I know this woman is a scum bag who should be in jail for many things, at the same time I can’t feel too sorry for a photog or reporter who gets slammed in the face. Actually, there is no excuse for this type of behavior and just demonstrates who arrogant this woman and her husband are.

If he was close enough to her to get punched.... he deserved it.

I personally consider photographing someone without their permission to be assault or at least a gross violation of their privacy.

I agree that the victim in this case is not one who inspires any particular sympathy or compassion from thoughtful people....there are many 'journalists' whom I would wish a similar fate. 

This sentiment is a direct result of what the 'mainstream journalists' have become....mere shills and cheerleaders for the hard Left who shrilly profess objectivity while being brazenly partisan.  Nobody likes a self-righteous charlatan and most MSM 'journalists' are Exhibit A for that loathsome title.

That being said, part of being any sort of celebrity or politician in the public eye is that along with the various perks comes the necessity of learning how to deal with overly aggressive and trashy pressmen.  Imagine the intense media attention that someone like Raquel Welch has had to endure throughout her entire adult life, yet we never hear of her being anything other than gracious to these vermin because she has class.   (I hesitate invoking Raquel Welch's name in an article about the Mugabes but I think that it's an effective analogy also in the sense that she brings incredible beauty to the world while the Mugabes bring only widespread murder, unimaginable suffering and astonishing corruption)

This article illustrates, among other things, how utterly low-class and evil the Mugabes are in that they are unable and unwilling to deal with an ordinary and basic but unpleasant part of what they have become....their only response is direct personal violence, and it shows how primitive they really are despite their mountains of stolen riches.  They arrogantly assume that they can go anywhere and act in the same way that they do in their lovely Zimbabwe, and sadly this is apparently true at least in Hong Kong.

Some things, however, simply cannot be bought and I'm very glad for that.
