In our worlds she might be "entitled", but she was not in our world when this happened. Certain different cultural norms existed where she was, and she bears personal responsibility for being aware of those norms and acting accordingly. I am not intending to accuse/convict all Egyptians of being non-secular, non-Westernized, boy-loving/woman-denigrating goatherders, but by all reports that night the crowd (mob?) was not all focused on pure political ideals of Jeffersonian representative democracy. Several other news reporting crews have been attacked, and all report that to one extent or another the attacks contained elements of the influence of fundamentalist Muslim - words chanted in unison by several members of the crowd, indicators of membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, etc.
I am not saying those cultural norms are commendable.
But just like here at home where we know there are certain parts of town where it is not considered safe to go strolling alone after dark, someone who takes the known risk shares in the responsibility when things happen to them.
Knowing the risks and taking them in order to bring the news out gets my admiration and an open admission of great courage on her part. But please refer to the first part of that sentence again. She did not wade into that crowd wearing rose-colored glasses with a Polyanna attitude in her heart.
Because I come from "our" world I am outraged at what happened and think that horsewhipping the perpetrators is not good enough punishment. Had I come, instead, from "their" world I might think nothing of the event, or want to commend those who participated.
Trying to impose the values from home onto life in places where you are not at home any more can be dangerous. I believe the saying is "the stupid should hurt"?
stay safe.
