Confronted for (gasp!) filming a protest

- While reporting on a protest at McGill University in Montreal, I was approached by three protesters and told that I was "making people uncomfortable" by exercising my right to film in public. Although MANY other people at the protest, including other journalists, filmed and took photos, these three protesters apparently singled me out for some strange reason.
If you don’t want to be filmed or photographed, don’t go to a protest. Stay at home and close the blinds. There’s no expectation of privacy in public.

You can film whatever you want in public. I would have told him to f off
Free Palestine
Re connect the internet to Gaza,
Then film, film, film!
@@DONOSTIA45 'Palestinians' would be free if the surrounding countries had assimilated them all those decades ago after WW2. Instead, they are still 'refugees' generations later. But yes, it's all about Israel being the nasty aggressor.
Perhaps if you lot would stop supporting terrorists (which you are, regardless of how you dress it up) and support Israel, then countries like Iran would stop supporting Hamas finacially and they would cease to exist in the way they do now.
Tbf, both parties were polite and corteous. A well mannered interactiom imo
Free Palestine
Free Palestine!
Free Free Palestine
I know exactly what you mean: Free Gaza from Hamas so Palestine can be free!
@@MrBroken030Free Palestine from the oppression of the Israeli government and people won’t join Hamas
Palestine does not exist as a country.
It is the zone of Gaza.
Look up the terms you are using.
Hamas are NOT freedom fighters.
But a branch of ISIS.
Look around you. Supporting the Palestinian cause seems to be a good way to wreck your prospects or career at the moment. These protestors could be punished or find it hard to get a job later or be on a government database of terrorist-sympathisers or simply blacklisted as anti-semitic. The ones who don't see that risk are a bit naive.
Sadly you are right.
So much for a free country and it's freedom of speech
You are right but using that fear is how they will shut down dissent and control you.
Palestinians are people, it's not about actions of a few. Just like for the opposite side.
If you are not free to express your views in the US, provided it's not hate speech, it is a protected constitutional right.
Anyone saying they discriminate against someone for their political or religious beliefs can be sued under such cases... So I hope those individuals or companies say as such in public as that can be used in a court of law... $$$$$
At one point in time it was forbidden to harbour jewish people and to speak against a nazi regime ... Look at us now perpetuating the traditions. To think it was only a few decades back that the same victims that were in the camps became the oppressors
Freedom of the press is a constitutional right. If you don't want to be filmed or photographed, don't go to a protest. We're not going to put away our cameras and give up our rights simply because some people are afraid of being "blacklisted."
