NewsBusters reports that four members of the pro-life group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust got their hands on free tickets to the Jimmy Kimmel Show the other night and caused enough of a disruption during taping that the police escorted them out. The youth group is trying to call attention to that fact that on June 25th, while peacefully picketing outside of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, a film crew hired by the Kimmel Show turned a hot spotlight on one of their members, Ryan Bueler. It was an astonishing act of cruelty that’s just now starting to make the rounds online.

Actually, this is very helpful...it defines a treatment the US can use on prisoners that the left does not consider torture. So line up the next set of terrorists captured and turn the klieg lights on them and see how long before they start talking.

Not sure if this is a crime, but if someone was indeed burned then they could probably try civil negligence. I think assault may work as well if a reasonable person in the same position would have been substantially certain that a burn would have occurred. Considering these guys are professionals at this, I would think that people in the industry would know what shining the light on someone would do. If it could indeed burn someone that quickly then intent may well be there.

You need to read my post #53. The protesters didn't have a permit to be in that spot, but the gaffers through ABC Studios (dba Jimmy Kimmel), did. They turned a light on in the area that they were permitted to work, and the protesters didn't move. That's not really assault, that's just stupidity.

Yes, the Teamsters were douchebags. Unfortunately, in LA it's the movie/television business that pays the bills, so when the union thugs have the right permits, they get to be douchebags. That's life in LA.
