Anderson Cooper is the ****ing man.
http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2010/01/1...-chaos/?hpt=T2

Ya gotta see these pics.

Quote:
We were covering another story when we heard shots being fired. We ran toward the sound and found a store being looted. Two Haitian police officers were occasionally firing into the air to try to keep order, but that only worked for a few moments, then the looting would begin again.

They were stealing boxes of candles. An American businessman named Tony who owns two stores nearby barricaded one street to keep looters away. He had armed the two Haitian police with automatic weapons, and they were assisting him, but they were not able to control anything beyond their barricade.

It quickly became a free-for-all. Young men began fighting one another for the stolen items. A number of young men had knives, and planks of wood, screwdrivers and rocks. They were using their improvised weapons to threaten and injure others who had stolen items from the store. The robbers were now being robbed. One group of looters whipped another man with a leather belt. They punched him as well, and they stole the sack of goods he'd just stolen.

I was in the midst of the melee with Charlie Moore, my producer, Neil Hallsworth my cameraman, Vlad Duthiers, my translator, and there was a still photographer from Getty Images with us, photojournalist Jonathan Torgovnik. As things got really out of control, I saw a looter on the roof of the store they'd broken into throw what I think was part of a concrete block into the crowd. It hit a small boy in the head.

I saw him collapse. More chunks of concrete were being thrown at the looters on the roof. The injured boy couldn't get up. He'd try and then collapse again. Blood was pouring from his head. He was conscious but had no control over his body. I was afraid someone on the roof would see him lying there and throw another cinder block piece onto him. I was afraid he'd get killed. No one seemed to be helping him.

I ran to where he was struggling, and picked him up off the ground. I brought him to a spot about a hundred feet away. I could feel his warm blood on my arms. I stood him up, but he was clearly unable to walk. He wiped his bloody face, and I tried to reassure him. He had no idea where he was, and he clearly couldn't walk, so I picked him up again and handed him over to someone behind that makeshift barricade. Tony, the American businessman, gave the boy a wet towel. He was then taken away by someone else. We don't know what happened to him.

I hope he's ok.

Watch the video and tell me its ketchup. The kids has blood literally pouring down his face.

That being said, I know you were joking.

Cooper may be the the ****ing man, but Tony is a ****ing moron for risking his life for whatever he has in that store. I'd cut my losses and get the hell out of there.

Anderson Cooper has nice guns. He wears a shirt with short sleeves to show them off! What a sexy hero man!

Interesting decision by Anderson to decide to get involved in the action rather than just report it. I definitely support his decision, there are enough journalists down there reporting about everything going wrong, it's great to see one act with human emotion, step up and help out in a time of need. Similar to Dr. Sanjay Gupta performing brain surgery on a girl down there as well.

Hard to fathom the mind that thinks to throw cinder blocks into a crowd. What a nightmare.

My dad worked over in that country many years ago. He told me stories that you'd see dead bodies laying along side the roads out in the country side. That place needs to be nuked. Those people are not civil.

Great to see top-notch photojournalism in this day and age. Its been hard to find since the Vietnam era.

I guess it doesn't matter if the child was saved, but I hope he did this with the intention of helping the kid and not ratings. I wish CNN would have left this one off the website, if not for the great photography.

Starvation and squalor will do strange things to a person.

Reminds me of the L.A. riots back when Rodney King just wanted to get along.
