running".
So which is it? Did he deliberately leave the camera running in the hope that he would get some more footage without the consent of the participants (who had clearly got annoyed at being called liars) or didn't he?

It's really very simple, Sibrel lied to get in to Mitchell's house, he called him a liar and called his friends liars. Anyone who did that in my house would get the same, and any normal person would react in the same way.

He was trying to intimidate Sibrel, into not releasing his footage to the public. Just like most honest people will often issue death threats, in order to suppress their interviews.
How do you consider it relevant to know if he did or did not leave the camera running on purpose? The camera was left on, and he knew it was on. As for the text, I think it was added on by someone else, and I also think it did not mention the camera, it said Mitchell still had his microphone attached to him.
Not that any of this even matters to the actual issue, though.
Mitchell was paid by Sibrel for that interview, first of all.
Sibrel told Mitchell, like he told all of the Apollo astronauts, he wanted to interview them about their Apollo missions, and what was it like for them to land on the moon, etc. A genuine Apollo, in other words.
This was a complete lie, of course. He wanted to discuss Apollo as a hoax, and wanted to show them his proof of the hoax.
Do you think he would ever get a single astronaut to accept an interview if he told them it would be a discussion on how Apollo was hoaxed?? Are you kidding?!?
The only way he could ever have gotten these astronauts to accept an interview, to get in the door, is to tell them a lie, and that's the only reason he did it.
None of the astronauts will never, ever, accept any interview about Apollo being a hoax.
But they will gladly talk about the official version of Apollo, if you are willing and able to pay them handsomely. And, of course, you must also pay it in full, up front, before will shall grant you the supreme honor - of being in the presence of such greatness. As long as they are talking about themselves being heroic astronauts, and are paid to say it, they'll talk about it all day1

That's exactly what Mitchell and his son did, in fact.
Are you kidding? It is not even close to making a death threat, in any way.
It is stupid behavior, yes, but it is not an extreme. This kind of stupid thing happens all the time, at bars, and concerts, at campus parties, and so on. I've seen it many times before, my own brother used to love jumping up and down on cars when he got totally loaded, at bars. I've seen a few of my stupid school friends do it, and a whole lot worse too.
It is a common thing, for many people seem to want to act stupid, especially in their teens and early 20's

Where does he say that? Is right after he tries to get him off his property, only I must have missed the part where he says "don't you dare release this footage to the publiuc".
originally posted by: onebigmonkey
It's relevant because Sibrel lies about it. He claims in the subtitle that it was accidentally left on, but clearly states that he has a camera running. Sibrel is a liar.
originally posted by: onebigmonkey
Nope. Sibrel claimed he was doing a program for Japanese schoolchildren about Apollo. This was a lie to gain access to astronaut's private homes.

Because it is not a hoax.

what you are not understanding is the difference between a threat and actual actions carried out..
originally posted by: choos
also the difference between your brother and Bart Sibrel was that Bart was jumping up and down on a car out of anger and not to mention he was 45 years old.. not some teen acting stupid..
originally posted by: choos
and there you go, you just proved to yourself that Bart Sibrel entered private property under false pretenses.. and when asked to leave, refused.
that makes him a trespasser.. some trespassers are not as lucky as Bart Sibrel and often do get shot in America.

I do understand it.
I also understand why Mitchell would be making a death threat..
You do not understand it, clearly.
The act itself is common, not extreme. And it is also done by 45 year olds, who are angry about something, which is also stupid. Anyway, the point is that you can't even compare it to making a death threat
He was invited into his house, and he left his house later on.
Trespassing is entering a home unlawfully, without being invited to enter a home, and sometimes in crimes committed on a property.
Now you know he was not a trespasser...
I cannot believe you are actually trying to justify a death threat!

You don't stay in my house if I ask you to leave or if you do be leaving with the coroner to the morgue.
