Some pretty sad comments on here. You can talk about the wisdom of sending an attractive young woman into a crowd like this. But don’t let your disgust for the kind of animals that did this outweigh your empathy for this young lady. Putting herself in a risky situation made her more vulnerable to an attack NOT more deserving of an attack (or less deserving of our sympathy after the fact).
Do you have the same empathy for Anderson Cooper? Although Logan had plenty of experience in wartime reporting in the Islamic world, she made a foolish mistake believing that she could be among a crowd of young Muslim men dressed like a Westerner and not covering her hair and most of her body. It was dumb and she is lucky it was not worse.
Funny, check how many articles on the net refer to this unfortunate young lady as a “sex pot” (and “so-called journalist” to boot.)
Oh, yes, sympathy we all have, but also brains and an ability to reason.
Well said.
Ditto that!
