Assault against New Mexico news videographer caught on video
An Albuquerque man who did not want to be filmed by a news videographer secured himself a top spot in the evening news Monday after flipping the videographer off and telling him to “go to hell.”
The man also snatched the videographers’s tripod and threw it in the middle of the street before getting into his truck and driving towards the videographer as if to run him over.
He ended up driving over the tripod instead.
“I don’t want to see any pictures of me on television,” the man told Jim Morrison of Univision, who was standing on a public street working on a story about a warehouse rave party that police had raided over the weekend.
The man, who remains unidentified, was emerging from the warehouse when he confronted Morrison. He appears a little too old to be involved in rave parties, so it is not clear what exactly was his relationship to the warehouse.
In fact, he appears a little too old to tangle with news videographers, but obviously you’re never old enough to make an ass out of yourself.
Morrison declined to file assault charges, but police may charge him with criminal damage anyway.

moral of the story…leave raves alone!
I love how they call it a “rave party.” That’s like saying “email message.”

If someone ran over my Manfrotto 190XPROB, especially if it was attached to my 488RC2 ball head, I’d be upset enough to file a report.
And that’s only a grand total of around $350.
Some people just have an uncanny ability to take any given bad situation and make it ten times worse.

If he had been a cop he could have taken all the equipment and arrested the photojournalist on a bunch of trumped up charges.
Albuquerque is full of people like this. Maybe it’s the high crime and all the homicides. I seriously don’t take many local photos anymore (except places like the national forest) because of it. These “old” guys are the worst, too. The cops are bad enough (especially APD) but I have elsewhere on the web documented abuse that I’ve had from citizens taking photos of sunsets.
What I can’t understand is that I can go up to Santa Fe and take photos all day without any harassment. In Albuquerque I am attacked in about five minutes.
Well now not only will he be all over the TV, but the Web to boot.
Poor old geezer didn’t realize that by making a scene he was doing himself the worst injustice. Well, gramps, welcome to your 15 minutes of Internet infamy.
Absolutely no doubt about that and you forgot to add that the reporter would have been beaten for assaulting the officer which would have been a felony charge all on the word of the lying criminal cop.
Cops are getting out of line these days since they have declared the American people enemy of the state and are training with the military to take us out.
