Real Talk With Jayden Perkins

From August 16-18, 1988, Germans Hans Jurgen Rosner, Dieter Degowski & Marion Loblich robbed a bank, and held dozens of people hostage at gunpoint, while news reporters followed their every move, capturing the hostage situation on live TV while it happened. They were conducting interviews with the abductors and the hostages, asking them to pose for photographs, and aiding them by giving them road directions and coffee,  drastically impeding the ongoing police investigation. Unfortunately, 3 people lost their lives because of this, and the situation brought up a unique question about the media's dramatic sensitization of traumatic events and the incompetency of the police at the time. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jaypeezy/support
