So literally in this case bullying is ok? I mean the seperatist leader from a few years ago that was busted doing cocaine was given far more gentle treatment then this.
Is this a Soprano's type intervention?
I get the illegal drugs, I get the consorting, I've come around to the side of light on this that he has to go.
But no I don't buy that smearing a guy, showing a video and buying a video of a guy in a private home is anywhere near the right thing and sets a dangerous precedence.
If your the friend of someone famous, its now ok to film his every private moment because a paper will pay money for it, how is that right?
What happens if lets say, Ford hangs himself due to the harassment? or loses his family due to the press assaulting his property and people filming moments in his house for cash?
We talk diversivly about papers like the national enquirer or the English rags for buying stories like this. Where does this sit? Honest question?
BTW where's the context of this story did they just publish it because they it makes Ford look like a dumbass and a monster without any context. Ie was this a guy fired up after arm wrestling hulk hogan or watching UFC or whatever? This isn't reporting its something more dark and dangerous to me, and it goes to the right to privacy.
The crack video I'm pretty much fine with, it was clearly a criminal act (I'm guessing because I haven't seen it) and the papers did actually do some reporting with it and have provided context.
This is like a facebook thing, OMG this guy is wrecked lets film it and sell it to the press. And the media goes omg this guy is wrecked, watch it with no context and make your own conclusions.
So Flamesaddiction, lets go out and party, I'll film you absolutely loaded, maybe goad you into saying something about your boss or your wife, and release the video on the interweb with no context. I don't mind coming to your place.
