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.

I've never participated in the Simply Red or mecca threads. If you don't want to participate, don't. If you can't even stand the thought of seeing them, even though you are not participating maybe this forum is not for you or maybe you should use the ignore feature more often. Just a suggesion.

Yes...perhaps that could be applied to people complaining about this thread as well?

Exactly, i dont see how anyone could maintain 'journalistic objectivity/distance' in a situation like that... most people would have to get involved.

Haiti had problems with looters, thieves and mob action before the earthquake. What a total cluster fuck. I won't be surprised at all if some of the american troops on site to keep peace and supervise relief supply aren't attacked in the next couple days. Just a bad, bad scene. If I were there, I'd get the hell out and never go back.

The main thing I'm sending is prayers. And some cash. I think the prayers might be almost as needed as the cash.

Kids getting hurt is a horrible heart breaker - regardless of anything else.

Yes to both.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_Cooper
Quote:
Cooper has never married and has actively avoided discussing his private life, citing a desire to protect his neutrality as a journalist. His public reticence contrasts deliberately with his mother's life spent in the spotlight of tabloid journalists and her publication of memoirs explicitly detailing her affairs with celebrities; Cooper vowed "not to repeat that strategy".[19][20][21] Independent news media have reported that Cooper is gay,[22] and in May 2007, Out magazine ranked him second behind David Geffen in its list of the fifty "Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America."[23] When asked about his sexuality, he stated "I understand why people might be interested. But I just don’t talk about my personal life. It’s a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life. The whole thing about being a reporter is that you're supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you’re in, and I don’t want to do anything that threatens that."[4] He has, however, discussed his desire to have a family and children.[5]
People I know who have met him say that it's much more obvious when you meet him in real life and he's off the air.

Don't care about him being gay. but, him being a graduate of Yale, Vanderbilt rich and then choosing to be a reporter elevates him in my opinion. bias or not at least he's doing what he loves and takes it seriously.

Yeah, he's an interesting guy. He came and did a talk here, which I didn't get to attend. It was supposedly very good, though.
