Here is an example of societies finest citizens in action. I truly feel for the family of Chester Jackson, but the news crew was just doing their job. All the family had to do was say “back off”. Senseless violence. The photo shows the reporter being confronted.  Track em down and lock em up…

From FOX40.com:

NATOMAS —A FOX40 reporter and photographer were attacked while covering a murder investigation in Natomas.

Early this morning, a man who friends identify as 27-year-old Chester Jackson was shot and killed in a parking lot outside an IHOP in the 2900 block of Advantage Way. Sacramento Police say it started as a fight inside the restaurant.

Friends and family gathered at the scene Sunday and set up a memorial with candles and balloons.

When FOX40 reporter Joe Lobertini and photojournalist Rebecca Little approached around 4 p.m.  to see if anyone wanted to talk about what happened, they were attacked.

The attackers pulled Little to the ground by her hair and kicked her in the face. Lobertini was also punched in the face.

Both are shaken up but are doing okay.
