Letting an ambassador sit in an extremely dangerous city without sending more protection (which he wanted) is manslaughter

According to you, yes. According to the US legal system, it's nowhere near manslaughter

"Heyman, a journalist with Public News Service, repeatedly asked the secretary whether domestic violence would be considered a preexisting condition under the Republican bill to overhaul the nation’s health care system, he said.

“He didn’t say anything,” Heyman said later in a news conference. “So I persisted.”

Then, an officer in the capitol pulled him aside, handcuffed him and arrested him. Heyman was jailed on the charge of willful disruption of state government processes and was released later on $5,000 bail."

In response to his exclusive reporting on North Korea, the Obama administration secretly named Rosen a “co-conspirator” in violation of the Espionage Act. The ensuing national controversy led the Justice Department to reform its guidelines for the handling of national security investigations involving journalists. Similarly, Rosen's reporting on Iran's nuclear program prompted procedural reforms at the State Department, after he disclosed that Obama administration officials had excised eight minutes of Rosen's questioning on the subject from the department's official video of one of its press briefings.

What was the point of posting this? Everyone's well aware bullying journalists is nothing new, still doesn't change the fact that it's stuff.

To answer my own question, it was a dumb "Gotcha!" snark meant to make Poliwhirl look like an idiot. That was the point of posting it.

Is this just a knee-jerk reaction? When you read people's posts, are you thinking to yourself how could you make them look more stupid?

it was because the way he phrased it he made it sound like this was somehow a unique case of journalists getting unnecessarily forgeted and that was practically insinuating that it was because of Annoying Orange's recent actions toward the media

so I made the case that that sentiment was factually wrong

BTW I haven't seen any of the evidence/footage yet but I highly doubt the guy was arrested just for asking a question, there has to be an element of rudeness or he would have had to have done something bad in tandem with asking the question in order to be arrested for the reason he was, that's just what I judging from what I've seen though so don't quote me on that

also consider that such a thing as "paparazzi" and absolutely no one likes them
