Myself, I love it. These prick home grow reporters think they are above the law. Now days anyone with a video cam wants to call themself a reporter. Think they can go anywhere they want jst because they have a video cam and a mic.

If people want to see pricks get they ass beat. Get up and go to where it's happening. Stop sitting behind a computer.

Which Part of the Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to these people? I'm just curious, you are telling me something new, and I would like to learn.

[ANGLEBOOT]

The Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to Americans, not any jerk ass that comes to America lying saying they are media.

[TheConstitutionMan]

So the Constitution is only good for Americans on American Soil. Police and federal officials do not need a Warrant, or a reason to arrest anyone from another country, or prove they are guilty of a crime? This is something new to me, can you cite which article, section, and sentence of the constitution that states such things?

Pointing out:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to OURSELVES and OUR Posterity,..."

There is nothing about anyone from an other conutry here just to start trouble. The day it's for everyone in the world. The USA will no longer be. Then welcome to the NWO.

[TheConstitutionMan]

The Constitution and The Bill of Rights apply to ANYONE, REGARDLESS OF NATIONALITY, OR CITIZENSHIP, that is on American soil. That's what males America America!!!!!!

[zholyrebel]

KEEP POSTING!!!!!!!!! in different places cuz the government keeps trying to shut this video down.

[jasonmoretto]

US media is all dumb propaganda.

@ANGLEBOOT

"We consider these truths to be self evident, ALL men are created equal..." The founding fathers recognized that life liberty and the pursuit of happiness are HUMAN RIGHTSf for all mankind, not just Americans, this was the premace for their appeal!

[ANGLEBOOT]

LOL I told people obama was for the terrorist way before he was voted in. As long as they stay off America mainland they don't have rights to the Constitution as we do.

No one from other countries that are not citizens shouldn't.

[thesoothsayers]

You better tell Obama that, he is letting all the terrorists go free because he says they have the same rights under the Constitution as US Citizens.

[Leavon]

Heres a right they are entitled to, get on a plane and return to their country of origin and raise a ruckus there and stop coming to this country. Oh and whoever the mouthpiece here should be disbarred since he just wants to try his case in front of a camera instead of a court room.

[MsLadyLiberty]

well do you blame them?

5 major corporations own almost all forms of media.

The media is the Department of Propaganda for the Bush administraion....

if the media will not report on reality, then the people will be the media....
