Conservative Reporter Files Battery Charges Against Rahm Emanuel’s Staff
Chicago, IL July 20, 2012 – Criminal battery charges have been filed against top aides to Mayor Rahm Emanuel in Chicago.
I am the reporter who filed the charges and here’s the reason why:
Last Sunday, members of the media and area residents were invited to attend an anti-violence march with Gov. Pat Quinn and Mayor Rahm Emanuel organized by Rev. Corey Brooks in the Woodlawn neighborhood.
I arrived at the scene and immediately noticed that I was being shadowed by Emanuel’s entire staff.
My cameraman and I decided to roll tape to capture what was happening and we did.
Emanuel’s senior aides were caught on tape repeatedly ambushing, shoving, and strong-arming me to prevent me from asking Mayor Emanuel any questions – ironic given Rev. Brooks’ message of non-violence that day.

He’s a wuss. Guess he never played basketball. Far as his ‘reporter credentials’, he lost my ass soon as “I was like” came out of his mouth.

They make the rules, they don’t abide by them, a minor difference.

I thought Rahm liked homosexuals? (and, of course, by ‘liked’ I meant ‘sodomizes’)

I’m sorry. but this is pathetic. Technically, yes, this is battery. But seriously, most reporters get jostled worse by their colleagues. Do we really need to manufacture a story?

Yeah, that was pretty lame. And so were the “questions” that he wanted to ask. That doesn’t help the conservative cause.
