• TV3 Reporter Vs. Idiot

    This happened on the 13th of July on TV3 News, but a youtube clip of it has only come online in the last few days.

    Jerome Hughes was doing a live report for the station after an inquest had ruled that Terence Wheelock had committed suicide; a verdict his family rejected.

    Towards the end of the clip you can hear someone off camera shout something like “you fucking bastard”, the same person then walks into view with his hood covering head only for him to push it back down because he can’t see where he’s going.

    He proceeds to come up to Hughes, point his fingers so they look nothing like a gun and tell the reporter he’s going to “blow your fucking head off”.

    Hughes gives him a look only an idiot deserves, then raises his eyes to camera, as if to say “well, that’s idiots for you”, before getting his feed cut off.

    The funniest thing of all is the very clear view the guy gives us of his face when he decides to take his hood down right in front of the camera. Hardly a clever move but then again he’s hardly a clever person.
