DON LEMON, CNN HOST: Still, again, this conversation is no way justifying what he has done, but it is also something that we need to talk about. Also something that is not — that is being talked about online, being talked about on the radio, but not being talked about in media coverage. I have to say, even other journalists, because I made a similar point yesterday, that it appears from his manifesto that he is, you know, he wasn’t crazy when he wrote his manifesto. Someone, another journalist from a major news organization wrote me and said, confidentially: “Your coverage of the LA fugitive story makes me proud to be a black journalist. Yes, what he’s doing is wrong, but your points are right. Praying for him and the victims. once they catch him. Obviously this is a confidential message because of where I work. Peace and Love.”
CNN HOST: Once they catch him, it’s a conversation we need to have.
LEMON: Absolutely.
