What a sicko
You've probably heard, already, about some Italian commie journalist who got shot at.
Note the following about this story (here and elsewhere):
The headline refers to the fact that the journalist got wounded. The fact that the agent who "rescued" her got killed is tagged on as an afterthought.
Her newspaper folks were cheering. To get an idea of how sick this is, consider:
A woman puts herself in obvious danger. Then something bad happens to her (presumably. She sure likes talking about how nice her captors were, though), which could easily have been avoided if she hadn't put herself in obvious danger. The Italian government now has to rescue her. As a result of this easily-avoided rescue effort, the person sent to rescue her dies. But these people are busy cheering because "Hey, our person's safe. Who cares about the rest, who would've been safe if our person hadn't put herself in needless danger?" What a bunch of dicks.
If journalists want to be seen as neutral and objective in their coverage, that's fine, but then our governments need to stop putting our people at risk to save these neutral parties.
