Former CNN host Don Lemon arrested in connection with Minnesota protest

ted chittenden said:
If you believe that Mr. Lemon planned to get himself arrested by ICE for reporting on a protest inside a church and interviewing its pastor in order to increase traffic to his Youtube channel and websites, then, as George Straight would say, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona that I'll sell for pennies on the dollar.

But aggressively invading private space and forcibly trying to interview worshipers could be, rationally, considered as "risky". There is no freedom of speech on private property; he was not given permission to be there.

It certainly would be if that was true, but if you actually watch the video of the incident, Lemon's conduct by no means was "aggressive" or "forcible". He made it clear that he was not part of the protest, and the pastor he interviewed said that he asked the protestors to leave, so if Lemon was really being that much of a disruption, why didn't the pastor just tell him to leave as well?

Again, it was private property and he had no permission. Do you really think that the pastor, in the middle of a noisy disruption to his worship service, was thinking through the legalities of press vs. protestors?
 
When you have a TV star in the white house and administration, everything is being done for TV. That includes the killing of the protesters. You can watch it in living color. You can see her blood spattered on the inside of her SUV. It's all for TV. That's the world we live in now. There is no "private property."
