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? 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. Churches are open to the public, aren't they? 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". What did he do wrong? Well I was hoping if any of the people getting into hysterics about all this could give a straight answer to a simple question, that would be bleeding obvious. Do you think you are allowed to barge into a church on Sunday morning to interrupt the service as a way of protesting? Like I said, no takers. There is no common decency, common sense in our diverse, multicultural societies. Everything must be regulated and if there is no law against it you can do anything. There are no shared customs, norms, values. You can barge into a church and be a 'journalist' arse'ole. Theoretically, you could do it in a mosque except you wouldn't dare. Synagogues are already under armed guards. Why not try a bike clubhouse? Churches are easy targets for cowardly, pestilential arse'oles.
