Re: [North Georgia Democrats] Video Journalist Forcefully Ejected from...

Sara Chaya Smith Cohen commented on your post in North Georgia Democrats. Sara Chaya Smith Cohen 7:27pm Aug 26 Who wants to take this case on contingency? Comment History Jon Kirkpatrick 7:26pm Aug 26 As I understand, the event was advertised as a "public" invited event. Therefore, Ms Tisdale was there to report on the event. IMO her Constitutional rights were violated on a number of levels. The hosts need to grab their wallets. The Deputy probably didn't follow procedures and could liable as well. If he was on duty the Sheriff has a problem, if off duty may still have a problem since the Deputy was uniformed. What's so lame is the Governor's response: "I'm just a guest"...and he wants a second term...NOT! Frank Gilkeson 7:14pm Aug 26 Tisdale has provided proof, though, that she was an invited guest to the event and thus felt that she had the right to record the event as a guest. Evidently there were people at the event that thought otherwise, as she has been charged with criminal trespass. She has also been charged with obstruction of an officer. Frank Gilkeson 7:11pm Aug 26 yes, the owner of the private property where the rally was held. Sara Chaya Smith Cohen 7:08pm Aug 26 So - who ordered the remvoal? Burt's Farms?? Original Post Frank Gilkeson 6:56pm Aug 26 Video Journalist Forcefully Ejected from Republican Rally for Deal-Perdue at Burts Pumpkin Patch for recording the event. This event was sponsored in part by the Lumpkin County Republican Party. Sam Olens, Attorney General of Georgia, watched the action and said: "Let me be possibly politically incorrect here a second. If we stand for anything as a party, what are we afraid of with the lady having a camera, filming us? What are we saying here that shouldn't be on film? What message are we sending? That because it's private property they shouldn't be filming? What is the harm? "The harm that occurs post-this is far greater than her filming us. What are we hiding? If we are telling you why we are running and what we stand for — what are we hiding? There is no reason for that. That is not right. It is private property. The property owner has the right to not have the person there. Who's the winner in the long run? Not a good move." http://www.fetchyournews.com/archives/19628-Video-Journalist-Forcefully-Removed-From-Republican-Meeting!.html Video Journalist Forcefully Removed From Republican Meeting! - fetchyournews.com www.fetchyournews.com View Post on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.
