New Video! - Audio is presented in two separate channel's to match the split screen or you can refer to the audio as "stereo" Try it with headphones or stereo TV. Video/Audio is unedited.

What should have been uneventful incident free coverage of a nonprofit group's annual open meeting, which was held in a public facility. Turned violent when an individual described as a "soldier" for the organization attacked a Photojournalist from behind.

Unknown to those in the room, including the Photojournalist, another Journalist deployed his Kodak "Instamatic" pocket camera and proceeded to; in his own words "capture a crime in progress" on video. That video has been intercut with the video from the Photojournalist's Betacam and is being made available on You Tube for the public to view.

After the attack members of the La Habra Heights Improvement Association claimed it was a "private meeting". Even though two Journalists were asked to sign the guest sheet prior to the meeting and were never asked to leave. One Journalist was even offered cookies and lemonade! Responding law enforcement affirmed the public's right to be there.

Charges are pending an investigation by the Los Angeles District Attorney's office.

  • The ONLY reason that people hate a camera, is because they are doing something of which they are not proud. Guaranteed!

  • don't put that camera on my face but do put it on my penis

  • If those hostile old coots had an issue with this guy being there, they should have had the police take care of it. But instead, they act like a bunch of fucking thugs. That old, angry bastard is lucky he didn't drop dead from a coronary.
