Woman arrested for the assault on TV crew on assignment

[likeitfast55]

I am torn on this, I have watched this now several times.

On one hand we have a violent woman that wanted to do harm to the reporter.

On the other hand I loath reporters that stick their microphone in your face to get

an instant reaction for their ratings and further their careers. IE: getting the story.


Defiantly violence is not appropriate in any situation, especially when you are on TV.

But what would have made the reporter leave her alone? The dogs did for sure.

[Clifton]

Very good dogs.

[Broncojohnny]

Would have been great if the camera man would have shot those dogs, the reaction would have been priceless.

[Sean88gt]

A lot of savage animals in that video, 2 dogs, a dumb white bitch and a nigga with a camera.

[Ldecharmoy]

Probably mad cause her welfare check was late...

[SS Junk]

No, she wasn't wanted and didnt leave.

Doesn't matter if she wanted them to leave. You can't order someone to leave if they're not on your property. She could've easily ignored them and went into the house.

or she could be mad because her child was killed?

Get out of here with that common sense, this thread does not need that.

The reporter was just doing her job and was on public property. As a parent I can understand why that woman was upset but all she had to do was say "no comment" like stated above.

[dumpycapri85]

As a parent I understand also but that is a perfect example of a person directing her anger towards someone who had nothing to do with what happened to her daughter . I feel bad for the mom even if she showed her lack of good judgment . I don't feel bad for the reporter because they are scumbags who spread gossip and if we didn't have people like them then maybe people would spend more time working on there own problems instead of being so concerned with other peoples lives they have no business being informed about .

[JP135]

So she called the reporter a white bitch after turning the dogs on her. Would that be a hate crime?

Oh yeah, I forgot the white person doesn't qualify; she's not a member of a 'protected class'. Put the shoe on the other foot and Al Sharpton would be leading the riot.

Her kid wasn't killed. She was just shot.

UPDATE: The woman who attacked the ABC6 crew has been arrested and charged with two counts of felony assault with a dangerous weapon. She is scheduled to be arraigned in Providence District Court Wednesday afternoon.

An ABC6 crew was on assignment in Providence when they were assaulted in broad daylight. It started with a question that led to a violent response. The crew was on Public Street in Providence, attempting to get reaction from the mother of the teenage girl who was shot at a graduation party over the weekend.

Instead of declining to speak on-camera, Melissa Lawrence replied "OK, that's good," and then suddenly hurled a rock at ABC6 photographer Marc Jackson. The rock just missed the photographer's head. The crew then started to leave, but Lawrence came out wielding a baseball bat. She then told her two dogs to attack.

You can hear the screams as Lawrence's dogs chase ABC6 reporter Abbey Niezgoda into a backyard a few houses down. Lawrence yells commands to the dogs. Finally, Lawrence calls her dog back while yelling curse words at the crew.

After seeking medical attention, the ABC6 crew filed a police report. Niezgoda was a treated for a dog bite on her forearm. They were never on the woman's property and were attacked right on the street. Police are in the process of putting together a warrant for Lawrence's arrest.

Meanwhile, Lawrence's daughter has been released from the hospital and is currently recovering from a gunshot wound to her lower back.
