Fellow Reporters Heartlessly Mock Lara Logan After Assault | Strollerderby

Reporter Lara Logan was in Tahrir Square with her ''60 Minutes'' news team when Mubarak's announcement broke. Then, in a rush of frenzied excitement, some Egyptian protesters apparently consummated their newfound independence by sexually assaulting the blonde reporter:

What scum.

Apparently carolyncastiglia has no clue what "Heartlessly mocking" is because using the word "consummated" is not mocking.

Technically, no, it's accurate. But the connotations of using that specific word could be considered somewhat pejorative.

It could be but I don't find the evidence presented overly convincing.

Is this mocking?

Most shockingly, though, Nir Rosen, a fellow at NYU (whose fellowship will hopefully be terminated by the time many of you read this in the morning) continually bashed Logan all over his Twitter feed, saying she “had to outdo anderson” by getting raped, adding, “sometimes we have to find humor in the small things.”

Is this mocking?

Yes, and ceartainly in bad taste.

This is why victims of sexual assault don't like to talk about it. This isn't about journalism, it's about our own society being overall disgusting when it comes to women and sexual assault.

Ok this was a terrible thing, but...she was ejected from the country once. Don't you think it might be unwise to right back? I don't know.....I mean nobody should ever be raped, but sometimes I think these reporters have more ambition than brains. I wasn't too impressed by pretty boy Anderson.

. . . I wasn't too impressed by pretty boy Anderson.

Admittedly, I love my Anderson Cooper, so it's hard to agree here, but...
It would be difficult to determine where the line between 'ambition' and 'brains' should be drawn. All journalists, reporters, cameramen, sound crew,... place themselves in harms way to get the story. If they didn't posess that drive, that ambition, we would have never seen many of the history changing moments we've witnessed in our lifetime.

I think I know what happens when you mix democracy and radical Islam with feminism:

I think I know what happens when you mix democracy and radical Islam with feminism:

You have bad dreams about a nuclear war started by a sentient supercomputer that is sending assassin robots back through time to kill you? Sounds more like mixing acid and peyote to me.

I totally agree with one of the comments,
thought i disagree.

It's totally her fault..

Sympathizer:

"No, she shouldn't have been there. You evaluate risks of situation. Men or women. The risk assessment for this assignment and yes, a blonde female in the midst of angry riled up Muslim males in their country is NO place I would want my wife or daughter, nor would most females decide to put themselves in that danger.
The risk were too high. And YES you can say this without blaming her, take the emotion out of it and make decisions on logic and good ole common sense.

NO, females don't stay holed up inside, however, everyday, you unconsciously complete a risk assessment, i.e. not walking down a dark back alley. Let alone, where she was. Its never your fault when you are a victim, however, a decision to place yourself in a danger zone sometimes has unfavorable results.
So sorry for her, hope she can get therapy and work through this."
