Jimmy Kimmel Crew Uses Spotlight To Irritate Pro-Life Demonstrator

video
» 20 comments

This isn’t the sort of story one comes across every day. Apparently a crew was set to tape a segment for Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, while a pro-life group were demonstrating across the street. For reasons that remain unclear, the crew turned a hot spotlight on protester Ryan Bueler who reportedly withstood 15 minutes under the hot light. Conservative outlets have used terms like “weapons” and “assault” though some may see that as typical Internet hyperbole.

Breitbart.tv has the write-up of this very strange story:

On June 25th, a pro-life group called Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust were peacefully protesting outside of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood when a crew from the Jimmy Kimmel Show arrived to do some filming. The pro-life youth activists weren’t in the film crew’s way — whatever they were shooting was across the street — but then for no reason other than to be ideologically sadistic, the crew turned a hot spotlight on Ryan Bueler, one of the young protesters. Bueler refused to be intimidated and for 15 minutes stood under a light hot enough to partially melt a bracelet he was wearing.

    If Kimmel really wanted to irritate them, he should have given them tickets to his show.

    That was a funny video. I can only imagine what tasteless image the protester had on his sign.

    Fucktarded libtard assholes. He was a kid..and they brought that spotlight over and held it on him.It was hot enough to melt the bracelet he was wearing.

    Boo-fucking hoo. Why didn’t the idiot just move out of the spotlight? These so-called “Christians” will do Anything for attention. They’re no better than those lunatics the Westboro baptist church.

    There’s nothing more of a threat and a danger to society than seeing a right-wing Christian carry a firearm.

    Or showed them a choice selection of your feces-stained posts. Ugh.

    “Conservative outlets have used terms like “weapons” and “assault” though some may see that as typical Internet hyperbole.”

    It kills me when people resort to hyperbole.

    “stood under a light hot enough to partially melt a bracelet he was wearing. ”

    He was “done” on that side?

    This brings new meaning to the term “wienie roast.”

    Get a clue, brainiac. MOVE!

    Just to make it clear, the film crew was across the street from the protesters so for this guy to go over and get in their FACE so to speak is just the manufactured incident that FREAKS just love to create, that’s why the leader of the protesters got arrested, THEY PROVOKED THIS.

    Look at that photo and tell me he was not in the area of the film crews work space, seems the protesters got off lucky they should have been arrested and their permit revoked for harassing the film crew.

    I don’t know about anyone else, but after watching the video and clicking through to the anti-abortion site, the next thing I did was take what they say is Kimmel’s home address (or some poor sap who is getting at-home protests by mistake) and punch it into Google Maps for the StreetView.

    After landing where Google decided to put me, my first thought was that it looked like a fairly typical middle class, 70s-built neighborhood and I was impressed that he may not have gone all Hollywood, but then I “drove” down the street and ran into a couple of walled places with signed security. This caused me to zoom in on a few of the curb-painted house numbers and unless that street has dropped a digit, they could be protesting in front of the wrong house.

    I just don’t have enough information to know.

    Looks to me like the protesters moved across the street and put themselves right under the Kimmel crew lights. Then one of the “pro-lifers” tried moving the light.
    The cops came and arrested the jacka$$, grandstanding yahoo that was interfering with the Kimmel crew trying to do their work.

    Ah free speech and the right to assemble. Apparently, to the left, this only applies to SOME people… not all.

  • MDT

    Asshole hunt…

    Does anyone know the name of the light guy in the white t-shirt..?
    I’m sure a few of us would like to know (just for the record).

    He should be accessed for an interview…to get his side of the story.

    I’m sure he’s just misunderstood and just trying to fry Christians…I mean do his job.

    Who is he..?

    There was a couple of sentences in between but would not post

    Try posting partialBirthabortionorfetuses etc it’s on filter…HOW CONVENIENT

  • philipjames

    Nothing new here about the piece of sht left wing. Liberals are ashamed of nothing, that is why they can be racists themselves, have a wife with with cancer and screw another without shame, get a blow job in the White House while talking to the General Chief of Staff about the slaughter in Bosnia, the first “Black” President kicked to the curb by blacks when Obama elected and then this first “Black” President says that racist dick, Byrd, even after being a black hating KKK leader for 10 years or more says he was just doing that to get elected and what a great white man he was…. typical liberal … live in the sewer, call it heaven and do it with no shame whatsoever.

  • MoDans55

    It appears that those “innocent” protestors had been making a nuisance of themselves for the better part of the day, and actullay caused a disturbance at the taping of the show FROM THE FRONT ROW OF THE AUDIENCE.
    It also seems that THEY followed the film crew and provoked a confrontation.
    However, the investigation continues:

    “Get your face out of Barry’s ass”

    It’s all yours. notsobright’s anal fetish continues, episode #439. Ugh.

    “There was a couple of sentences in between but would not post
    ??Not sure why”

    Loose nut at keyboard?

    “Liberals are ashamed of nothing”

    They’re a tad embarrassed for YOU.

    “It appears that those “innocent” protestors had been making a nuisance of themselves for the better part of the day , , , ”

    Facts, facts, facts! The “neocon-men” here can’t be bothered with FACTS!

  • Thomas G Williams

    Hey Blue they abused the right and provoked a confrontation with a film crew that had nothing to do with them THEY WANTED the confrontation and violated the rights of the film crew, or did you not get that FACT. now they are violating the mans privacy and it has nothing to do with the stated goal of the WACKOs to strip women of their equality and the equal protections of the law.

    You win your NWMT.

    Anyone ever hear of a concept known as freedom of expression? The way I see it is the anti-murder by abortion folks were practicing theirs and Jimmy Kimmel (whomever the hell he is) was practicing his by intimidating the first party. You know, kind of like when that dude in Birmingham Alabama turned the firehoses and dogs loose on those people who were having a freedom march.
