Brightside, nobody deserves ANY beating, man. If I am in your house, with my camera, you can kick me out, or shoot if you want, but you will be caught for that. If I expose you to be someone committing a crime, should I get a beat down? If you haven't done anything wrong, no one should record anything you do. All I am saying to you, Brightside, is that those comments of "blah person should get beat up" only throw gasoline on fire. Clear things out, talk it out. Don't beat up people. Tells what lot? It was TWO DUDES against one, so the cameraman possible couldn't have helped TOO much. Explain "tells a lot", please... I just want to know what you meant by "tells a lot"...
Sure, that other guy did try to get the guy off the reporter. If the cameraman would have helped pull the credit fraud guy off the reporter, I don't think he would have been beaten as badly. Even with the other guy trying to break up the fight, the suspect still has his hands around the reporters head and throat and then manages to pull the reporter down to the ground where he continued to be struck. If the cameraman puts down the camera down and helps, they should have been able to subdue the attacker without anyone being hurt too badly. I just don't understand why the story always come first with the media, though I realize it's their job. The fight/scuffle wouldn't have lasted the six minutes until the police showed up though if the cameraman had even tried to help, imho. Again, if I haven't made this obvious already, my point isn't to defend attacking the reporter or to say fraud is ok. I just think it's ridiculous that the cameraman didn't put down the camera to help, and it's that mindset that adds up to the overall mentality of the media that I don't particularly care for them.
White collar crooks like this should be in prison for a LONG time, and I know, I just worked for a few of them at Gizmondo.....and they had the same intimidation crap they tried to use on investors. Until the investors took a shotgun and stuck it down the Chairman's pants, and he left the UK for good within 2 weeks. I have no sympathy for crooks... DD
If I were the guy getting beat up.. I'd be yelling for whoever was filming it to come help me or go get someone to help Dedication to making sure it is on film though I suppose...
The cameraman has probably worked with the reporter before. It wouldn't surprise me if he was instructed to keep filming when a scuffle ensues. Catching the guy and and his wife on tape (and putting it on youtube) is probably the best way to expose thieves like this.
i love how the reporter is just grabbing the assailant's leg in the end in an attempt to do some harm ahaha
