Interesting information Danny. Actually, I knew that some freelancers who
do lots of work that is legitimate were there that night, but feelancing is
not the same as being a full-time photojournalist. Most people can only do
that by being staff on a paper or magazine (the latter being very rare
these days).  What I objected to, and it was a quite narrow objection that
some people took out of context, was the association of all
photojournalists, including people there that night in her death, when no
one has been charged.

Being arrested means nothing. Or is fascism in style again?

That's all I'm going to say on the subject. See my next post for a happy
posting! <G>
