Probably those pesky kids asking for money again....

I say this without malice, but as a humanist, and an American:

Someday, guys like that are going to actually have to face off with people who have equivalent armament and logistical support.

And it's not going to be very fucking funny or fun...when that comes to pass.

"Sickem Fido"

Did no one notice the guy screaming "cease fire" for the last thirty seconds of the video?

I don't think anyone found this video to be funny. Quite serious, in fact.

"Did no one notice the guy screaming "cease fire" for the last thirty seconds of the video?"

Probably a function of sustained fire damaging your hearing. Without hearing protection, firing live ammunition immediately causes a sharp ring in your ears coupled with slight pain, like a pin-prick but sustained over time. With each additional round fired the pain and ringing increase. The only sustained fire I've been around has involved blank ammunition, which is no where near as loud as live, but I have to imagine that after a 10-15 minute firefight your hearing must be absolutely shot.

I recall being on the M-16 qual range and realizing to my horror that I had forgotten to insert my earplugs when I fired the first shot. Since targets are continuously popping up, and whether or not I qualified on the weapon depended on me hitting each one of them, I had to wait until the first 20 round magazine was expended before inserting ear plugs. At the end of that my hearing was pretty well shot, almost as badly as coming out of a rock concert, and bothered me for the next few days. I have to imagine that a sustained fire fight must leave you in a near deaf state, and unable to immediately hear commands.
