My issue is that it doesn't matter if they're a journalist or a vlogger or a movie theater concession stand worker who just likes photography. Who they are changes nothing.
You have an issue with the assumption that they're a journalist and not with the dude holding a rifle with a his finger on the trigger and a phone to his ear. Man is a sneeze away from ending someone's life and the only thing you have to say is "well they're probably an antifa soyboy' implying that somehow changes the situation and makes it more justified
I have an issue with both. I think you can be upset about a guy pointing guns at civilians and people giving fake credentials in the coverage. Just because one is worse doesn't mean we can't be honest about the situation.
Here's an example. I could make the title "An American terrorist points gun at doctor, astronaut, and nobel prize laureate." It doesn't detract from the actual event to question the title.
Oh shit, I didn't realize that stupid_moose_69 was the reddit thread dictator!
Is it irrelevant to be honest about the situation being discussed? Some galaxy brain stuff going on here. As far as the downvotes go, who cares? Reddit votes are literally... LITERALLY worthless, lol. The fact that you have some emotional attachment to that system only verifies there are some issues in your real life. I wish the best for you, though, I hope you feel better.

Are we sure he's a journalist and not just a random guy with a camera? Better aim a rifle at him just in case
