She sure caught on fast that the reporter didn't really mean, "Have a nice day." Instead, he meant, "I got your little criminal butt on videotape and you're going away for a few years."

Real bright bulb, she is.

Isn't Suleiman a name with middle east connections?

There have been a few of note. Click on "Suleiman" above in keywords.

Both heinous crimes----LOL.

The amazing part is the reporter's getting beat to a pulp and the cameraman keeps filming

This is a moral question for you. It is an imaginary situation . . .

. . . but it is fun to decide what you would do.

The situation: You are in the Midwest, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised, and infrastructure destroyed. You are a photographer out getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes.

Suddenly, you stumble across a Marine helicopter crash. It's Bill Clinton's and he's struggling to keep from being swept away in a raging river and you have the choice of rescuing him or getting a Pulitzer prize-winning photograph of the death of a President.

Now the question: What shutter speed would you use?

Well done, sir.

I'd video it and capture the one part that would give me the prize.

Just a little fisticuffs...What's funny is when one of these reporters 'gets in your face', they never expect anyone to get back in theirs...

The only thing lower than her type is Keith Olbermann's ratings.

Just saw the reporter being interviewed by Bill O'Reilly. Boy, those two are real pieces of work. How this guy managed to keep his cool during all of it is beyond me, especially when the skank went after him.
Kudos to him for great reporting...and I hope they go away for a couple of million years.

I watched this, could someone please explain this scam to me, I just didn't get it!

[caresistance]

Defending the indefensible, hope these scum sucker you on a real estate scam.

[truthkeeper]

Defrauding banks, mortgagors, and others. Something about buying houses fraudulently (in phony names), then renting them out, not paying the mortgage, and just letting them run into the ground. Inotherwords, sucking out all the rents until the banks took them back.

Sounds like they're looking at mucho jailtime.

[mystery-ak]

Thanks...I was having another senior moment...

[truthkeeper]

I can sympathize!

[Iscool]

LOL...

'Suleiman' sounds like a surname that might possibly belong to an adherent of the 'Religion of Peace'. Once again, a Crusader is attacked & the media fails to tell the whole story.

The video should put the attacker away.

. . .he will probably get an 'anger management' class.

Am wondering if he was wearing a ring. . .so as to make possible a greater infliction of damage on those who annoy him (surely his wife has been 'there' at some time).

Fox reporter, John Mattes face looked like he had been chain whipped. Awful!

May the perp pay. . .but not holding my breath.

[caresistance]

Nice reply ignoramus.
