Post-Dispatch reporter Paul Hampel was beaten, bloodied and robbed by a group of attackers as he covered the Ferguson protests Sunday night. Hampel said he was taking photos and videos of break-ins along West Florissant Avenue shortly before he was attacked. Suddenly, he said, he was rushed from behind.
“I got swarmed, beaten down really bad,” he said.
The attackers punched him in the face, hit him in the head at least three times and kicked him in the back of the head when he was on the ground, Hampel said.
The attackers took his phone and wallet and left. Hampel headed back to the police line and encountered New York Times photographer Whitney Curtis. He told her he needed an ambulance.

Wonder if he still is? (Probably)

Don’t worry. It’s not felony assault.
It’s called “protest” or something like that.
But on the bright side — not a hate crime.
White reporter covering Ferguson rioters. If I were his insurance carrier, I would cancel his policy.
Gee, I guess the demonstrators didn’t get the tweet on the ObamaPhone network that reporters are messengers of God.
No description of the attackers? Did he have blood coming out his whatever?
Actually, a liberal is a person, who can be mugged and beaten, and it doesn’t change their worldview one little bit.

Hey, Hampel, you’re in the jungle, baby
Here's a hint, Mr. Hampel: They're not your friends. Nor are they your allies in ideology.
Same goes for that political party of the left.

Liberals don’t have the type of analytical mind to understand and rationalize what goes on around them...they simply want to belong to the “feel good” crowd and be accepted into the warm and fuzzy ring of “do gooders.”
If they are mugged and beaten the “warm and fuzzy” crowd will surround them like a threatened herd of musk ox and make them feel important and loved.
Liberalism is a disease of the brain and is terminal for I’ve never known a liberal individual that ever looked at the reality of life.
An accurate celebration of the life and ministry of St Michael Brown, patron saint of blunts and common thugs.
The Post is a leftist rag.
I really don’t care about the reporter from said leftist rag.
Maybe they beat some sense into him?
I have a prediction, conservatives will give up trying to scold African-Americans, the “Lecture” won’t be worth two cents for social signaling. As the Left is doing it is letting them revert back to being Africans, cynically of course they are the Left after all, but the Right will follow as they always follow and soon blacks in this country will be just an English speaking African.
Maybe he feels sympathy towards the thugs er protesters like Robert Fisk did when he was beaten by Afghanis. "I deserved it" (paraphrasing) said Fisk. We'll see if this Ferguson guy does the same.
Agreed!
They need to send an army of white RATagandists into the battle zone.
