The camera was running. You have no right to film me on the street and refuse to tell me who you are. The camera running changes it from an innocent conversation.

The congressman was as jerk.

The kid should have given his name out of the box. Any credible journalist does.

Why is it impossible that both of them could have been wrong? What’s so hard about that? Why does the kid have to be free of all criticism? The congressman is a jerk.

But the kid was a hack of a journalist.

He could have be scared - or just shocked at the reaction of the Congressman. I would have had no problem giving my name or school name, but refusing to do so does not justify assault.

I’m not sure how laws are written in NC, but in Texas you have the right to use force, including lethal force, if you feel your safety is threatened. Thank God neither of them got hurt in this unnecessary confrontation though.

Yes, yes I do. I can film you, zoom in on anyone here and there, no violation of the law, no problem at all. And if you tried to stop anyone from taking your picture for filming you on a public street, you would be in jail.

Please cite the “law” that protects you from being filmed in public? You can’t because you are wrong..Kid did nothing wrong, and was wise to protect his identity from the cowardly jerk who was assaulting him....the Congresspuke should have been decked for his battery, clearly you will say or do anything to protect the pukes on the Hill....sad you would support assault on the first admendment rights....you obviously ain’t American.
