So Anderson Cooper got punched in the head a few times, yawn. I grew up playing smear the queer in elementary school and I don't recall an international backlash. I thought this whole Egypt thing was about freedom and democracy and the right to earn more than 2 dollars a day. How are those poor people going to get any of this if we can't even allow them to play a silly school yard game.
The incident came as pro-Mubarak supporters attacked protesters calling for the Egyptian president to step down. Speaking on “American Morning” after the attack, Cooper said that he and his crew had been trying to go to a neutral zone between the two groups.
“We never got that far,” he said. “We were set upon by pro-Mubarak supporters punching us in the head.” Cooper said that he and the crew tried to escape, but that the crowd only grew: “the crowd kept growing, kept throwing punches, kicks…suddenly a young man would look at you and punch you in the face.”
Memo to AC360, that is generally how the game works.
