[Slippery_When_Oiled]

Did you see this story … it’s been all over CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News.

Peter Silverman, a 75 year-old reporter with City-TV in Toronto, had been doing a series of reports on Adam Plimmer, a 33 year-old a Toronto Optician, who had been alleged to be selling counterfeit frames bearing brand-name marks.

Take a look at the clip … the attack was got on tape by the cameraman who was standing right next to them.

Similar incident was also videotaped recently in San Diego, California area when an investigative reporter was attacked and severely beaten by the principal of a real estate development company he was investigating. That was a much more significant assault than this one was.

However I would have to say that this Toronto guy ends up looking like an even bigger asshole and his business is probably finished as a result of this incident, whether he gets the criminal charges favorably resolved or not.
