Because I hate the media, especially the kind that camps out in front of people's homes trying to elicit 'reactions' from victims' families.

reporter got what she deserved imo. No sensitivity for a grieving mother. |

Is "grieving" really the right word when her daughter lived and is recovering? And seriously, unleashing the hounds? Completely overboard. |

I agree. That homeowner was trash and the bottom of the barrel. |

In order to feel the mother's anger, you must be able to put yourself in her place for a moment. What we don't see on that clip is the persistent questioning. Don't think for a second that it wasn't edited.
Overboard? Not imo, should've wacked that reporter with a bat. FSA mom gets a standing ovation. |

If there was annoying, persistent questioning she should have acted like an adult and freely walked into her own house and locked the door. No need to sick your dogs on a reporter doing her job. What's wrong with you condoning sicking dogs on reporters AND throwing huge rocks at cameramen? |

Yeah, I have no doubt that news channel edited the clip to show them in the best light. Can't say what the homeowner did was "right", but I can see why many would sympathize and understand.
Now, what if that'd been a cop?  |

Haha, the cop wouldn't have been sticking a microphone in her face though  |

If that reporter had been more polite, respectful and sensitive, she'd probably gotten off easier. I doubt the FSA mom sicked the dogs on her from the get go. Maybe not though. Point is, woman has probably been through a rough time, reporters don't get that. They want reactions. The more emotion the better. It's the news after all.
Maybe not though, maybe she was a little bit trashy, did you see that top she was wearing? How about that lame cameraman that didn't help the reporter, funny watching her run down the street w/dogs chasing her.  |

| I feel a bit guilty, but that reporter running down the street in that manner with ths dogs chasing was hilarious. Benny Hillesque. Sadly those dogs will probably be put down now. |

| That was very strange. The woman shouted "dumb white bitch" at the end. change the colour to black and that could be a hate crime. |

Not could, would. It would have been considered a hate crime. That said, hate crime laws are unjust, so best focus in what she did rather than what she merely said or thought. |

It's hard to say who is right or wrong here. On one hand, unleashing the hounds on the reporter was wrong/illegal. Throwing big stones (and hitting) and then going for the baseball bat.... that was truly uncalled for.
This wasn't exactly a paparazzi call - but an actual news reporter from the local news station doing her job. Then again, news coverage today.... is becoming more similar to that of the paparazzi.
In the end, interviewing the victim's family is always risky business. Due to being emotionally distraught, they can kill you and then plead temporary insanity - go to the mental institution for a few months and be out in no time.
As such, the reporter should have approached this situation more cautiously. |
