“A person who was at the incident, but did not participate in the violence, told the local news station that it was an emotional day and people were mourning the loss of a loved one.”
Obviously, the “journalists” didn’t care about that.
Did you see the video?
This event occurred on a public sidewalk, during the day, in front of an IHOP.
Why shouldn't a journalist be there?
On this one, I tend to sympathise with the mourners. The press hovering around like vultures as they do was bound to provoke a reaction like this.
I’m only surprised it took so long.
If the press wants to ask insensitive, intrusive and inane questions (How did this make you feel?) they should invite people to a neutral spot and interview the willing people there, not interrupt a private gathering, (even if that gathering is on the street) and try to force questions onto someone who is struggling with a loss.
