News reporter attacked by woman and her two dogs

[Bailey Guns]

Nothing the reporter(s) did (at least judging by the video) warranted that type of behavior from that psycho bitch. Nothing.

THIS!
Whatever happened to just politely asking "Please leave me alone"? Crazy bitch deserves to have charges pressed against her. I have no idea why anyone would side with the mother, the reporter did nothing wrong.

Fail all the way around.
The reporter should have left the lady alone after it was made clear she had no interest in speaking with the reporter.
The lady had no right/reason to sic the dogs on the dumass reporter.
The reporter has no clue how to deal with a hostile dog. Hint-you don't run!

Like Riggs said in one of the lethal weapon films: "Don't run. He will only chase you down and kill you."

But either way, even if the reporter did overstay her welcome and linger longer than she should have, is that legitimate grounds to assault her or send your dogs after her? Methinks not.

Agreed. A reporter's job is to, well, report. Part of that involves asking questions. If the woman didn't want to be questioned, refuse to answer, don't go throwing rocks, pulling a baseball bat, and sicing dogs on them. Quite frankly, I think the woman's lucky the reporters didn't CC and decrease the world dog population by two.

Except for being reporters in the first place.

Sorry, but over the years I've known many reporters and worse many TV news camera men and they are truly the most reprehensible and sanctimonious parasites on the planet. They think the primary purpose of the 1st Amendment is to be able to shove a camera into the face of person going through the worst time of their life and demand they answer their questions.

I agree this lady went a little too far (and probably should be visited by the popo) but often these "journalist" types are like Labradors ... they're thick headed and you really have to smack them hard for them to take the hint that they shouldn't be doing what they're doing.

Whatever happened to just politely asking "Please leave me alone"? ... I have no idea why anyone would side with the mother, the reporter did nothing wrong.

Again I base this solely on my experience with TV news people and there is always a chance that this is the one in ten thousand case where they TV news people did absolutely nothing wrong, but I'd be willing to bet good money that if you watched the entire unedited tape that you'd see these two obnoxious reprobates harass this woman until she hit the breaking point ... I'd bet that you'd see her ask multiple times for them to "please leave me alone".

Maybe I'm a little jaded and biased and I'm perfectly willing to admit that I could be completely wrong in this case, but I doubt it.



Edited to add: Just to clarify, I'm not defending the mother here ... throwing rocks at people is a crime and she should probably be cited for assault ... I just don't buy the video that paints the "journalists" as 100% innocent victims here.
