How do you stop the filming of the Oregon Dem governor at public campaign event?

[Torie]

The answer of course is pugilism.  Hopefully charges will be brought.

Come on, not another of these sketchy edited videos of anonymous provenance.

You think something was edited out which excused the dude for punching the guy filming in the nose? 

[Torie]

I see someone grabbing his camera.

The dude shoved the camera into the filmer's face it appears. I would certainly bring charges.

[Torie]

Did he have the right to film? If not, he was certainly given plenty of opportunity to comply peacefully.

And no, nobody is going to care about this. Dino Rossi had a similar incident in 2008, and nobody really cared other than left-wing blogger types. I don't suppose the "puncher" is running for office? Because Rossi's attack dog is running for state legislature a block or so north of my home district.

The remedy is not assault and battery. I hope the dude has to face a jury. And no, the Dem candidate will not be hurt by this, but he will lose anyway.

Based on what? A video where his camera is taken away?

Oh look, there's a picture at the end with some blood dripping down his face. Perhaps Ashley Todd is his make-up artist.

Let the jury decide. The camera was shoved into his face by the batterer.
