Is the cargo door on this airplane really malfunctioning? Recently, I saw that video:

In general, this guy's videos seem to me more like a "conspiracy theories" thing, but I hadn't the time to study them and find the underlying faulty logic. So, in that particular video, he claims that the cargo door of an aircraft wasn't working properly and the ground staff simply decided to use a heavy load on the lever in order to open it (or something like that).

Because of that incident the plane shouldn't be allowed to fly (that's what he claims) and also there is immediate safety concern for the people on the ground because of the weight they used.

My questions are:


Is the cargo door in that airplane really malfunctioning?
Do the ground staff follow a standard procedure for the "workaround"?
Although I understand that the way the weight is "hanged" on the that
lever is not a safe solution, my logic says that it could never fall 
from that position. Am I right?
It appears as though the locking handle for the door has some sort of switch in it to allow for full extension of the door only if the locking handle is pulled full forward and, for whatever reason, the door handle won't move into this fully extended detent on its own.  While the workaround is jury rigged at best, it doesn't seem to pose a flight safety issue unless the door can't be locked when fully closed.  It's just another video from an ignoramus in the terminal with a cellphone camera.
