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...
