  1. Once again MSDNC gets the Baghdad Bob Reporter of the Year award.

    Sheesh.

  2. To my knowledge they haven't put themselves out in the streets with the mob. Velshi was clearly in the middle of a riot and calling it "mostly peaceful" doesn't change that fact. Reporters get shot all the time in combat zones. The left has decided to turn the streets into combat zones so it should come as no surprise to anyone that people will be assaulted and possibly shot by any number of those out in the thick of it. He wants to put himself in harm's way then whatever happens is on him, as it is for everyone else out there who doesn't have to be there. The only innocents are the property owners who are simply trying to defend against the mob.

    The police who shot the reporter with a rubber bullet were mostly peaceful.

  4. That’s because they don’t report protests. They fabricate narratives from the comfort of their echo chambers.

  5. A Trump supporting cop shot him. Are you really going to defend or minimize encroaching authoritarianism? Is that who you have become?

  6. And what would he have been doing for the cop to warrant shooting him? Are you too stupid to be embarrassed by the direction your country is going in the hands of your idiot preside?

  7. Are you claiming the cop specifically targeted him? If so, and there is evidence of that, then it should be investigated. Since there is no evidence of that the activist "reporter" was simply embedded among the violent mob and was hit randomly. Again, those volunteers going into a combat zone should expect to be in the line of fire.

  8. Does it actually matter whether he was specifically targeted? “Random” rubber bullets shot into a crowd are okay? Are you reading your own posts?!

  9. Yes, it absolutely matters if he was specifically targeted. That is the difference between an illegal act and what is lawful riot control, a riot which he knowingly was in the middle of.

  10. Lawful riot control is shooting “random” rubber bullets into a crowd? To the glee of Dear Leader?
