He tried to push through a crowd/mob.. did he really expect them to make a guided path for him and his crew.. it also appeared as if those who he claimed "forced him and his crew to leave" were just trying to help him get out..

I seen worse crowds at Walmart on black Friday..

I'm sorta at loss for words.. uneventful?

FOX said Greg Pelkot and his cameraman were beat up and hospitalized. Not sure how bad but Foreign media people are being beat in these riots.

I am not trying to defend lawlessness or the beatings..

but common sense would you tell not to take a stroll in a riot,..

and that after 7 days of bashing a brutal regime, it might be downright dangerous to take a stroll in a riot started by them,

I have worked/ stood guard and manned a hose at several anti war rallies and I guarantee you that walking through that peace loving crowd in uniform would have been suicide..

mobs (zealot protesters) are nasty and I have little sympathy or support for them.. but I really question why reporters often lack any common sense.. really what did they expect?

with that said, I pray that they are all get out safely and that no real harm comes to any of them.. (other then bruised egos), as no matter how little regard I have for the media they are human beings and do not deserve to be beaten.. no one does...
