Former CNN journalist Don Lemon arrested in connection with Minnesota protest
abcnews.go.comThe murderers are in the equivalent of witness protection and they're arresting journalists. Not a good look.
I wonder if the US population understands that the entire world now knows the US is under a fascist regime and is cutting ties as fast as possible. The economic repercussions of this regime will be felt for years to come. Look at the USD/EUR or USD/CAD exchange rates over the last year.
edit: thanks for the downvotes. I know political comments are frowned upon on HN and that is fine. I tried to be factual but my tone was probably off.
This is not HN material.
It’s nice to see laws enforced. Unfortunate that it has become such a controversy when it happens across a growing range of law and order.
This is not surprising. America is basically engaged in a tit-for-tat.
There were several right wing journalists abducted for documenting J6:
* Steve Baker, working for Blaze Media, https://www.newsweek.com/fbi-arresting-reporter-sparks-maga-...
* Owen Shroyer, InfoWars, 2 months in prison, https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/infowars-host-owen-shr...
* multiple other independent journalists

They're using the "two wrongs make a right" theory again? Still haven't figured out that it's just double wrong?
Even worse, it's not really a tit-for-tat, it's a theater of tit-for-tat, a slow-boiling theater which habituates more and more oppression. Why wouldn't both sides use it - it gives them exactly what they want.
I feel like Americans need to not fall into a "both sides" framing of what's happening. These situations are not honestly equivalent.
It's about face, not facts. "We need to get them how they got us"

"The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable."
I mean.. he posted the videos so we can all see that this isn't the case. Journalism doesn't normally produce the chaos that they report on.
