On this one, I tend to sympathise with the mourners. The press hovering around like vultures as they do was bound to provoke a reaction like this.

I’m only surprised it took so long.

If the press wants to ask insensitive, intrusive and inane questions (How did this make you feel?) they should invite people to a neutral spot and interview the willing people there, not interrupt a private gathering, (even if that gathering is on the street) and try to force questions onto someone who is struggling with a loss.

While I don’t condone physical assault, I agree with you.
Reporters always think they have some kind of a right to stick their microphones & cameras anywhere & at anytime they want.
