Attacker tries to apologize to reporter

One of the people that attacked WSPA reporter Charmayne Brown, apologizes, in hope of a light sentence or just getting community service. We'll follow up later with the judges decision to see if this stunt worked.

------------------------

Three people upset that a news crew was reporting on the arrest of a relative attacked the television reporter and yelled racial slurs at her and a photographer, authorities said Tuesday.

The family members, all white, began yelling and charged at black WSPA-TV reporter Charmayne Brown while she was standing in the street near the family's home in Union, said news director Alex Bongiorno.

Brown was punched in the head, and black cameraman Ti Barnes was also struck as he tried to pull family members off Brown, Bongiorno said. A video of the attack shows Brown, who wasn't seriously injured, defending herself. Watch how attack unfolded.

All I have to say is don't apologize. If you were bold enough to attack her and say the things you said, don't act like it was spur of the moment and you didn't mean it. What happened was you didn't mean to get caught. The one thing I hate is an undercover racist. Again if you're bold enough to say it, then be brave enough to suffer the consequences.

I think she's sorry she might go to jail. That's all.

@JessOnTheRun ya we expect them to act civil..#1 u act they they were interviewing them, they were across the st on PUBLIC property not once speaking to them at all....#2 why the racial comments? Their WHITE grandfather was killed by his WHITE grandson...I for one if in their shoes would act civil and decline comments LIKE NORMAL PPL.....all they did was PROVE the point that they are uneducated animals and that the son is most likely GUILTY cause the apple don't fall from the tree .dumbass

@JessOnTheRun Nice try moron, it was the families relative who committed the crime the news crew was reporting on. You're the dumb ass, way to find justification for wildly inappropriate, trash behavior. Do you lie down on your stomach and kick your little feet on the ground when Santa doesn't bring you what you ask for at Christmas? You're a racist piece of shit, internet tough guy, who can't even be bothered to take 30 seconds to check your facts. Which makes you kind of a retard as well.
