"Punched 10 times?" Not in that video.

They may have "bitch slapped" him 10 times but punches would have caused a pause in his walk and continuous pleas.

He's seen rougher stuff at San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair

Either somebody threw a water bottle at the camera or Anderson wet himself.

Cooper's probably just trolling, hoping to re-enact the Turkish prison scene in Lawrence of Arabia.

Appears he is jumping in the middle of this knowing the cameras are rolling. Dan Rather did the same with a Hurricane. I don’t think he was seriously threaten because if he was they would be RUNNING not walking.

If he really said “Come back” with a grin, he probably just wanted a phone number from one of the guys. /s

Poor baby, i guess it’s time to call Mommie Gloria Vanderbilt. He shouldn’t have swished into a war zone. The real world is a little different from the Upper West Side or Chelsea.

How does he know the thugs are Pro-Mubarak?

He doesn't. These are probably MB agitators, why else would they target the foreign press?
