Was not the reporter under the duty to hand over this tape to military authorities,under the rules of imbeds? If that's the case then strong measures should be taken against Sites. Also has Sites been removed from that Marine unit,because at this point i"m sure his presence is a distraction to the Marines and therefore endangers their lives. Sites has to be removed from that unit at the very least.
There's SO much wrong with your post that it isn't worth taking apart piece by piece.
He did.
No, a bunch of idiots keep trolling.
But don't let that stop you from making a fool of yourself.
DU Trolls ENLIST.
OH yeah, you don't believe in defending the US, nor do you believe in freedom for all.
You only believe in freedom for YOUR chosen elite, and you'd probably fight for the enemy instead!
WHEN?
When he ran straight to the media and portrayed himself as a shining beacon of truth?
He is horndogging for notoriety, and that's it.
Right before he passed it to NBC.

No, just before.

SFW? Nothing criminal about it. And it's worth noting that the embed rules, contrary to what a lot of folks here have been spouting, do NOT require pixelation of faces.
Are you positively sure that he released the tape to the USMC first? Anyone can see how the edited version (similar to the Rodney King tape) could "inflame" the Arab Street.
Yes. The unit involved was pulled off the line BEFORE the tape went to the networks because he gave a copy to the PAO.

I want every Abu, Achmed, Faisal, Mohammed, and Yasser, along with every other a$$hole living on Arab Street, to see what happens when they meet up with the USMC.
I want the would-be jihadis on Arab Street to start saying, "Holy s**t! The kuffars ain't f***ing around this time!"
HOW is anyone supposed to be absolutely sure the guy leaning on the wall is not armed?
Especially when he starts moving like he's going to do something stupid?
Number two: Sites behavior is disgusting.
And since it appears that he has NOT in fact given the tape to USMC HQ before running to the MSM, it looks REALLY bad.
If I were in that soldier's shoes, I would have done the same thing.
Especially since the terrorists have been booby trapping bodies and pretending to be hurt in an effort to kill more soldiers.
Sites acted irresponsibly.
He should be ostracised at the least, his press pass turned in, and sent back on the first plane home.
Sites loves the terror-boys so much, perhaps he should check the terror-boys for weapons before the Marines do next time?
I'm not arguing about the righteousness of the shooting: IMNHO, this was as open-and-shut as it gets.

Well, he did. The unit was pulled off the line because of it.
As for behavior being disgusting: fine. Since when (outside of Islamist reactions to the West) does merely "disgusting" behavior justify demands by FReepers that this journalist be murdered?
Sites acted irresponsibly.
How? By showing you that war ain't a Nintendo game?
I feel a bit left out that I missed all of your deleted comments. I saw that one #273 and that is enough for me. I take it that you are from Ireland based on some of the other responses to your deleted posts.
Many of the votes in the blue states are from large urban areas. That is where the largest concentration of welfare recipients will be found in this country. It is simply not so of the "red" states outside of their own urban areas.
Curious that an Irishman would complain about welfare since the economy of Ireland was for years completely propped up by the other socialist nations of the European Union. If you are indeed in Ireland, then you are more of a welfare client than you are likely aware of or willing to consider acknowledging.
Europeans invented the welfare state, and the Irish until recently have been among the greatest purveyors of terrorism that the world has ever seen. The Islamic throwbacks have certainly taken terrorism to new heights, but we all should also keep in mind the antics of a largely revered faction of Ireland's political circumstances. I am ashamed sometimes to be of that heritage when I consider the terrorists tactics utilized by my distant relatives. I am glad that my remote cousins do not know how lowly I consider some of their countrymen to be.
There is no way to tell for certain about your residence, but your associate Lifted Spirits seems to want to deflect from the possibility that you are indeed of Irish extraction. That appears to be some method of attributing to you a bit of legitimacy.
"I'm not arguing about the righteousness of the shooting"
But Sites and the media IS.
You mean "Sites and the media ARE."
At any rate, SFW? They have a right to be wrong and ignorant. It still doesn't justify advocating murder...which we've had FReepers doing.

LOL

Did the other one crawl out? I was gone.
