Last week THE FACTOR reported on a bias assault in Norfolk that left two newspaper reporters injured. Shortly after 11:00 p.m. on April 14th, 26 year-old Marjon Rostami and 31-year-old David Forster were coming home from the theater when someone threw a rock at their vehicle. Mr. Forster got out to affront the assailant and was set upon by approximately five African-American young men who beat him. The thugs then attacked Ms. Rostami as a crowd of about 30 surrounded the vehicle and witnessed the assault. Hysterical, Miss Rostami called 911 and the police arrived. The initial police report described the assault as a bias crime and a 16-year-old has been arrested. But now, the Norfolk police say it was not a bias crime and are refusing to release the 911 tape saying that would hurt their investigation. How? How could that be possible?

Great work on this.
Jesse Watters is a prime example of what the FIRST AMENDMENT is “SUPPOSED” be for.
I wasn’t sure there was one left in the profession.
Affront the assailant? Just because it’s not flagged by spell-check....
Frank Batten Sr. was a hands on owner. He gradually turned it over to his goofball son Frank Jr. in the late 1980's and 1990's and it's gone downhill ever since.

It’s a shame that has gotten so far that the liberal media is finally pulling its head out of self imposed rectal defilade.
Well, now they have “skin” in the game, so to speak.
Always carry, encourage others to carry. Refuse to be meat on the table for the ferals.
Excellent! Civilized Americans thank you...the others - not so much.
I particularly enjoyed the clueless punk witness that you interviewed who could only laugh about this mob beating of a young man AND WOMAN. Knuckledragging trash with no sense of right/wrong.
Lastly, was Finley (the newspaper Editor) wearing socks & sandals, or were those golf shoes? :)
I don’t think I would have gotten out of the car if it could still be driven—I would have called the police (if I had a cell phone), given them the location, and gotten the heck out of there.
Of course, it’s my belief that everyone who qualifies should be armed any time they are out and about.
Great job on the interview!
Even if you don't have a firearm, a car qualifies as a deadly weapon if you have the balls to use it that way.
Well, there’s that, which I hadn’t thought about. I suppose you could pretty well scatter a crowd by floorboarding it and getting the heck out of there!
Very good.
It's not like there's any chance their victim was likely to come back later with a gang of friends to blow away everybody on that corner, something that they could not be sure of if they mugged the wrong black victim.
More like being willing to run over anybody who doesn't get out of the way fast enough.
I’d be okay with that—it would be a me or them situation—and I alway root for me! LOL!
Some cities don’t need cops. They need zookeepers.
Great job, Jesse!
Thanks Jesse, I live in Norfolk and was out of town when the story broke on Drudge. I am not surprised aobut the way this was handled, thanks for coming down and doing real journalism work.
I travel that corner sometimes, never that late at night. But it is like most other inner-city areas, dangerous at times.
Never get out of the car, always travel with protection and I guess now, stop patronizing the Attucks theater or any other businesses in these dangerous areas.
Sad, but that is hte natire of the beast.
Now back in the olden days of 80 years ago, if something like this happened, a part of the city would burn down, and (comment removed before the mods see it), but then it would be safe to walk the streets for years.
Who the heck does Fox pay to edit their copy? While I’m sure the thug who threw the rock was affronted by the victim actually getting out of his car to object, the purpose was to CONFRONT him!
And now the story is down to five on two; before it was as many as 30, with about 100 more cheering! And the media wonders why we don’t believe them!
Sure glad this is being covered. He should be covering all the Black racist attacks to make sure they are being handled correctly.

I'm sure Jones' appointment couldn't have had anything to do with the Pilot's rabid pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-Obama, pro-tax-the-hell-out-of-anyone-with-a-job stances (/sarcasm).
