Angry Mob Goes After TV Crew

And not just in Egypt:

An angry mob attacked a reporter and a photojournalist Sunday, but it wasn't in the Middle East, it was in California.

The journalists were hit and pushed by family and friends of a young man who had been gunned down the night before outside an International House of Pancakes restaurant in Sacramento.

FOX 40 News reporter John Lobertini and his cameraperson, Rebecca Little, were assaulted after approaching a group of people standing near a memorial for 27-year-old Chester Jackson set up on the sidewalk outside the restaurant.

"This is one of the hazards of the business, but I've gotta tell you we didn't expect what we encountered here," Lobertini said during his broadcast after the attack.

It's obviously not nice to attack people, but TV crews like this one show up at scenes of violence and stick cameras in the faces of people who are angry and in mourning and ask stupid questions like "how does this make you feel", and then they're surprised when the people lash out at them.  It's not really all that bright to go into a highly emotionally charged situation and ask dumb questions.
