WOW…. That is amazing.

Very true, unfortunately. It is what it is!

It is disheartening to hear of another senseless murder here in this dump of a Sacramental psycho-society. Lobertini, you are the man for protecting your camera woman the way you did. That was a heroic act and I know you’d tell me it was nothing, but it certainly was. Much respect earned. Those people should go to jail and you should be rewarded for your response. Excellent diffusion!

Why is there a second camera following the news crew? Did they expect trouble and want to get it on film? If so, they got what they were looking for!

They just lost all sympathy from me. If he was half as bad as his freinds and family, well, then there was no loss. If these people want respect for thier dead, they should learn what respect really is.

It isnt right, but It’s also wrong for news crews in inject themselves into grieving parents and friends who deserve privacy. May some review of protocol will happen. Aside from the insensitivity of it…………reporters as the same inane questions

I’m so tired of seeing this sort of stuff day and night. Stories like this make me
ashamed that I am even an adult. I want an annulment of my “adulthood”. I see
3 and 4 year olds that have way better behavior than a lot of adults I see.
These news stories make it easy to wish that you never grew up. At least
toddlers and preschoolers are very forgiving, loving, and compassionate.

They want to say that black people are profiled and harrassed by law enforcement!…..Well yeah when you act like a group of dumb animals who think there are no laws and can do whatever you want then you will bring attention to yourself!……YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID!!

You want privacy? go to your home or property. You cant demand privacy on a public sidewalk.

By the way, I have high functioning Autism and I am emotionally and socially
like a 4-5 year old anyway (I’m 34 chronologically), so I might as well annul
my adulthood. I was never an adult to begin with, but who wants to be one?
All I ever hear in the news is people killing each other and hurting each other.
I work with preschoolers at one of my local library’s Storytime and I see much
better behavior from 4 year olds. Hitting a news crew for reporting the news?
If this is the case, I want to stay far away from most adults.

Codi

All they were trying to do is report the news!! For crying out loud. If anything
they were probably there to report on the vicious murder that happened and
to lend sympathy to the relatives. Like I said, I want an annulment of my
adulthood if this is what we have come to these days.

WHO LET THE ZOO CAGE OPEN

Human beings are amazing….and very disappointing.

If this were 2 black reporters and a mob of white grievers the headline would be……. “Mob of white people attack and beat 2 unarmed Black reporters”…Sad but the truth.

Behavior of people who watch Jerry Springer. It will be a pleasure to learn of the follow-up arrests for assault on the news crew.

Amen No sympathy here either.

Behavior of peope whos lifelong dream is to make it on jerry springer!

I hope they find all the family and friends for arrest and prosecution. This type of lawlessness is not acceptable.

I agree with you 100 percent, but sorry to say, nothing will happen to them for this. Not a thing.

The group is standing in a public spot greiving for a family member. Don’t expect to have privacy if you’re in a public sidewalk next to fast food places and IHOP. I think it runs in the famly if those family members could get fired up like that and attack and beat those news employees. Just like the guy that was shot and killed. He got fired up and was in a fight. That’s a good way to go through life. Cant handle something…fight everyone in the local area. How many times do you go to IHOP and get in a fight? That’s like me going to Chuck El. Cheese’s and fighting some kid because of how he played some game. “I don’t like how you put that quarter in that game”.

Well said…but im pretty sure their kids do that at chucky cheese already!

The other camera was probably a news crew from another station, MORON….these Black liberals were imitating liberal Egyptians…I hope they will prosecute these thugs to the full extent of the law….but they won’t because blacks and gays have “special” rights….you watch nobody will be arrested for this assault and battery….your family member getting shot at 3:00 A.M. does not give you the right to beat up the media….even if we despise the liberal media….if it were white thugs beating up the media they would already be in Jail with no bail….LIBERALS SUCK…STUCK ON STUPID…BROKE AND STUPID…AND FAT.

Wow! Are you sure these aren’t the people who killed the guy last night. What a bunch of animals!! And these weren’t young people either, no wonder the guy got shot with grieving friends and relatives acting like a bunch of wild beasts! Wow is all I got!!

No. The video was shot by a crew from a different station covering the same story. Go back and re-read the article. It’s very common for more than one station to cover the same story. That’s why, when these things happen, there is usually someone else there filming. If you are going to make comments accusing someone of something, you should get your facts straight first.

KTXL was attacked, CBS crew caught it on film. Different crews.

Thank you.

More Garbage in Sacramento !

Maybe we should blame the white cops !

These african americans should be ashamed of themselves. I am just so angry that all of these americans are ruining our cities, traveling from one to another destroying everything in their path. It is about time we unite and strike against ignorant african americans. It is just tragic how stupid people can be. I am so angry i wish so much bad upon those people.

Nothing like hitting someone thats not fighting back !
10 vs. 1

The DA should be able to charge them without the Victims pushing for it to be done; it’s taped and has been aired. They need to throw the book at them, a pack of wild dogs would have behaved better (I Apologize to our canine friends for the comparison). The news crew and station should press charges and sue (not that they will ever see the money). If the DA does not go after those idiots then they are ultimately saying that they condone this behavior.

Yes, like others I can see why the person was shot, if he was acting anything like his friends and/or family it is totally understandable, that is not to say that it was right just understandable. With their behavior I would have to say that if it were the other way and guy that died was the one who shot someone they would be partying and making excuses for him. Can we please bring back Alcatraz, I think that would be a good place for the gang-bangers to be placed and fight it out. It would save us tax payers’ money; they could just feed the sharks with the bodies.

here reporters are trying to let that poor person have a name and not just
be a statistic. You can bet that reporters will most likely leave those idiots alone. Unable to see they came for them to be heard instead they act like life owes them something and the “white man” is the enemy. Sad.

America has taken yet another blow.

People, take a really good look at this WHOLE story from top to bottom. From the editors choice of the video “grab” or “still” that depicts two white people fighting and other races appear to be coming to stop it, or break it up to the way the photos have be placed on the page, the wording in the story, and finally the video. Open your eyes and ears and really see how the media has presented this story to us, “We the People”.

The last thing we need here in America is war among races.

Just because a family member was shot does not give you the right to attack other people. What this family did was complete BS.The news crew didn’t fight back, showing true restraint and rationality.

All the people who commented on this original story this morning saying “we all just need to stop blaming and pray”…Is this how you people pray?! Jesus! And thank you CBS for continuing to prove the point I made on earlier postings.

All my life black liberals walk around with a chip on their shoulder…..they are loud and look at you like they want to kill you for no freaking reason….PULL YOUR PANTS UP LOSER….WE DON’T OWE YOU NOTHING…GOT IT?….WELCOME TO OBAMAS WORLD…WE CAN’T WAIT UNTIL 2012.

Idiots…

This is exactly the type of additude / action that people have seen time in and time out. And , then the ole RACE card is played. Attacting the Camera Crew was totally inappropiate. The camera crew didn’t shoot the family member! You should be Mad at the Shooter! Not taking out your anger on innocent people. I saw the black lady wearing the white sweater kicking the camera lady while she laid on the ground…WHY? And you want to be treated with respect!! Your actions just set you back to the 50′-60′s additude! I;m sorry for your loss.

@ JusticeWarrier-You’re an idiot! Protecting the families privacy? Really? This is a puiblic place, a publci restaurant, a public sidewalk! These people acted like a pack of wolves. Disgusting! Lock them up!

I see a black man reaching for the camera. I see the camera crew trying to stop him. Where do you see two white men fighting? Maybe you should take your blinders off and see the video for what it is. Not what you want it to be.

violating privacy is absolutely NO EXCUSE to behave like that, I don’t care who you are or what you’ve been through, violence is never a proper response.

sad

After watching the 10 pm news even the reporter on the scene live won’t go across the street to the Ihop for free of their safety. That’s sad. Makes me want some all you can eat pancakes.

You are what’s wrong with America. Yes, there are some blacks who are ignorant to the core (the people in the video for example), but they were like that long before Obama. It’s not just black people who are this way, there are ignorant people of all races. The fact that you don’t realize that, puts you in that group. It’s not black vs. white, liberals vs. conservative, it’s wrong vs. right. If all you see is race and assumed political association then you are part of the problem–not the solution. There are those who know better and those wo don’t. Educate yourselves and pass it along.

I agree Bosco…

Seeing the garbage mourning (waiting for the green light to start looting stores?) the shooting “victim” I’m left wondering if the “victim” truly was. Perhaps someone had to defend against the same behavior we just saw in the clip.

It’s wonderful to be able to sit back and make commentary without exposure. Here are the fine lines of human need and curiosity clashing with an expected result. Perhaps it’s not best to get in the closest lane to gawk at a familly’s tragedy while the blood of someone who was loved can still be found about. I understand their anger. I’d challenge someone to repeat this experiment withtheir own child or loved one so we can make further comment…

I totally agree with every word and it couldn’t have been said any better!!!!

Perhaps if we were to look at it from each perspective that we would see the opportunity for humanity to kick in. Who probaly had a clearer mind set as this unfolded. Sometimes the world makes no sense, no matter how hard you might try. Fight or flight is in all of us…

WOW- i understand being upset but if it was my family member that was killed i would want everyone to know about it and try and get information as to who the shooters were- unfortunately- they are gone and you might be looking at assault charges-

What struck me when I saw this video was past news reports that the blacks say they never get news coversage when they are the victims. Well, they would have gotten news coverage and been able to talk about their grief and/or the relative that was killed. Instead they acted like a pack of wild dogs.

Thank You! I hold no ills towards the Wisconson Education sytem in this case

PULL YOUR PANTS UP LOSER……….”This is NOT a black thing, you will find many races doing it, NOR is it political.” I pray that one day you will remove the “label” that you have placed on “blacks” and see that it could be a step forward to bridging the gap that is destroying the nation.

Boscoe… and others. Perhaps given TIME. Here’s an example where hurt people are trying to find ANYTHING left behind by someone who has shared their life. You will feel like the entire planet is after you when one person steals part of your being. I wasn’t there and neither were any of us when a gunshot changed several peoples universe. Nothing makes sense while “Please and Thank You” are the first to become lost…

agreed. just because a handful of people act like animals, the rest of that race shouldn’t be blamed for those people’s actions. we are not created out of a mold, we are all individuals – some just choose to act like rabid animals.

Tell you what. When MY poorly-raised and ill-educated child manages to get killed during the wee hours at an IHOP of all places, I’ll either a) direct the mourning to a proper private place, rather than on the sidewalk of a busy thoroughfare all while somehow acting like I deserve “privacy” or b) mourn at the place of the event, fully expecting questions to be asked by reporters about who my child was, while telling them that he didn’t deserve to die so young. Deal?

I understand people do dumb things while they’re angry and grieving, but to excuse them for what happened here by saying you “understand” them is B.S.; so’s your implication that this is all OK because we’d all do the same in the shoes of these thugs. How about no?

I could take some of you for a real ride into a look on life. It’s fascinating what you might pick up along the way. Wanna make a little bet?

why does everything have to be about race? Everyone is a human being for gods sake, people’s mind set is still back in the day. I’m sure if this particular event had only white people the media would not blow it up, instead they would present it has innocent people and that there is more to the story, but the fact they were of color they are automatically at fault. If people could see beyond the color of skin…

Let me guess you allready have your’e kids in private school. Listen AAviation they are negroids. They will murder you for 25 cents and laugh at your socilogical nonsense. Dig your own hole, die in it.

If the person that was killed acted the same way as his friends and family, its no wonder someone felt the need to shoot him. the news crew wasnt up in anyones face, each of the attackers crossed a parking lot to reach the news crew. and when the crew backed off the criminals still felt the need to chase them down to continue the attack.. these people didnt show up to mourn, they showed up looking for a fight.

This whole thing is disgusting. Between the incident and the race card being played out on the comments. I have never been a racist whatsoever, but you know what? when I see tthings such as this, and hear about how apparently “racist” fox40 is showing this it really makes me take a moment to remind myself why im not a racist. All the time I hear “it’s because we’re black!” seriously, who is keeping racism alive? I just want people to get along but it is difficult when someone wants to live in the days of slavery forever and be a victim. Now Im not saying that some groups of whites aren’t causing alot of issues and Im not making any generalizations about black people. I am saying to those like the people in the video, Quit giving the “racists” a reason to be the way they are. Act like you have equal rights don’t be a slave to yourselves.

I’m so sick of people name calling and indirectly being prejudice. Yes, it was wrong for them to physically attack the reporter and photojournalist; however, these folks just lost a loved one…..media also needs to respect a grieving family. Choices could have been made! When someone loses a loved one they feel…..l like they have no control..everything is out of control. When the media seen how upset and irate they were, they should have backed up and left the situation. You will never know how you will react in this situation. Prayers go out to the victim’s family

Absolutely a deal!!!! This family and their friends weren’t equiped to deal with this situation. It might be because…

Regardless, I’d like you to msg me “Son”. I’ve got some cool stuff to share with you…

Oh…

Where did I ever present an excuse for anyones actions? Going slow it’s only an observation of what were within the realms of possible behavior. If you want an opinion, neither gets a gold star.

I hope they each get plenty of time to grieve in jail.

i like it. well put Levi. are you a public speaker? you most certainly have a way of putting it.

Why can’t I find Kurtis’ story on appraisals that aired on 2-20-11?

Some people are so primitive and uncivilized. There is no reason to behave like an animals. That news crew was only trying to do their job. I hope they press chargers on every single one of those people. We tend to let people get away with this behavior and we shouldn’t because then they think it’s ok to act like that and it’s not.

This is natomas at its finest.

I’m sorry Marc that you are able to place a skin color on anything good or bad. Actually my kids were gifted children who were at the top of their class. I lost them last year at the hands of another “WHITE” family member. Wanna go for a long ride to Texas and talk to random People along our way? I’ve shared smiles of all colors… A lot of people are losing a true picture of life because they never take the effort to open a door, nor muster enough courage to face their fears. Just for fun, stop at an AM/PM and ask only people who don’t look like you for “direction”s. Given time, you just might find one all on your own. It’ll give you one less thing to worry about and answer some questions you might have never known to ask.

What a bunch of fricking idiots, they should be all charged with assualt.

typical ghetto black people, makes me ashamed to be black.

nick, welcome to life on earth brother…

They should just be caged!!! Plain and simple.

This family is ignorant even looking at the
situation that they were mourning. They
acted like animals, no class at all. Too bad
the news people were nice because someone
else could have fought back and hurt them.
They could have told their family to move behind
a vehicle, and have a family member ask for
privacy in a humane manner. But they had to
act Ghetto

Although I don’t condone the public attacking the news media, I and surpised someone hasn’t done it earlier. The news reporters are in your face and don’t know when to back off. They should use common sense where there is a volitable situation and retreat. If there are grieving relatives leave them alone.

95% of blacks voted for Obama …so who’s ignorant?.. it’s obvious.they voted skin color only….and I am ignorant?…voting skin color is racist and ignorant….you liberals created a welfare state with millions of fatherless single parent homes…so who is ignorant?…you created a culture of dependence on working people and is driving us to bankruptcy…who’s ignorant.?…you noticed I said BLACK LIBERALS not black conservatives have a chip on their shoulder…black liberals think sagging pants are really cool especially if ALL their underware shows….black and white conservatives say PULL YOUR PANTS UP,Bro! and that goes for you white liberals PULL YOUR PANTS UP…so,who is ignorant,sir?..the Wisconsin teachers calling in sick(liars)..fine example for our kids..ALL LIBERALS…we are sick and tired of liberals like you,SIR, “educating” us about the world…get out of your house and classroom,sir,and observe the REAL WORLD….not your fabricated world from ACADEMIA….we vote you out in 2012 in a landslide,we gave you your chance and you blew it…conservatives control for the next 25 years…..we love black conservatives.. and we love.black liberals but they need to be released from the liberal brainwashing from professors and union bosses…..they would be much happier and less likely to beat and kick the media if they lived by conservative principles. I’m sorry for their loss but their liberal trained behavior is unacceptable…..95.7% of prison inmates say they vote Liberal Democrat….why,sir?…and I’m ignorant?. liberals want to legislate felons eligibility to vote… the truth of the matter….liberals are ignorant,GENIUS.

whoever these ghetto people are really just make the victim of the crime (the man who lost his life) look bad. Everyone now including myself will jump to the conclusion and just assume this man who died was probably just a ghetto punk too. When really who know about the young man. Either way it just shows why you shouldn’t act this way. Because before you know it you run into another group of people that are ghetto like you, someone has a gun and people die. It really is a shame.

PULL YOUR PANTS UP LOSER…..BLACK OR WHITE….don’t you get it?..we don’t want to see your underware PUNK.

Now you know why most other races of people do not like to live around black people”’ I know I dont””’ Its always somebody elses fault for there failures”’
American blacks as a whole are angry at the world”’I know why every black country is poor but i wont go there here”’

We need to figure a way out to not allow african americans to procreate. They are liability to this country. I hope all those that attacked the news reporters rots in hell. along with chester.

Right on…sounds like you have your pants pulled up…we need more black people like you to educate the ignorant.

Chip, this is why these people were in slavery. They need to have control over them or this is what we see. I believe there is about 5% of blacks that I would say act like humans. I have respect for Martin Luther King, he was a man of peace not violence. He had discipline and morals. I work at the welfare office, you just gotta come by and see what kind of animals come through these doors. They demand full welfare for life because their auntcestors went through slavery. Yah, but if it wasnt for your auntcestors, you would still be living in the jungle.

This is blacks at their finest.

People like you make the problem worse… Yes this was unacceptable. But because these black people dud this does not mean ALL black people act like this. My fiance, who is black, (I am white) would never in a million years act like this. He attends church, helps feeds the homeless, provides for my 4 year old who is not his biological daughter, has a degree in business, works a full time job, and I could go on. Don’t group a color as a whole problem. Group trash as trash, no matter what color it is. White people do stuff like this. Mexicans, Asians.

These people are thugs and I hope they are arrested. Exactly the type of upbringing that would cause someone to get killed. Teach your children respect and to not act like animals and maybe it could have been dealt with differently.

They love to show you their underware……PULL YOUR PANTS UP PUNKS….only liberals allow the ignorant to wear whatever they want in public

“they” meaning who??

The cameralady kindly asked them to’ PULL YOUR PANTS UP FOR THE CAMERA”….apparently those were fighting words….NO SAGGERS ALLOWED,WE DON’T WANT TO LOOK AT YOUR SCUZZY UNDERWARE.

uneducated Ni&&ers

There need to be a section where we can block people for ignorance… guess what u would be the first one … violence is not ok but there is no need for what u said … pure stupidity … u r the one who should not be allowed to procreate

Only gays love saggers.

I don’t know what’s worse for California.. the blacks or the gays.

I’m gonna go with blacks.

i woulda kicked that fat skank in the joanie if i were on the news crew..

Dan I agree with you ”” A lot of times I am in public and alot of blacks but not all are loud,ignorant angry,and the majority but not all of them that iI have worked with have been lazy,and are complainers they are always the victoms in there mind”’
As a race they are not civilized and are lazy are complainers and have a lower IQ”’ people can say what ever they want but inside they know that this is true”’
If you say that blacks overall are better at almost all sports everyone know this true ”’ But when someone says that they are less inteligent as a race another fact ”’ Everone gets mad”” It makes me wonder?

Seriously? Please pull your underwear up over your head and think about how sad your life must be to spend, apparently, a good deal of it writing stupid, racist, hillbilly comments. It’s so easy to hide behind a posting like this when you have no life and nothing better to do.

OH WELL!

Reporters do not seem to care about how families grieve, they only want to get a shot of someones pain. Here’s a thought, leave the damn family alone. Stay back like the other crew did. Idiots.

I was over in North Highlands the other day and I heard this LOUD music coming closer to me and I was thinking..dang…what kind of car is this coming and then all of a sudden a black guy on a bycycle comes riding by and he’s straped a pair of speakers and a car battery with some music device to his bike. That was the most priceless thing I;ve seen all year and I didn’t have a camera LOL.

OH WELL! There’s a person DEAD and the breaking news is about attacked reporters…He’s black & he’s dead…..they’re white and got scratched at the least…and they’ee the story of the day! What a wonderful world we’re living in!

hmmmmmm…….. when this happens in egypt (and it did)…..we expect it —but IHOP in sac? jeeeeez……our land is being invaded and the devil is staking claim…..we need to turn back. …as a people….we need change our hearts and become His warriors…for a war there is…can u hear the sound of the alarm?

what would Martin Luther King say?

When these angry, grieving folks vociferously protested being interviewed or being on camera, Derek Shore did not have to call the police. Instead, he could have shown some RESPECT by backing off. Why couldn’t the ktxl crew back off? Most of the people in the video were not attacking the news crew, but were trying to restrain the two primary attackers. This type of unfortunate but very preventable incident has happened throughout the world and is not a “black” phenomenon. In recent times there have been racists whites attacking, killing blacks, beating up white camera crews, etc. Historically, given white violent aggression throughout the world, blacks and other peoples of color could easily and with justification write ugly comments saying send whites back to the caves sealing it off forever from the rest of the world.

I did not read anywhere in the story that the person who was shot was black. the only place i seen about the people who were black was the one who shot the other person. Just read the whole sotry and you will not see anything about race for the person who was shot and killed. I think the reporters sometimes do cross the line, but also so do other people. Some people white or black will try and cause problems where they can just cause they like to.
To me the race should not matter here, only that people were attacked by a mob and with one person on the ground being beaten.
If cops did that I can almost say that they used to much force and so on. Take out the race and read that a mob attacked two other people. that is what the story is all about.

First of all they asked for them to leave multiple times and my little brother was killed all they wanted was sometime to themselves and they couldnt even respect that my family and friends just needed some time it just happened and it has nothing to do with there ethnicity it is called common courtesy and if they would have just gave them a moment and tried another day or even later on it would have not gone down like that to my fam….Hold your head and just remember Ster…..

Apparently ignorance has no color but you keep on believing that… Maybe you should look in the mirror and give yourself a reality check but I am not going to entertain you any longer just pray for Ster’s family and check your statistics more white people are on welfare in Sacramento thats what the Census Bureau is for

[...] here to see the original: News Crew Attacked At Natomas Murder Scene Comments [...]

Your little brother was killed so that makes it okay to assault a news crew? I hope everybody who kicked and punched and beat the crew get thrown in jail where they belong. Thugs. Next time, maybe you’ll learn some respect.

What is most pathetic is that anyone would try to defend the actions of the idiots in the video. Somehow it always comes back to “Respect”. If the news crew would just “Respect” the privacy of the family…..The idiot family was in public, in front of the restaurant! If they wanted privacy, they should stay home! Then some other idiot complains that the news is the story, not the murder….you idiot, if they media wasn’t attacked, they would have made the murder the story. But instead, a large group of ignorant people who have no way to express themselves except with violence, lashes out and then complains about not being respected????? That is quite possibly the stupidest thing ever written! Once again a group of idiots has made a spectical of themselves…..not exactly what MLK was talking about in that great speach of his!

You’re the idiot! If you cant stand us leave our country you low life nuthead!

I’m sorry for The friends and relatives of The deceased but this is a Public Street and even though The Reporters were socially insensative that does not give anyone The Right to physically assault them. I wish there were arrests in this case but The Reporters do not want to press charges…
If no one ever presses Charges then some people never get The Idea we Do Not Hit Each Other PERIOD !!!

First of all I’m sorry that your brother was killed but nothing justifies what your family/friends did to those reporters. It’s that very same violence that ultimately killed your brother. It makes me wonder what kind of role model your parents were for him. if privacy were an issue then why grieve in public? You could have gathered behind the closed door of your home. I hope that every single one that put their hands on those two do some time behind bars.

If you want privacy, grieve in the privacy of your own behind closed doors not in public.

name one incident in recent times where “racist whites” killed blacks, or attacked reporters. Your claims are unfounded. you are an ignorant, insipid racist. there is a reason 70% of prisoners are ethnic minorities. They commit 70% of the crimes. If you don’t like it, then try to change this within your racial culture. stop living in denial, and stop blaming whitey for your shortcomings. Why do predominantly white nations have the lowest crime rate? why do predominantly white areas of our country have the lowest crime rate. why is africa an apocalyptic cesspool of murder and corruption. Why is norway the nicest, cleanest, safest place in the world.

There is really no excuse to resort to violence and I wish someone from the family would’ve removed the distraught people from that situation before it got out of hand. At the same time, I have often wondered what journalistic value can come from interviewing the family of murder victims so close to the date of the tragedy. Obviously, there are people who are willing to go on camera; but I never understood why networks don’t give people time to grieve before asking them to speak on the subject. Whether Fox News or CBS had permission, the cameras were obviously running and none of us can really judge someone for not being in their right state of mind within 24 hours of a tragedy. It wasn’t a good idea to go to the crime scene if you are still that distraught though.

my condolences to the friends and family of the victims. i hope that you and yours find strength in being there for each other. i would also hope that you all are mindful of the fact that we are in an age where the media’s job is to get as close as they can to a story they feel will bring viewers, and when you’re in public, your expectations of privacy have to be adjusted. the journalists are accustomed to dealing with people who are more than willing to be on camera, and sometimes they lose touch with the fact that they are dealing with people who have been devistated.

These people seen attacking need to be prosecuted; as well as, taken off the streets and locked up.

While I can understand that people are upset by the death of a loved one, THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY CAN ATTACK SOMEONE !!!!!!! Just tell the reporter that they don’t have any comment and ask them to understand that they are grieving. If the reporter continues to ask them to comment, either walk away or call the police. These people showed a total lack of class by attacking the reporter and camera person. Them getting violent explains a lot about how that young man was shot. I hope the reporter and camera person press charges against these goons AND I hope they sue them also !!

Embarrassed and ashamed to be black..thats what this kind of behavior makes me feel about being black.No matter what someone else does you alone are responsible for our own actions.And then you go forth….I am sorry for their loss..Mr.Jackson’s memory should not be llost in the aftermath of violence.

Blacks… unbelievable… I feel like we have gone no where… just spinning our wheels.

This is hilarious.

larry is absolutely dumb….“racist whites” cause most violence in our world and not just in Africa

I just watched the video, and all I can say is that maybe the crew got to close to the family. But than we have to look at the family and the way they reacted to the crew. This has nothing to do with respect from both sides, the crew trying to get a story and the family trying to get a grip on what happened. We also know from the past that news crews do get to close, and family members are senitive during times like these. Lets all learn a lesson from this, stay back and let people be people. Give each other space, we so deserve in times of trouble.

GREAT ATTITUDE!!!!

Good for the family. The reporter and the photographer were so disrepectful. How many times have you seen a reporter stick a microphone in someone’s face just after they lost a family member. They got what they deserve. They should have gotten their shot from a distance just like the other camera crew. Reporters often think just because they have a camera and microphone that that somehow make them untouchable…Maybe next time they’ll think twice!!

Families want to grieve in their own way, and not with a dam camera up in there face at one of the weakest moments of their lives. They should have ask for permission to approach the family in a positive manner. Just because you are a news reporter, and you assigned to this story does not make it right to cross over the boundary and tell these people how the news media wanted this family to grieve. Media need to be respectful.

You set a “memorial” in a public area, and then go spastic when you are approached in that same poublic area by media that wants to know more about the victim. Instead of embracing an opportunity to memorialize your brother, members of your family and friends answered the violence that tragically ended your brother;s life with more of your own…he must be pruod.

Clearly, a few there need etiquette school, in class. We have all had people who have died, that is not a reason for displacement of anger, towards ourselves or others, no matter how someone died. If it did not happen to the reporters, it probably would have happened to someone else that day. Unfortuntely, the reporters were there just doing their jobs, they were at the right place at the wrong time.

why have these people been arrested? boy,if the attack was done to them they would be screaming Racial profiling. Arrest theses idiots. you know they knew the reporters would be there. ezpecially if they were there earlier. arrest them. why is nothing being done.

I wish these reporters were not attacked for reporting the good news!! I look forward to seeing reports like this every morning!! Not to worry though! There will be 3-4 more good news reports this week anyway!!

HEY !! What happened to everybody’s comments ?

People…there is NO privacy on a public roadway, pure and simple.

Unfortunately, their response to the news crew has become the focus instead of the murder victim.

YEP Everybody will want to live in sac now,to bad people dont grow up

Animals that belong in a cage.

What these people did was wrong and they should be arrested. But as far as the reporters just doing their jobs. I have had run ins with fox 40 reporters. My daughter was shot about 10 years ago and when we asked the reporters to leave us alone all did execpt fox. they followed me and my kids around they tryed to go in to my daughter hospital room in the middle of the night. I don’t know how they got my phone number but they were calling me in the middle of the night. So just doing their jobs I think not. Fox will do what ever they think they have to do just to get a story. They don’t care about the victim or their family.

That comment from Barb just posted shows that racial ignorance in this country is still alive and well unfortunately. Black or white it does not matter it was wrong to attack those reporters for doing their jobs. However for you to single out blacks and say you can expect that from them is absolutely ignorant on your part.

Where is the Sacramento Police Dept. are they investigating this for prosecution?? Not a word from them, very unusual in a high profile crime?? Are they being politically correct? Justice for all??

I am ashamed for the adult man in the group. Where are the father figures that stand up for what is right and stop something like this from happening? I see two adult man in the group and in the front leading this senseless atttach. There are certainly more issues about this attach then the reporters just being there. I would love to see the two adult man come forward to the public and explain there actions why they allowed the brutal attach of innocent people. It’s kind of ironic considering they are there because of a senseless murder of there loved one. There action are almost the same as the murderers.

violence is always their solution……..then you wonder why so many people do not like those type of people….they are adults….how sad…..their kids learn from their parents…..ghetto ville

Ken, are you saying that the Blacks are not more violent? Is this what you are saying???????????

Whats the question. Several of these idiots attacked this news team. Arrest them and enforce the laws.

After working in print media as well well as radio/ T.V. back east and some here for 10 years I can relate to both sides. This family asked not to be disturbed. End of story! Fox 40 had a job to do. Where I worked we have stopped the camera form rolling and asked for an exclusive interview with a family member. respect and diplomacy works when you try it. And to all you idiots pro and con,whatever race let go the race card! Our children are watching!

Obviously no one in that family knows how to act right. Is it any surprise one of them ended up getting killed.

Very well put Barb,
These people dont know what etiquette even means,let alone manners. They just want to attack anyone that is not their own. I can see the media trying to get info so they can broadcast to the public so someone that may have seen something can report it. These people don’t ever know what the “right thing” is to do, only to react. What is wrong with todays society? Its starts out with ebonics……..never knowing what the right thing is to say or do!!!!
AS FAR AS THESE REPORTERS, I COMMEND THEM FOR NOT RUNNING AWAY AND STANDING BY, ESPECIALLY JOHN LOBERTINI DEFENDING REBECCA, BUT THE OTHER NEWS MEADIA JUST STANDING BY AND NOT SAYING OR DOING ANYTHING TO HELP THEM, JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW “EVERONE” IS.

Here we clearly see why Chester was shot in the first place.

People with no ability, to control their actions.
No emotion control.
No mouth control, did you hear the vile language from the women’s mouth.
It is clear violence is their way of life.
Rest in peace Chester, you have escaped the hood.

A human being black, white, yellow, red, whatever color can be violent. Some people do not have self control has in the case of these individuals. Folks need to get off this racial stereotype. I was attacked in the street by 4 white men once and I never spewed hate from my mouth and said that all white people like to attack black men and are therefore violent people because it is not true.

IF, the roles were reversed, the reporters were black and the attackers were white, the FBI would be investigating a hate crime. Ironic how we live under double standards.

MONKEY SEE…MONKEY DO!

It’s a good thing that the reporter and the camera lady were big folks; otherwise, dollars will get you doughnuts that the camera would have been taken as well.

First and foremost a big THANK YOU!!! to fox 40 for the stand up job for seeking out the news. Once again CBS 13 has proven how cowardly they are to not try and help other people in need. Had Fox 40 not try to gather an interview I would have never known that there was a homicide so close to my neighborhood. Those animals obviously do not live in the North Natomas area and that murdered victim must have been passing by when he was in that IHOP. Along with reporting the news, PLEASE do our community a favor and press charges on these vile, filthy criminals. If that murder victim was anything like his family there might be link to why he was killed.

They all need to be arrested if they want a private moment do it in a private place, not on a public street. It is no wonder their family member was murdered if he acted this way, in the streets where it is obvious these people come from it is called revenge.

This is the most disgusting display I’ve seen in a while. What is wrong with these people? If they were the ones trying to get the report they would be screaming about their First Amendment rights!! Besides, you set yourself up for these type of situations by having a memorial in a public place. You are remembering the victim note IHOP!! If you stay at home or in the church, problem solved!!

Another example of a bunch of undeucated idiots.

I especially love the comments condeming an entire race of people based on the actions of a few. You have it all figured out. So, using your logic, I will never allow my future male children to attend class with a white female teacher for fear that she will molest them and I won’t allow any White adult males to be anywhere near my family because they tend to be serial killers. Ok, so do you really want to continue to perpetuate this madness? I’ve lived all over this country and have seen lots of heinous acts reported in the news. It seems that most of the violent crimes are committed by people who are uneducated and socially inept. Guess what? When I lived in towns where the majority of the poor people where white, those crimes were committed by white people. Shocker. Race is no more a predictor of future behavior than height. It is a physical characteristic. Nothing more than that. What we are dealing with here is an issue of culture. Please know that race and culture are not interchangeable terms.

Why would you have a vigil to suport someone who was killed in a fight and then fight then peeple that are doing their jjobs and trying to report it. Those people are ignorant and I hope they all get arrested since it was all caught on tape. IDIOTS!!

Channel 13 should contact Sacramento PD and find out if they are doing an investigation into these criminal acts.

I totally agree that these peoples behavior has nothing to do with their race. They are a bunch of uneducated idiots with no sense of respect for themselves or others. What an embarassment! Their vicious behavior takes away from trying to get help from the public/witnesses in solving this murder. Regardless of how media is nowadays there is no justification for this type of behavior.

My only problem with the reportrs is they were right on top of the vigil and initially you can see the people not wanting to talk to them because they turned away. Not making excuses for what they did, but they were too agressive kind of like they were in a hurry to report and maybe so due to another news crew was there.

Not pressing charges against those who assaulted this reporter is nothing short of irresponsible on the part of the DA’s office. This is clearly an assault.

Thanks! It’s comments like these which make me feel even more secure in my current employment. You’ve made my day!

You’re a smart lady. Everything you say is very true!!!

aaaaand this ia typical white response! LOL

Interesting how when Whites make comments it is derogitory racial responses. Too bad we can’t all just agree to just plain old condemn the actions of this unfotunate event. Just continue to pretend to smile and waive at your non-white neighbors, co-workers etc….. We are really making progress from the devide.. Also, for those who want to ship non-whites out, just remember, this Country was stolen from Non-Whites ( The Indians) and called it “America” The New Land. Obviously non educated has no color boundries

The “mourners” (THAT’s a stretch) could’ve just asked (or “axed”) the reporters not to run video up close. But apparently civility isn’t in the cards. Blacks behaving badly… once again.

@james

Or that Barack 0bama stamp!

I bet he was just another wannabe gangster that met someone bigger and badder, kill all the low life gangsters. Can we please go back to the good days where the whites were seperated from the blacks, and before the USA started accepting all people from other countries in. Thats when America was great now we are the great misteak….. clense our nation of all these loosers…

Waiting for Revs. Al and Jesse to show up to counsel these fine, young, upstanding people about proper etiquette in 3…2…1…

we have all these holidays for people of color, Black History Month etc. What would be the reaction if we had a WHITE holiday? I bet we would be called racists, skinheads, whatever else that could be thought of. Simple truth is that if we had a white history month then this whole country would see just how much all these troubled races have ACTUALLY contributed to this great country. Not very damn much in a positive way, that is for sure. and people like me keep on working to support a government that supports people unwilling to do their part. Wonder where the money went!

She’s an idiot.. And if she works for a prison, Then yes.. She should feel secure in her job, And can thank a Black person.

why is everyone upset he was a black gang member whats the loss again?????

I’m surprised the “mourners” didn’t break out in a looting rampage after jumping the reporters. Y’know… black rage and all.

B.I.N.G.O !!

Violating WHAT privacy? It’s a public location. Why didn’t the crowd just ask the reporters not to run video in their midst? It really, truly is OK for them not to go feral once in a while.

Typical. Would they have attacked a black news crew?
And these uncivilized ghetto animals deserve the very same rights as the rest of us?

Soooooo GHETTO! What did those folks accomplish? Aside from reinforcing stereotypes…move back to North Richmond or Oakland and stop Ghettotizing the nice neighborhoods!!!!

LOL

“Nothing more than that. What we are dealing with here is an issue of culture.”

So, perhaps you can enlighten us as to why the black areas are so enculturated with violence. The “institutional racism” argument doesn’t hold water now, because as we were told in November 2008, the Nation crossed the rubicon to wonderfullness at the election of a black man as President.

Maybe you should protect your family, By moving. Unless your Black and don’t care.

just by looking at the victim’s family members’ behaviors explained how the victim was brought up. now i am wondering if the victim instigated the fight…hmmm..very much likely. bottomline, the family need to go back to school and to be more cultured….that’s what we need to make Sac a better place.

“whats the loss again?????”

Somewhere a bling-selling pawn shop owner is mourning the loss of business.

1 less car jacker, bank robber, rapist etc OFF THE STREETS!!! NO BIG LOSS!!

Boot camp would be a good start.

LOL!

no cuz they are just as racist as some white people!!

Don’t find the humor in that but it’s exactly correct. Thought WE as a people (meaning ALL people), progressed beyond views and perception from 60 years ago. It goes to show that the white race are completely oblivious to the history of this nation. Reality is people of color (Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latin Americans, etc) are the very fabric to how this nation was built. It’s apparent that those speaking need to read a real history book, so they can speak from a position of strength and not ignorance, as such I’m reading today. In the same spirit Tracy spoke of……I should keep my daughters from all white men based upon the prior acts of how slave masters raped and violate young girls and women in the slave quarters. Or perhaps we should never enter into a business partnership because of the dealings with Indians. Or we could talk about the Japanese internment camps. When can we truly authencially celebrate ALL people (from every nation, tongue and tribe) and not for African Americans be referred to the “Obama People”! I can appreciate a good discussion on History, Racial climate of today, injustice of people groups etc. However, pure ignorance, I CAN NOT. Get a book people. I think the individuals that assaulted the news crew should have repercussions for their actions. But in the minutia of this discussion let’s not forget a life was taken. Someone’s husband, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, friend…..didn’t come home last night and is no longer living on this earth.

True…but where one falls…theres 1,420 more to take his place of ghettoness

Let me spew.. Black are more known for violence

Pretty soon they will have all of N. Natomas Section 8 like the slum they love to live in!

That’s the main reason I moved from Natomas 4 years ago. The black criminal element and behavior. That’s also why most of the new buildings on Truxel are still vacant.

Worthless animals that need to be put down!

well apparently the indians accepted the white people to this great land. is that how you treat people who came after you??

As long as its nowhere neer my house (N.Natomas)!!!!!

Well said Tracy!!

They’re like a bunch of monkeys.

Yep….and the reason I have a loaded weapon in almost every room of my house! You would figure living in a nice neighborhood (N.Natomas) you could further yourself from these kind of trash people…but sadly…no

The odds are a Black or latino will commit a crime, Odd are if you go to any prison in Ca, 75% of inmates are Black. Take the blinders off dumb azz

Well they are

It’s about common courtesy and decency. The vast majority of them don’t have it because they never learned it because they don’t teach it in their families. If you want to slam that statement, perhaps the truth hurts.

Soooo Ghetto! Good job, way to reinforce your stereotypes! “I’m sad that one of our own was killed. Now let’s go and attack a news crew!”
Does Reginald Denny ring a bell?

No we TOOK this land from the Indians….it’s called survival of the fittest!

Are you kidding. You want to denounce bigotry and racism, but you start the statement by condemning whites. How is that a bridge?

My point here is…wait…wait…wait…YOU are as much a bigot and racist as you claim others are. Sorry to break it to you.

Consider this though, ALL people are prejudiced. Simple fact that can be easily proven. Read a book if you’d like, nut remember the book is told from the author point of view, and thus, easily tainted.

Try keeping an open mind is the best bet.

Close call….there is a KFC right by IHOP

If the person who was killed was as violent as these people attacking the news crew, I fully understnd why he was killed. This is a typical example of violence begetting violence. Yes – it thrives in the Black communities everywhere. Why do you think other races are leaving the inner cities across the nation?

If you read the story the murder was the end result of a fight that started inside of the IHOP. The people outside were the “grieving” family and friends of the person murdered. I wont call him a victim until all the facts of the case come out. The reason why is the actions of the family and friends. If they are so prone to violence that they would attack the news crew trying to get the story out there then they are just ghetto, low class, most likely living off of our taxes people and the fight was most likely started by the murdered man. In the end I am sure you will see reports that the fight was gang related as well. It may sound as if I am judging before I know what happened but I am sorry the actions of the family and friends tells me the whole story. Usually I feel bad for the family and say my prayers are with them this time I say I pray the sheriffs department arrests everyone of them involved.

Stereotypical, probably just one more thug gang-banger out of our hair. The grieving relatives have about as much class as dirt!

Sadly, the comment of “typical black behavior” is factual. If you don’t like it, then do something about it black commuity. Stop teaching your black children that whitey is their enemy and that they are “owed” everything in this life. It perpetuates the minority mentality. Tell your boys to keep it zipped and your girls to keep their knees together. Sound harsh? Good! On the white side, your children do NOT have to make special dispensations for blacks in any environment. They just treat everyone the same and respect everyone the same. Whites to not owe blacks anything.

typical subhuman

Well we certainly have proof here of who did the punching and the kicking… so arrest them for assault

True. Just look at the capital of Blackness and crime.. OAKLAND!!!!!

I WILL NEVER EAT ANOTHER PANCAKE, AS LONG AS I LIVE.. IT MIGHT MUGG ME

Unfortunately these people are multiplying as we speak…. no regard for others, only they matter, abusive, ugly, and nasty toward anything they can’t understand… lack of education, family values, and just plain mean. Spread their hateful disease, kill their own community members, and for what end? Gather on a public street and call it privacy… stupidity. Just look at that little thing in the green, she’s thinks she’s so tough, and that will lead to her demise some day….. probably just like the dead guy.
It boils down to lack of self respect, and they will teach their children the same. Many of you posters only see it as black, but it is in every race, just look around… lack of civility from the top on down.

VERY WELL SAID!!

Life is a joke, death is the punch-line. If you keep up with this ignorant behaviour then you will keep getting laughed at.

Ha Ha Ha!

How rediculous! I can’t wait to see the follow up story about the people involved in this attack-WHEN THEY’RE PROSECUTED FOR ATTACKING INNOCENT PEOPLE DOING THEIR JOBS AND COVERING THE NEWS! It’s called due dilligence people! If you wanted to mourn the loss of your loved ones, then go to your own neighborhood, not a public place!

I am sick and tired of hearing how were so miss understood then they pull this act of violence. They are there are own worst enemy I wouldn’t be surprised drugs were involved. Sacramento is going down hill with all this violence just think I used to like living here.

no, it was an ignorant, stereotypical comment. who the hell is ‘black commuity’?? (what the hell is a commuity anyways?) this is not typical of most blacks. it is the actions of a few very bad seeds. get a life georgi, and stop worrying about what black people do.

Looks like Memphis, TN or as we call it “Memfrica”…27 year old black man (eg thug)…trying to find himself….and if the way his friends and family react about his death….well what can say…Typical black and latino trash…Find the people who attcked the reporters and put them in the same cell with the shooter…if they can find him…and let them sort it out…then they all can do thier drugs together…”F” them all….

it is a said day for the News Indusrty if they let the “mourning blacks ” assault their reporters. i hope proper legal action is taken againts the perps. Otherwise News Management is showing their true ” colors “. Spineless P C. cowards.
just like the perps.
I feel if nothing is done, it will just reinforce their sense of “entitlement “. Just because of their skin color …they think they have a free pass. Which kinda brings me back to the media management. Spineless ass kissers to the PC and political machine.
J.L. your cool in my world. and so is your partner.
wonder what Mayor M.J. gonna do ’bout this ?

be sure to report all of this racist rhetoric in the comments. foolish comes in all shades, just ask anyone with a child in a Placerville school.

I am a black man that was born in Sacramento and grew up in the inner city of Los Angeles, Watts to be exact. Not all black people respond to situations in this manner. For those of you that want to be sterotypical in regards to the attack, you really have no ground to stand on. All people have emotional breakdowns from time to time, and I saw more then just black people in the crowd of what you all are calling attackers. What we all need to understand is that violence as well as verbal attacks on any human being wether it be race, color, or sexual gender is also fewed as a form of ingnorance, as well as racism. Wake up America! Please, people are loosing their lives over stupidity! Oh! and by the way, my mother is white!, for all of you that call yourselves human beings and continue to discriminate for simple minded reasons! Seriously think before you open your fly traps!!!!!!

if the victims family really gave a damn about thier son, or took the time to raise him properly, he may have still been alive.

I’ll bet the family of the victim will try and sue IHOP for allowing this to happen….”Oh ma gooo’ness! Ma baby got kilt!”

I don’t get it??? well looks like there is one less person wasting space in the world !! RIP GANGSTA !!!!! YOU GOT YOURS DIDN’T YA !!!!! = )))

They’re offering a reward up to $1K to help solve a murder??? Come on! Should be more like $1M.

And where is the reward to help identify the attackers??? I bet if there was one, they’d be found alot quicker but noooooooo.

Look at the article at bottom of this page titled “MUG SHOTS”.

NOTICE how they always use a “white” persons photo and not a “blacks”

For jason written small for small minded individual! Are you the only person in Natomas or Sacramento that the DOJ allowed to purchase weapons and ammunition? We all have weapons Idiot!!!!!!!

Look at the article at the bottom of the page titled “MUG SHOTS”

Notice how they always use a “white” persons photo and never a “black” persons photo?

Gratz you lived in the hood…..Do you want a ghetto hall pass or something? Seriously it is amazing how you can so blindly turn your face to how black children are raised to hate and use reverse racism as a reason to commit crimes. No one said “all” black people where like this…..JUST THE VAST MAJORITY. I do not need to speak any more on the subject…I am sure you can find a link to Unicef and other stat based websites ran by human rights groups. Sad thing for you is the reason why the black community is because the people with the brains still want to blindly follow there lineage for no other reason other then pride. Face it the black man had its shot at Presidency and did nothing with it. Your ghetto pass has been revoked brah…have fun Uncle Tom continuing to believe that its safe to be around the majority of black people….till you get robbed or beat down for look at someone wrong.

Well said. What happened was wrong, not a black or white issue. THese people were dealing with loss of a loved one and stress and just acted out of emiotion…which they did not handle well. Maybe the reporters made comments that fueled the anger….who knows. Violence is not the answer..but hey if I am hurting…don’t get in my face…u take your chances. I am a white female over 50 who lives in STockton….Let people have their time to mourn and heal….they don’t need to have their face on the news for that….Le’t's give them a little lead way in their action for the emotions they were going thru…what excuse for a lead way should we give reporters who get in their busines….”I would give them none”…News people need to know when to back off…this wasn’t a county fair they were covering…there was real human emotions, hurt and love…treat like you would want somebody to treat your own family in that situation…

“Might I suggest you use your night-stick officer?”

Wrong. NORMAL, DECENT people would not attack camera crews like that. Tells you a lot about the “friends” or “relatives” that so cowardly attacked the crew. Now they managed to make a sad day even worse.

One thing I have to say is this, all black people are not like that and stop stereotyping. Black people are not the only people who act crazy sometimes, there are just as many crazy people in every race. You just don’t hear about them. They are not put on FRONTSTREET like black people. I don’t know if the people that are BIGOTS are aware of their BIGOTRY, But it surely seems like it. STOP the BIGOTRY and the HATERED and please get a LIFE. ( A PROUD BLACK WOMAN)
