Channel 2 Camera Man Attacks Protestors At Federal Building

by hmm
Along with a few employees wo rushed protestors desperate to get to their jobs, a channel 2 camera man for no apparent reason rushed and hit several protestors in an attempt to get into the federal building.

If anyone has videotape of this incident or a picture of the camera man hitting the protestors please post it here. I wonder what Channel 2's coverage of this protest will be like? I guess you would expect this type of behavior from Fox.

All the mainstream media was in full force last night but where is the coverage? my friend with cable says he's scoured the stations looking for coverage on the Fed. bldg protest but nothing is being reported (but news about the DC sniper). Also, where was the media this morning 7 am - 10??????

But on a positive note, this protest is one of the top Reuters stories now On the Yahoo News Wire:

Channel 7 just had good coverage (some also on another station I forget) , interviewed a Fed employee who agreed with the protestors, showed the Feinstein event, interveiwed another 'regular' man who spoke against Feinstein, and pointed out the bizarre nature of police *lifting* employees over the barricades!

One person arrested, they said - but we were there and didn't see anyone arrested, even quite awhile after all had left.

Also, Dan Rather just covered a human interest story on a father whose son is in Guantanamo Bay wrongly, saying that at least 60 people being held there appear to have no reason to be there.
by yeah right.
Just look at his face. Does he look like one of us, or what?
by yeah right.
Just look at his face. Would you trust him to give you the news? Yeah, right. He is not of us, nor for us. Onwards anti-capitalists. We have a world to win.

You seemed to have a lot of great shots there...Where are the pics of the assault ?/ Did you run out of film ?? Did bigfoot steal your camera ??

Pretty lame.....why do you think that you are immune to being shoved around a bit when you impede somebody's path...Block my path and I'll show you what liberty is all about....

The whiniest protesters ever reside in SF....When is your next protest prance ??

Congratulations to all Bay Area anti-war protestors from Britain! We are following your anit-war actions very closely. Keep up the good work! We had 400,000 people on an anti-war demo in London a couple of weeks ago.

You need to get laid. Seriously.
Or take a vacation.

Or something. Negativity is not helpful here.

"Randy" ... yah the name makes him sound a wee bit desperate doesn't it?
I wonder if chicks are impressed with his spamming of IMC. "Oooooh Randy!!!"
Speaking of whining ... why the hell do these trolls bother posting here? Why don't they go back to their spamsucking brethren at Free Republic and exude sexual frustration and self-hatred in like company?
