Felony arrests in order for photographers and journalists to hide the BP oil spill disaster
 

Heard it on CNN. the gov made some laws to prohibit people from seeing dead animals and oil coated everything and how bad stuff really is. if you go near any kind of oil stuff and take pics you get a 40k fine and a felony arrest. in other news, BP is gathering all the dead animals at sea and burning them at sea to keep the public from seeing it.



That's keeping it real!

Way to go USA.
:mad::mad:

NICE............. personal freedoms are alive and well, I see:disgust

Just checkout some foreign news sites instead :2 cents:

qft :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Must be Bush's fault.

it's for the greater good.

Welcome to the "change"...The Peoples Republic of America.

the one time i tuned in to cnn they were doing a full story on an octopus that would guess the outcome of world cup soccer matches based on which basket the octopus ate out of,


so this story has merit if it was seen on cnn!

Total class.

they need to get about 5000 people all with cameras to go there at once...they can't arrest them all.

LOL, if its not entertaining, its not American news.:thumbsup

Any link for this?

BP is the problem here. Never forget that.

seems that way eh :Oh crap


of course not.
there's no truth to this story.

post proof or banned from america.

here's your links shut the fuck up. are you too stupid to use google too?
google : 65 feet bp felony anderson cooper

see how that works?

it's for the public's safety. not a big deal. area is a disaster area.

that link doesn't support your comment.



and i have zero problems with a 65 foot safety zone around booms and skimming machinery.

I suggest you look things up, before you post!
65 feet is NOT Very far, for a nice zoom lens.

Stay away from the working equiptment and let them do their jobs...

So staying out of the way is considered censorship? 65 feet is about the distance from my porch to the curb ..... lol .... Nice fucking post!


.

and where is the fun in that? how do you expect me to instigate dummies on the internet to fight if i actually do any research?

quite frankly, as idiotic as journalists are, i'd feel more comfortable if the zone was 100 feet.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

A 65 feet boundary to keep people out the fucking way of those actually doing cleaning up the mess. Not exactly censorship - especially as they would be the same people moaning their tits off if someone accidentally knocked their camera in the sea because they were too busy looking through it to move when needed.

Bullshit. You should be able to walk up behind them and fuck them in the ass WHILE they're working. Its your right God damn it. WTF is this safety nonsense???

good idea, zero feet will accomplish more.

The American government was hijacked a long time ago, unfortunately it would take an incrediblely personal event for the American people to take it back.

is there draw basket? :1orglaugh

moron. :thumbsup

THE GREATER GOOD! :thumbsup

I bet you would like to have a delete my post feature on GFY Eh!!!

Kinda sounds like something the Chinese or Soviets would you do.

good thing we elected a guy who swore to make this the most transparent gov't ever! It really really shows.

I think it is a reasonable safety rule...and does not impede the taking of pictures...as cameras can use telescopic lenses. Originally the Coast Gaurd was either going to or had a 300 foot rule and with the idiots that serve in the press this would actually sounds more reasonable than 65 feet...at least to me.

welcome to the united states of fascism. enjoy your stay

You made me pick up my epitchfork for nothing!!

65 feet doesn't seem like a big deal at first, but, if there is a boom surrounding an entire island, that means you cant get on the fucking island!

so yes it's a big deal IMO.

Obama was a major liar, about alot of things.

Quoted for truth.

I can't believe how bad this situation is, and worse it is getting. There's no reason at all to block the press & photographers. This is only going to make things worse for Obama and BP.

I'm not surprised at all, this shady government practise has been going on for decades in Britain, join the club America.

People voted for Obama, people voted for change and they got it:disgust

Goddamn idiots saying for safety are fucking retards. Just kill yourselves already.

Goddamn idiots saying 65 feet prevents the taking of pictures are fucking retards. Just kill yourselves already.

Fucking Sheep.

I swear, your all fucking sheep.

It's common fucking sense that they want to keep people away from the booms and or other ships operating in the gulf. I'm pretty fucking sure it's a standard rule across the fucking country that you can't come within sixty-five feet of another ship at sea or what not.

Speaking of sheep..

Many feel 65 feet is ok, but even that's too much when miles of boom is stretched all along the shores and waterways preventing access to anywhere even remotely near the oil; effectively forcing photographers far further away than 65 feet.

And for anyone suggesting zoom lenses - good luck with that from 10, 20, 50 miles away - and even if one has uber-zoom lenses, seeing the ocean surface over the curvature of the Earth will be an issue. Umm, flying over would be easier, but wait, that's restricted too.

Rambling on, bottom line the so-called safety restrictions are NOT about safety, but rather all about cover-up. BP is running the show - the less the public sees, the less BP has to pay out; continue to do business as usual.

Nothing to see here, move along. Obama has a 65 post limit on the oil spill.

Don't be daft. In a battle between common sense and badly thought out internet rantings common sense always loses.

Right on...

If Oboma is the answer how dumb was the question?
