A minority group in no way connected with the Egyptian protests

Redmap | 17.02.2011 02:39

A minority group of sex offenders (no reference available to indicate it was a minority, but apparently the CBS news release is incorrect in saying it was 200 - it was just a minority) were involved in the attack on a news correspondent during the Egyptian protests.

It is worth noting that this is NOT associated with the entire Egyptian protest movement, and in no way relates to it. It was just a coincidence that minority of people in the square who were involved in protesting were also capable of sexually assaulting a hot blonde (who was probably asking for it).

To this end, we should still 100% support the Egyptian protestors.


CBS News' Lara Logan Assaulted During Egypt Protests

(CBSNews) On Friday, Feb. 11, the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a "60 Minutes" story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently home recovering.

There will be no further comment from CBS News and correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time.
