Reporter gets ass kicked
I’ve watched reporters throw out investigative pieces that seem to be lacking evidence. That get all confrontational with some poor schmuck. And I always think to myself Self, why doesn’t that dude knock the shit out of that reporter? What, like you never thought that? Well, that didn’t happen. Instead, some dude assaulted a reporter:
A television reporter investigating a suspected real estate scam was attacked by a woman and her husband, who punched and tackled him as a cameraman videotaped the incident.
Reporter John Mattes of Fox 6 News said he was treated for cracked ribs, bite wounds and cuts to his face after the confrontation Tuesday. The couple, identified by authorities as Assad “Sam” Suleiman, 36, and his wife, Rosa Amelia Barraza, 33, were arrested.
The article concludes with:
No charges have been filed against either in connection with the real estate allegations Mattes was investigating.
Sure, they could be guilty of the scam but I wouldn’t convict anyone based on an investigative journalist’s work.
