Source: ABC Reporter’s Life Allegedly Threatened at Occupy Oakland; ‘We Shoot White Bitches Like You Around Here’

Early yesterday morning, we received a tip from a reader in the San Francisco East Bay area who informed us that a local reporter’s life had been threatened by an activist at the Occupy Oakland demonstration.

Our source, who is fearful of reprisal and has requested anonymity, says that KGO-TV’s Amy Hollyfield was accosted by a man who threatened her and used a racial slur:

“We shoot white bitches like you around here.”

According to our source, the Oakland Police Department was apparently called to the scene. Inquiries to the police, and to Hollyfield, which began at roughly 8 a.m. Pacific time yesterday, are still unanswered today.

Nothing wrong here. It’s “Social Justice”.

Any news service is bonkers to send women into these situations without armed escort.

If the send men unescorted then send women in unescorted--equal rights

I’m sure what sounded like a threat is being taken way out of context.
“Shoot” may have a whole other cultural meaning then a bullet from a gun.
As well, “white bitches” may even be a compliment amoung some cultures.
In fact, you may be racist, or at the very least culturally insensitive, for even thinking this was a threat.

Actually, it sounds like a statement of fact.

Given that it’s Oakland. 20 years ago or so I stayed at the Oakland airport Motel 6. Had a 12’ chain link fence with razor wire at the top around the entire facility, and armed guards at the gatehouse.

Decided I wouldn’t go out for a late-night stroll after all.

I think you're confusing the Raiders team members for the Bengals team members.

“So the NEWS organization has one of their employee’s life threatened (i.e. the have direct sourcing of the story) and it’s not the NEWS organization that reports this but rather an *unnamed source*?”

IN THE BAY AREA? Surely, you jest...

NOTHING can be allowed to derail the Democrat agenda. and who cares if this “White Bitch” gets redistributed, anyway?

What is just one more meaningless victim, compared to the GLORY of Obama and the Democrat PArty?

If the station had dared to report this, the unwashed masses would descend upon the Station Manager’s house, screaming RACIST!, and threatening the owner’s children at school.

Don’t believe me?
This has been Standard Operating Procedure for the Bay-area leftists, for years. and these station people KNOW IT.

Occupy Oakland, the epitome of being a day late and a dollar short.

Yeah, that’s kind of like “Occupy Hell”.

Isn't that where Maxine Waters told the Tea Party to go? I'm glad the OWS crowd went there instead.

This is a good thing. Turn the MSM against these Fleabaggers, and soon they will start reporting the truth about them.

...instead of all the fluff they have been spewing.

Remember the guy who tried to make friends with Grizzly Bears?
Same thing here, only bears tend to be smarter than the animals the media are supporting.

Agreed. I have heard some callers on radio saying they wanted to go try to evangelize some of the Occupy crowd to the real villains in the financial mess, economy, etc.

A terrible disservice on part of media to not warn the general population that according to a poll taken by former democrat pollster Doug Schoen, 31% would support violence to advance their agenda...

Ironic how the media will warn citizens about inclement weather but not propensity for violence by a third of OWS protestors!

“We shoot white bitches like you around here.”

Not sure that’s a threat. I’m guessing that with the people involved and the community they live in, it’s probably just a statement of fact.
