Gee, if they can arrest Lemon for this, then maybe they’ll be able to arrest someone who documents ICE/CBP abuses?Don Lemon taken into custody for his involvement in livestreaming protest at Minnesota church

Who’s to say that interrupting a church service is equal to getting “too close” to federal agents while protesting/recording?
Yes. During a law enforcement operation, if LE is close enough to touch you, you are way too close. But that is not the point. The point is that Don Lemon knew what these agitators were planning and stormed into the church, pretending to act like a journalist. When in reality, he was using his microphone no differently than an unhinged lunatic screaming in someone's ear with a bull horn. Just like so many of these activists, they are the ones beating a bee hive with a stick and crying on CNN because they are covered with stings.
Or many other venues like weddings, funerals, PTA meetings or whatever causing total chaos.
Understood. Breaking into a house of worship is a peaceful protest protected by the first amendment. But breaking into a capital building is "insurrection." Burning down cities because a drug thug died of an overdose is a "fiery but mostly peaceful protest" and somehow protected free speech. Liberals go unhinged because a man squirted a representative with apple cider vinegar, but turn a blind eye when liberal activists throw frozen bottles of water. Yes, even entire police precinct and city block can be overrun by a mob for weeks, and it is just a "summer of love." People can be rounded up and arrested for not wearing a mask, but for some reason, illegal immigrants who are convicted of rape, murder, and child molestation is comparable to the Gustapo rounding up Jews.
Not to my knowledge. Do I have the first amendment right to record and interview people who do so? You know, the actual thing under discussion.
That's nice. Get back to me when you want to discuss what is actually going on in this case. I have no interest in listening to your litany of grievances.
IDK, do you have the first amendment right to barge into the funeral along with me just as long as you have camera and a microphone? Is that type of journalism worth protecting? Barging into say a community play and shoving a camera and mic in people's faces?
No, it’s not. Democracy doesn’t have an issue with journalism nor does it punish those who report on it.Don Lemon taken into custody for his involvement in livestreaming protest at Minnesota church
