'Situation becoming unsafe'; Reporters forced to flee Charlotte as rioters attack media
Bizpac Review ^ | September 22, 2016 | Frieda Powers

As violence escalated in Charlotte, N.C. Wednesday night, reporters became part of the story as protesters turned on the media.

CNN anchor Don Lemon stopped the broadcast feed as a CNN camera crew was confronted by rioters who attempted to block the camera yelling “F**king liars!”

“As happens in these particular situations, the crowd gets out of control and then they try to assault or at least intimidate our camera people and our news people,” Lemon said.

Fox News reporter Steve Harrigan got into a verbal confrontation with a woman he was interviewing when she accused him of wanting video to “make a f**king fabricated story” about what was going on.

At this point, I really don’t care about American or Global Uniparty “journalists” in danger or whatever. I only hope that those few UK journalist videographers and photographers and reporters who seem to be the only ones reporting the truth remain safe. The rest of the Democrat/Liberal journalists can go to blazes.

This is anarchy, and liberals wonder why Americans want to buy guns for personal protection. Sheesh, the police are allowing mass rioting, property damage, larceny, etc. without consequences.

And the media allows the false narrative to continue in effect throwing gasoline on the fire.

Saw the CNN guy get knocked over. I felt the urge to cheer.

The sheer incompetence of the Charlotte city adminstration and the “law enforcement” agencies is now evident.

Charlotte is a city where no intelligent life forms are in control.

Interesting how they turn the cameras off when journalists become part of the story.

Maybe if the media just went away, and a moratorium imposed on reporting any of this stuff...at least on television.

Where are the people that are defending themselves from these law breaking hoards? Mow them down a few times and they will have the respect they want when they become law abiding.

I was watching FoxNews when their reporter asked a Black woman why she was there. She went on a lengthy anti-white rant. I was thinking ‘why doesn’t he cut her off or just walk away’. And then realized he was in jeopardy from the thugs standing around her watching what she was saying. I cannot figure out why these reporters stick around when anarchy reigns. Get out! You are just giving them coverage that we don’t care to see! And I am getting fed up with ALL WHITES being categorized as racist.....gross generalizations abound when a white person is being targeted by the BLM thugs. Thanks, Obama! /s

This rioting crap has been ALLOWED to take place. The mayor & police chief should have announced they had a video to prove the perp had a gun on day one! And further more, last night’s rioting, destruction and looting should have never had the chance to get started. If the mayor had announced they were enforcing zero tolerance for anything other than peaceful protests, that would have been the end of it.

Tip-toeing around these racist thugs only emboldens them.

But, but... Black Lives Matter.

Surely, CNN can sacrifice a few on-scene crew members for The Cause?

If these throw-backs hadn’t learned the f-word, they’d have to grunt.

The MSM ‘journalists’ reap what they sew. Waiting for un unequivocal condemnation from Hillary with no buts or howevers. That guy’s blood is on Soros’ hands. BLM, my arse.
