Jimmy Kimmel Crew Uses Spotlight To Irritate Pro-Life Demonstrator

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.
