Middle east.

After hearing all of the craziness going on down there, I'm starting to stop caring what happens. It's only going to get worse.

yeah so?

the only reason why they might care that a foreigner is there is so they can kidnap them.

What did they expect? They were hanging around with terrorists. The army had to shoot the terrorists, but the reporters were in the wrong place in the wrong time. Should have stayed away from both parties.

Hey another thread where everybody jumps on the "muslims are responsible for 9/11 as a whole so i'm going to say the most ignorant and infuriating thing i can think of" bandwagon. Seriously shut the hell up, whether or not untrained civilian militia shot a journalist, on purpose or by accident is not the point. The point is she was shot, focus on the sad part not who shot her.

No one mentioned 9/11 or even muslims. Your post was the first to contain those words.

So basically you're saying we should mourn tragedies, and then refuse to dispense justice or prevent a recurrence?

[QUOTE=just-a-boy;37632928]What does knocking journalists achieve for the side doing the knocking? Doesn't it just amplify the message? I mean it's not as if everything the journalist does simply disappears when they're killed...[/QUOTE]

It's been used since WWII. The Allies would normally apprehend German war journalists, whilst the Wehrmacht would often apprehend Allied war journalists. The Waffen SS would often target the war journalist first, alongside the unarmed medics, and liberated civilians.
