No one gets stalked like them...so those others kids are safe. For some of you to pin this on what kind of parents they are and not on the stalkarazzi guy is stupid.
The paps can cry “freedom of speech” all they want, but even on that there are limits. YOUR freedoms end when MY freedoms are impinged upon. Are you free to not allow people of a race you don’t like in your private apartment complex? NO. Are you free to yell “fire” in a crowded theater? NO.
The paps’ so-called freedom of speech ends where the privacy of the Jolie-Pitt’s, and the making of the film, begin. They are not free to walk into their hotel rooms, climb into their cars, or shove them. They are not free to impede them walking down the street, or to grab them. They are not free to verbally assault them and they are not free to jump out of a bush and frighten them. Are they free to take photos from across the street? Sure. Even from 10 feet back. Are they free to shove each other, elbow each other, knock each other’s cameras around? No.
You see, freedom of speech ends when it becomes assault, or battery, or threatening, or trespassing, or stalking. Just like having a rally in the town square. You are allowed to gather, but
you still have to get permits, not block traffic, mind noise ordinances, etc. Aggressive paps are not following the guidelines for freedom of speech.
This photog has a feeling of entitlement; he thinks he can do whatever he wants. He said something to the effect ‘I have a hotel room, here. I have a right to be here.’ Yes, he has a right to enjoy the hotel, his hotel room, and the grounds; he doesn’t have the right to suckle off of other people’s good times, especially if it’s private. His logic is a few steps away of those pervs who take pics of women’s crotches.
