Journalism isn’t a crime, breaking a law is a crime.
Ask yourself and Don Lemon if Reverend Martin Luther King would lead a "Protest" March into a Church on Sunday.
I watched two lawyers break down the indictment. Sounds like everyone involved in "operation pull up" is in a lot of trouble. Watch a lawyer on you tube or talk to your lawyer if you don't believe me...
Read the first admendment!! It protects free execise of religion! He broke the FACE ACT law!! He PARTICIPATED in the disruption!! He was asked to leave by the pastor and he refused! He was involved in the planning! ALL of HIS videos prove he participated! If he had stayed outside and just asked questions as people came out, that would be journalism! THIS WAS NOT JOURNALISM!!!!!
Saying he's a journalist is like calling a marshmallow health food.
They are hiding behind the constitutional freedom of the press to get away with what was basically an attack on a church and its members. Freedom of the press, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly does not entitle "journalists" to organize a mob to trespass on private property and infringe on the contitutional rights of others to practice their religion. Nor does it give them the right to terrorize people like they did to members of that church. Moreover, Don Lemon and his posse would have NEVER done this in a Mosque. It is clear that their hatred of not just the pastor but also devout Christians and their beliefs is what drove them. If Judges don't hold them accountable it will be open season for these people who will be emboldened to trespass anywhere they choose and infringe on the rights of others.
Should have covered it from outside. Imagine it was a bank or someones home and he sat outside with the burglars and talked about what was about to happen and then broke in with them to interview the victims and telling them they are the reason they were getting robbed.
Journalists can't interrupt disturb church services either. He and anyone who invaded the church service broke the law as its written as there are no exceptions for claiming reporting.
He didn’t “just show up” to a protest and report. He accompanied the activists in a planned protest that took place inside of a church. “Guilty by association.” The bottom line is that he was morally and ethically aligned with the goal of the protest ( he admitted this in an interview post incident). Once he realized what they were doing, he should have not entered the church with them, he should have separated himself from the group. If I’m in a car with someone and I’m documenting their daily activities. They pull out a gun and then say “I’m going to this person’s house who I think is horrible to do something to them” and they then proceed to go shoot the person, I am going to be an accomplice to a crime! It is my duty to do my due diligence and inquire about where we’re going, and what’s going to happen. And I should have a reasonable suspicion that someone could get shot.
Interesting that she left out the section of the FACE Act which directly addresses protections for church goers... Honestly, our modern-day American media is incredibly spoiled and entitled. They have spent the last 20, 30 years working day and night to tear apart the constitution. You don't get to cry about "no consequences, our Constitution" after repeated violations for two decades with no consequences. We are finally waking up as a country and seeing you for what you are. Liars, frauds, two-faced, fork-tongued, and you HATE the constitution and would do anything to get rid of it entirely.
