Bustamante-Ramirez said the two men’s remarks and questions were intimidating, and the video was posted two days later on the Web site YouTube, on which users can post self-made videos. As of Thursday afternoon, nearly 1,400 people had viewed at least part of the video, which is nearly seven minutes long.”
