Here is bizarre video of a woman attacking a camera crew with a garden hoe (she just happened to have one in the house)when they came to her house to ask questions about a woman who had called police. But instead, the woman who came to the door went after them. The video below gives more details on the case and shows the attack from a slightly different angle . . . . (Watch Video)

The press w/ a camera showed up at her door because someone called the police? If more people treated the press that way, they might have more respect for privacy.
On F&F after the break.
I think they were investigating an underage stripper. It sounds like they hit paydirt.
TV news crew attacked with hoe
Police: Underage dancers at strip club
COCOA BEACH, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Two underage teenage girls were arrested for dancing semi-nude in a Coca Beach strip club on Friday night. The attorney for the club, "Playmates," said both girls presented fake ids, indicating that they were over 18, the legal age to be an exotic dancer in the State of Florida.
Police said the girls were wearing “tiny bikini-type outfits” and that they had been working at the club for months.
When a FOX 35 crew arrived at a Cocoa home to seek out relatives of one of the underage dancers, an older woman answered the door shouting expletives.
The woman then chased the crew off the property with a garden hoe, striking at a cameraman from another television station.
Not long after the confrontation with that woman, another woman contacted FOX 35 reporter Holly Bristow, claiming that she was a sister of one of the dancers. She said the publicity surrounding her sister’s arrest resulted in her to be "kicked out of school."
The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Department of Children and Families are looking into the case.
The family home of a girl I dated many years ago had a fire. Countless memories for this family that had all their children grow up in it.
In spite of family members requesting not to do so, two TV news reporters felt it very necessary to go into the home to shoot pictures of the damage. The TV reporterettes also felt it necessaryto ask her sobbing parents, “How does it feel?”. Some shoving, some language, and some fists flying... they got the message. I guess the hardship wasn’t enough, so the TV crews had to pile on.
First reaction to this story is a loud bravo for the homeowner for giving the big FO to the uninvited news crew. Second recation is that it sucks that she will now be the subject of countless jokes, not the news crew.
When my daughter was 11, she and her friend found a dead body. The press hounded these girls for weeks. Even staking out their elementary school.
I could not believe they actually set up a studio in our drive way/street.
It was disgusting.
(The other little girl really suffered because of this, her dad refused to let her talk to anyone about the issue. We tried a different approach, my daughter would not talk to anyone unless they paid her. She set up a lemon aide stand and charged the crews $5 for each tiny cup of lemon aide and got the reporter to buy pizza everyday for her and her friends in the neighborhood.)
Police investigate. The media fish for headlines. I'm amazed they even got the address right.
An excellent entrepreneurial lesson for the lass. She will go far.
