Occupy Attacks!: Occupy Portland Attacks KGW News Crew!

BREAKING (Viewer Discretion Advised) Dateline November, 8, 2011 - Mostly RAW Apologies for being long, but the entire video is good. A KGW News Crew was attacked by Occupy Portland while a Citizen Journalist films. Quote the attacker: "We are the 99% and we don't want you in our society!" The attacker uses profanity and insists to a Native American member of the News team that he (the protestor) is the actual native American. While the angry protestor insists he does not want violence, he continues his tirade and a lengthy provocation. Some shoving ensues. He eventually has to be taken away by the Portland Police. At the end the KGW reporter gives a short interview. In 8 years of working in Detroit the reporter has not seen anything this bad. The individual attacker has attacked the reporter before.

The guy was real tough in front of the news camera crew, but as soon as the police show up, he turns tail and run. Would have loved to see him shove the police like he did the news crew.

@Timsierramist cop almost daring him to do it. would have been good to see it.

This is a representative of the great unwashed meth heads.He keeps talking about he's part of the 99%.If he represents 99% of America, God help us all . That one makes me want to go get in the shower. I suspect,he has been a bum all his life,by choice.

Also. The KGW TV Crew are All American Patriots for standing up to their rights of freedom of the press, and not being intimidated to leave. Good journalism! Had I been there, this OWS punk would of probably been knocked on his ass as soon as he put hands on me.

This OWS meth head protestor DOES NOT, repeat, DOES NOT have 1st amendment rights to continue to verbally assault the TV crew. He continously uses "fighting words", as outlined in the supreme court case Chaplinsky V. State of New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568 (1942).

These protesters are all a bunch of spoiled kids. They sound like it too.

OWS is worse than the terrorists.
