the channel 9 cameraman was a bit keen, if he's behaved like that more than once I'm suprised he hasnt been bashed/stabbed.

What I don't understand is who the "Terrorist" slant was aimed at. Dad or the son. I'm not condoning the use of the word, but put it into some context. Actions by the son as a rioter (I think it's yet to be proved) could be seen as an act of terrorism, especially if by standers were in fear of their lives. I think it's more like an act of vandalism. But was the comment aimed at the son or the father? I say father. Dissapointing. But what can you expect from media. Never let facts get in the way of a good story.

Ps Given the circumstances, I think the "terrorist/vandal/rioter" son remained surprisingly sensible about the whole thing.

of course he's a terrorist, al qaeda always ask people to 'stop please' 25 times before resorting to stronger words.

personal opinions aside. i think those two handled that pretty well. this is gutter journalism at its best. "just doing my job" doesnt cut it for me. mainstream media wonders why they cop so much flack. thank god for mediawatch !

I would have probably given him a knuckle sandwich if I had to tell him twice to get lost.

Simon fuller should be sacked without question. In the circumstances the father and son acted rather calmly. Channel 7 and Channel 10 should be very much ashamed of themselves for showing the confrontation in the context they did.Any wonder why i and many others have lost all confidence in the mainstream media organistaions of this country,
While i don't agree in any way with the way the son behaved during the riot nobody should be harrassed so badly while walking down a public street, I would almost go as far as to say the camera crew be charged with harrassment after watching that footage. They were asked so many times to go away politely and refused. |

As far as I'm concerned the reporters were reporting on a valid news item , The "subject" is just criminal scum who assisted in the destruction of someone’s business assets for no reason what so ever ( the store involved is only a franchise and is not owned by bob janes but he was obviously too stupid look into this before his criminal rampage )
He has no right to privacy outside the court house unless so ordered by the court. His actions made him a target for public ridicule and his father was defending his son when if he had any decency he would be trying to bring his son onto line. If he is not happy with this he should refrain from criminal activity The most disappointing thing I have seen in this thread is the sentiments that acts of violence against cameraman would have been a good reaction (like the moronic comment quoted below) too many people feel a smack in the mouth solves problems, are we heading back to our convict roots????? Violence is never the answer and never should be. It’s about time the criminal scum who try to use destruction and violence to try to get their way ( is this not a terrorist act by definition ) be treated with the disrespect they deserve Quote:

i couldn't care less what language was used more so how it was used, trying to get a rise. Anyone else would have knocked him senseless, if a gang member or bikie was outside court having just been there for a drug dealing charge, and was harassed and hounded and provoked like that by a camera man I'd be surprised if he didn't react violently. Just sayin..they need to watch who they provoke. |

And his father showed great restraint and told his son not to react to the camera mans rudness and racist comments. Quote:

"Terrorism" as such is a term specifically used to define a certain act..... Not used when a bunch of teenage idiots riot in the streets.

Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms. US Department of Defense 2005. society today seems to forgive acts of violence as being just a bunch of teenagers but the behaviour involved in the riot was an act of terrorism if you examine the motives and tactics used violence was used in an attempt to have a decision overturned

Clearly the cameraman was doing his best to elicit a violent reaction so the news department could stitch them up even more with the bollocks they ran as the news piece. That's a lot more concerning to me than some clown kicking in a window. |

Yes I watch that last night.
It was absolutely disgusting what they did and he should be sacked, not stood down. In typical fashion CH7 and CH9 showed a completely different story on the news about the altercation. Mindless morons who goaded a father and son because of their religion. (Hence the terrorist jibe)..... Sickening to see such actions by a so-called professional cameraman The son showed great restraint and his comment at the end about "profiling" was spot on!!!!!
