Caught On Tape: Sacramento News Crew Physically Attacked By Family Of Man Shot To Death Just Hours Earlier [2 Videos]

Video After The Jump

I'm actually surprised we don't see this happen more often.

A news crew from Sacramento tv station Fox40 was attacked by angry family members of a shooting victim.

27-year-old Chester Jackson was shot and killed in a parking lot outside an IHOP early morning Sunday (February 20). His family gathered in the parking lot and set up a makeshift memorial. When reporter John Lobertini and photojournalist Rebecca Little approached to see if anyone wanted to talked, things got ugly.

"This is one of the hazards of the business but we didn't expect what we encountered here today," said Lobertini.

Before things escalated into violence, one woman is seen yelling at the news crew, who didn't back down. Then someone is seen pulling Little to the ground by her hair as they attempted to stop her from filming.

"When I fell on the ground I was protecting myself, and then she kicked me and I was still kinda paralyzed, and I hear my reporter John say, 'get up, get up,'" Little told Fox40

It was just an unfortunate situation for everyone. I know I wouldn't want some guy sticking a mic in my face right after a relative was killed. Hopefully the news crew won't try to press any charges.

At one point you can hear family members respond to Little saying she was kicked by replying "nobody hit you b****."

 

"I know people are going through rough times but that's still my job. I wasn't trying to get in their face and be disrespectful," Little said.

WOULD CRIME RATE IN AMERICA INCREASE OR DECREASE IF THERE WHERE NO BLACKS IN AMERICA? JUST A THOUGHT.. NO RACE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER. LOOK AROUND YOU, PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING AND DOING DRUGS ALL OVER THE WORLD. RACIST LOOK DOWN ON AFRICAN AMERICANS HERE IN AN ATTEMPT TO COMPARE THEIR BEHAVIOR TO BLACKS, AND SAY THAT WHITES ARE BETTER.. BUT IF NO BLACKS LIVED IN AMERICA THEN THERE WOULD BE NO BAR OR STANDARD FOR THEM TO JUDGE THEMSELVES; NO REASON FOR THEM TO ACT MODESTLY. AND THE CRIME RATE WOULD BE HIGHER BECAUSE OF THIS... TRUTHFULLY WE ARE BETTER OFF TOGETHER BECAUSE TOGETHER WE STRIVE FOR EQUALITY.

Oh and the irony: someone filming the whole thing from a distance. Yeah, they're angry, but they're allowed to film. Not to sound mean, but the family gathered in public and the reporters don't need permission to film; HOWEVER, they should of asked them off camera, while not filming, if they wanted to talk. Just out of respect. For that reason, I can't really blame them for being angry. Not everyone wants a random stranger pointing a damn camera in their face when a family member just died. That's really f***** rude actually. Should of stayed there distance liek dude filming.

I wish this p**** reporter, the b**** behind the desk would just say exactly what is in their minds and the rest of the FOX crew instead of the subliminal messages they are conveying..."group of blacks attack innocent white reporters"...the b**** fails to acknowledge that these people were grieving the lost of a loved one when they stuck the camera in their faces and kept sticking it there even though they were asked to stop...from what I have seen, this was a provoked attack...when people lose family and they ask to be left alone there should not be any form of debate, leave them the f*** alone...worst it just happened a few hours earlier...they wanted an altercation so they can make their racist point that black people we are animals running in the wild...f*** FOX and I wish it were one of them shot dead so someone can go stick a camera in their family's faces...
