News reporter attacked by woman and her two dogs

[3beansalad]

Can we add this to the long line of reasons to carry concealed?

It's a sad world indeed, and dirt bags like the mother don't help. Hey lady, go inside and close your damn door. They can film from the street if they want... but going full retard on TV never helps your cause.

Love the ending though, "...ya dumb white bitch...."

As much as I hate the media, I am a huge advocate for Free Speech and the first Amendment. The media reporter was exercising her right to freely "report".

How would you guys like it if you were exercising your right to open carry and someone had their dogs attack you and started throwing rocks at you just for exercising your rights?

Sometime you have to take the good with the bad with all our rights. Its called freedom.


...But I still do feel for the mother.

[Ah Pook]

My first response was cheering the lady and her dogs. The bottom feeder was asked to leave. She should have. This is a common tactic for reporters use to get a "good" story.

I'd bet there is a lot more footage then what we are seeing.

And if the roles were reversed and it was a white lady calling a black reporter a "dumb black bitch" it would have become another (double standard) issue. She would have been called a racist and would have been charged with a hate crime for sending the dogs. That's what would have made the local headlines...

They should have left after the rock was thrown. Stupid on both sides. I only feel bad for the dogs.

Agreed. We don't have all the facts on any of this. Except that the woman's daughter is fine, and already released from the hospital.

Totally agree, and like RGIII, I am disgusted by the tyranny of political correctness.

LOL. Steatopygia.

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

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.

Good, more news media needs this type of treatment.

[trlcavscout]

I would be more interested in seeing the unedited tape. The news media is BS, especially when they can make themselves the story.

This!!! We all know nothing goes out without some touch up. Look at Rodney king.
