Afghan mine-clearer killed by Taliban after it sees him in Emmy-winning film
An Afghan contractor who worked for the US military was killed by the Taliban after appearing in an Emmy-winning documentary despite warnings it would endanger him, according to a report.
Wow, the film makers Heineman and McNally are total pieces of shit. They were warned several times that people would be killed if they didn't blur their faces. Heineman and McNally said it would be fine, then said no one ever warned them, then said it's normal to show faces, then said it's really the governments fault, not theirs.
Heineman and McNally are responsible for this person's death, and are too cowardly to admit it.
Yup that’s how you never ever get future work as all potential victims are gonna be too scared now to come forth for any kind of reveal. They didn’t deserve an award for just manipulating and then outing vulnerable people.
The guy was crazy for appearing in the documentary without a mask in the first place.
Did he really think the empire trying to subjugate his people was going to protect him once he outlived his usefulness?
Maybe the empire that invaded his country should have done more to protect him once he outlived their usefulness.
Why would you expect such an empire to help him once he was of no further use?
Like if they wanted to help people like him, they wouldn't be there in the first place, let alone funding the very worst warlords, protecting the drug trade, locking people up in blacksites and torturing them, protecting Blackwater and others from prosecution for their crimes, etc.
You have to be really, really fucking evil for people to support the Taliban over you.
Ah, yes. The renowned unit of elite war fighters, the Green Beets.
