fake news?
that's why one always needs to zoom in to check the details

"CNN actually used image from 'Fallout 4' video game for story on "Russian hacking"
CNN just can't seem to get away from fake news. The news network actually used an image from the popular video game series Fallout during a segment on Russia being punished for its alleged hacking.

Gamers on Reddit who watch CNN were among the first to notice this gaffe. As a result, the liberal TV station has been mocked by many..."

You're sure of that? I try to be open minded about stuff like this, but the "reporter" in question has a long and colourful history of twisting facts to suit her own agenda. Truth in journalism is a concept completely foreign to her. I'm not saying the assailant was right in what he did, but there are plenty of indications here that Ms. Gunn Reid is portraying the incident inaccurately to support a selfish and less-than-honourable agenda.

There are reports that another press agency has photos from a different angle. I would really like to see what the whole thing looked like from a different vantage point. I'm not given to make determinations based on political reasons, facts and evidence are much more reliable.



Ms. Gunn Reid may have a long and colourful history, and that may also be your opinion. Michael Moore has a longer and colourful history of twisting the facts, and that has been proven, it hasn't stopped people from believing him and making him very wealthy. As much as I would like to punch him in the face, I wouldn't.


A different angle may only be mitigating evidence to the severity of the incident, or not. Ms. Gunn Reid's camera may have been on a tripod, (as the video is very steady), but that wouldn't matter. The camera hit something that stopped it from hitting the ground, whether it hit her face or chest doesn't matter. Nor does it matter if she was seen to provoke the attack, Mr. Knucklehead could have simply walked away. A threat of bodily harm combined with a threatening action still constitutes an assault whether he hits her or not. The fact that he hit her or caused something to hit her could elevate the charge to what could be colloquially called battery, causing bodily harm.


Mr. Knucklehead advertised his intent and appeared to act on it, stupidly providing prima facie evidence, on camera, of an assault. Given that this is an indictable offense, any witness would be within their rights to have detained him until authorities arrived. Ms. Fuzzy White Hat could possibly be seen as preventing this from happening and being guilty of aiding and abetting.


Funny how the leftards are so tolerant, but of only those who share their ideology.

And that they feel that it is quite OK for men to assault women under the right circumstances. It not only appears that they are fine with the assault; they are defending his actions, blaming the victim, and aiding in the escape of the abuser.

How will Canada respond to this?

Seriously, if you took that video into court with the intent of proving that the reporter had been "punched in the face" as she claims, how far do you think you'd get? At best you can prove that the assailant smacked the camera, at best.

Pretty sure the crown will be requesting all footage attained of the incident, including the Canadian Press play-by-play photos taken by Mr. Fanson. That, along with Gunn Reid's video and witness statements should clear up any confusion.

Interesting though...one thing there is conclusive video evidence of is Canadian Press reporter Jason Fanson documenting and photographing the entire exchange and physical assault, yet no mention at all of this from the Canadian Press reporting.

Hardly conclusive though. The CP photographer doesn't appear in the video until after the assailant has left, and Canadian Press is claiming that he has not photos of the actual assault, just the aftermath. Here's hoping though that something does turn up, it would be nice to have some proof one way or the other.

So far the only "witness statements" I have seen aired a a couple of girls who have appeared on Youtube claiming that the reporter is grossly exaggerating the attack.

My take...

The NDP welfare recipient protester gave the camera a cuff and it probably caused the woman to recoil...perhaps clipping part of her face. Nobody got hurt.

That may well be, but if the video proves anything it's that "He punched me in the face!" is definitely an over dramatization. That in itself should be a major clue as to just where Ms. Gunn Reid is coming from.

Assault is a crime whose legal definition varies by jurisdiction. In the criminal statutes of some U.S. states, assault is defined as “making another person reasonably apprehend an imminent harmful or offensive contact”]
How to Press Assault Charges: 12 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow
pretty sure in canada just saying you are going to hit someone is assault

267. Every one who, in committing an assault,
(a) carries, uses or threatens to use a weapon or an imitation thereof, or
(b) causes bodily harm to the complainant,
is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years or an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months.
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Canadian_Criminal_Law/Offences/Assault_with_a_Weapon

A "threat" has been interpreted to include any "menace or denunciation that ill will befall the recipient".[1]
"Bodily harm" includes psychological hurt or injury in addition to physical.

Something's a little fishy here, while he was speaking with Gunn Reid he was looking to the side of the camera, while the actual "punch" was aimed directly at the camera. I don't think she got hit in the face at all, it's just more of the grandstanding and BS that has become Gunn Reid's signature recipe.

Sheila Gunn was holding the camera, Nick and yes it was pushed back into her face. She has her own vid of the confrontation. Just saying.

The idiot protester made a giant jackass out of himself. I think that's enough punishment. The woman wasn't hurt. I think she'd be a suck if she decided to press charges.

She was holding the camera. I'm sure the details will all get worked out in court.

Interesting though...one thing there is conclusive video evidence of is Canadian Press reporter Jason Fanson documenting and photographing the entire exchange and physical assault, yet no mention at all of this from the Canadian Press reporting. No wonder people are generally getting disgusted of mainstream media and there selective reporting of facts to fit a narrative and slant. Pathetic and sad.

More selective editing by our not-so-esteemed press. For Shame. Fanson is on camera bulling his way through the crowd then rough shouldering the reporter aside and making snide demeaning remarks.

Reporter : "Don't tell me to calm down, that guy just hit me in the face."

Protestor 1: "You deserve to be angry. You deserve to be angry. I am just trying to make sure nothing more happens."



Why would a protester tell the reporter that she deserves to be angry (twice) and she wants to make sure nothing more happens? It is right there on camera.

That idiot had pure hatred in his eyes when he told the reporter to f*&k off, HH. I watched the video Sheila Gunn shot during the march and it includes the confrontation with Dion Bew aka the idiot and footage of the CP reporter. It goes into more detail then the one posted here.

Did that protester ever charge Chretien for the Shawinigan Handshake? I can't remember.

Sure he does, Loc.......as does every other person in the crowd with a cellphone. Considering the political make-up of the demonstrators/protestors it will be interesting to see if they ever surface.

Did that protester ever charge Chretien for the Shawinigan Handshake? I can't remember.


"Chrétien joked about the "Shawinigan handshake" incident by saying he mistook Clennett for expelled Liberal caucus member John Nunziata. He was charged with assault not by Clennett but by the Quebec court. But in May the case was dismissed by the Quebec attorney general, Paul Bégin."

I actually felt for the protestor in the white hat. She was clearly shaken from what she witnessed.
