Anyone can be a journalist now. Just pull out your phone. Like teenagers filming themselves assaulting someone.

Lemon has a degree in Broadcast Journalism, and works today as a journalist.

Teenagers filming themselves assaulting immigrants and homosexuals are not journalists.

Do you think whether he has a degree, or whether he works as a journalist, has any bearing on whether he committed a crime?

Do you think he committed a crime? Undecided

Probably. He has certainly been charged.

Do you think you are allowed to barge into a church on Sunday morning to interrupt the service as a way of protesting? I have asked this a few times, but no takers so far.

Generally yeah, they are about as tolerant as you can get. But they have the right to refuse entry, kick you out etc. I can't imagine the protestors (or the "journalists" accompanying them) intended to, or did, protest by leaving as soon as they were asked. In any case I haven't seen anyone argue Lemon's innocence on the basis of his actions, or lack thereof. Only on some vague, unstated assumption that the police cannot arrest him because he is a "journalist".

When you're done with that, I have another. Should citizen journalists be allowed into mosques?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

We'll await your considered reply.

Evidence would say that ICE agents are not very tolerant at all, you would also expect that it is a profession that would eliminate the possibility of being christian.

It's against the law to protest in a place of worship.

Would the leftists who claim lemon shouldn't have been arrested defend any rednecks doing the exact same thing in a mosque or would they call it an Islamophobic hate crime?

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Freediver? Do you uphold the rights of journalists to cover mosques?

I am sure, in your hysterics, you think this is relevant. No doubt the protestors and "journalists" thought it was a valid excuse for breaking the law.
