I’m sure you remember the story yesterday of the former CNN correspondents who were mugged in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but they were armed and their attacker was pronounced DRT. Well, an NBC news crew was mugged yesterday on a pier in San Francisco and it didn’t end so well for them. They were there to do a segment on a woman who had been killed on the same pier the night before, so you know, who would ever expect another crime to happen in the same spot?<\/p>\n
As the two were about to go on air, a man pulled up to the curb in a black four-door BMW, approached the photographer and pistol-whipped him with a gun then shoved him to the ground, the photographer and reporter said. The man then grabbed the photographer’s camera gear, and as he was struggling to get it inside his getaway car, returned to pistol whip the photographer again, the news crew reported.<\/p>\n
The reporter was not injured and the photographer suffered a cut to his ear. The photographer was checked out by paramedics along the Embarcadero and declared OK. Both returned to work later to the warm embrace of their colleagues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I remember the good old days when crooks drove shitbox cars, but I guess times have changed and crime does pay enough for them to drive BMWs. I wonder if the reporter isn’t a little brain damaged from the incident, along with her editor after reading the lead paragraph of this article;<\/p>\n
An NBC Bay Area news crew was attacked early Thursday morning while reporting a story in a mugging that injured the photographer, whose camera gear was also stolen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You’d think that someone would have had the language skills to write a coherent sentence, but, you know, I’m sure everyone caught PTSD from the reporter while they were in their warm embrace.<\/p>\n
