Georgian television reporter Tamara Urushadze was shot in the arm today while reporting on live television. Unbelievably she tries to continue her report as colleagues bandage her up. Lucky girl.

Pretty tough little gal....

[bimmer_n_me]

So if they are truly under fire, why nobody is trying get just a tad further away or hide their heads? Are they brave, stupid, or fake?

[Snurple]

Just a guess, with a couple new’s folk in my family I would say stupid.

[Danae]

Now THAT is a REAL journalist, Prayers for her! Hope she gets some medical treatment quick!

[DBrow]

Well, we saw the video of Hillary under fire not too far from there- she never flinched and did not run.

[LibertyRocks]

Wow... Pretty amazing that she continued reporting after the initial scramble for cover. Glad she wasn’t hurt badly, and glad she has a flak jacket now (one wonders how many they have, and why they all aren’t wearing them! I would!).

Damn cowards shooting an unarmed female reporter!

[LibertyRocks]

None of the above - try SHOCKED. Being shot at by a sniper is a tad bit different than being on a “live” battlefield.

[MrLee]

I thought the Russians were on their way back to Russia?

[bimmer_n_me]

Yeah. Same playbook. There are so many false accusations flying from both sides, so you have to consider the source.

Lucky girl.

And a very brave girl. And not hard on the eyes either.

[Panzerlied]

I just can’t imagine Perky Katie Couric doing the same.

"Right! I'll do ya for that!"

[Snurple]

I just can’t imagine Perky Katie Couric doing the same

Couric would hemorrhage if she broke a nail.

[Snurple]

LOL

[DBrow]

Hillary was lying. The reporter here really got shot, you could see shock starting in the video. She went down after she got hit, too, the impact and OMG factor is huge.

Then, blood and shaky voice and all, the show must go on!

I thought it sweet that the crew put the vest on her, while she’s in the van, and they were outside the van. Chivalry is not dead.

[Republicus2001]

I remember there used to be a “perky” teevee personality called Katie Couric back in the 2oth century. I wonder where she is now.

[Snurple]

Separated at birth......

[Hoffer Rand]

Hey, if your thighs created that much static charge when rubbed together at high speed, you wouldn’t run either...

[Artemis Webb]

TOUGH
GUTSY
WOW!!

[trisham]

Wow! What a brave woman! We could use someone with her courage here in our country.

Try principled. From reading your Putin toady posts, I'd say it's a concept you wouldn't recognize if it bit you in the arse.

[dirtboy]

There are so many false accusations flying from both sides, so you have to consider the source.

We can figure out your source. Pure Russian propaganda. Only a complete cowardly a**wipe tries to impugn the bravery of someone like this crew.

You tell us.

[dirtboy]

The poster in question seems to have a strong understanding of possibilities 2 and 3.

[bimmer_n_me]

I don’t know. You tell me what you see there.

[trisham]

I see a brave woman. What do you see?

[trisham]

****************

Perhaps he has no personal knowledge or experience of possibility 1, so he can't imagine it to be true.

[dirtboy]

I think his idea of bravery is removing his mouth from Putin’s backside without getting Vlad’s permission to do so first.

[Paul Heinzman]

I see a brave woman. What do you see?

So do I; bimmer sees kitties.

[trisham]

Some people have an agenda that precludes any consideration of reality.

[trisham]

FReepers are schmart. :)

Further info, found here:

Georgian Public Broadcast TV said on Thursday that one of its correspondents was injured by a sniper while reporting live from the checkpoint outside the strategic city of Gori.

Footage from Georgian TV showed Tamara Urushadze avoiding an unidentified object and later falling to the ground.

Crew members around her began to cry, "a bullet, a bullet" and "she got shot".

The reporter regained possession of the microphone and spoke again into the camera.

"Right now I got a shot with a bullet, but luckily I didn't receive a direct shot, it scratched my hand," she said, while showing her injured arm.

Meanwhile, another crew member helped her into a bullet-proof vest.

"Supposedly it was a sniper, because the whole day today behind us snipers were standing, I think it was some kind of a bullet. I can't say anything else right now, because we can't see anyone here and I don't know who made a shot," she said.

How come only one shot? It didn't appear they were protected from further fire.

[BlueVelvet]

That’s funny!
And the media let her get away with that story!!

[VeniVidiVici]

How come only one shot? It didn't appear they were protected from further fire.

Probably a drunk Russian/Chechen/Abkhazi soldat fu***** with what was obviously a news crew.

[DBrow]

“How come only one shot? “

I heard three. Could be two shots, and the first noise was flight crack, but I heard three thumps.

Then everybody took cover behind the news truck, one brave guy breaking cover to get the camera.

[Petronski]

Are they brave, stupid, or fake?

Which are you, tovarisch?

[Northern Yankee]

A brave woman indeed.

[aligncare]

What you must understand is the Russian troops follow no convention of civilized behavior in this illegal action in Georgia. They are ruthless and capricious.

God save the Georgians.
