WGN-TV reporter Gaynor Hall was giving a weather update in Shorewood on Saturday night when the brazen creep suddenly ran into the frame, grasped her shoulders and shouted the obscene phrase, footage shows.

She has a nice smile.

Maybe honest? Maybe not?

He’s just stupid and immature is all. The kind of thing a 13 year old boy might do and get punished for.

But he’s 20 years old. He has a screw loose. Or drugs.

In any case, while I see why she was bugged out by it, I don’t think it is the end of the world here.

Beyond ungentlemanly. Prosecuting him is fine. But someone, perhaps the ladies brothers should beat the piss out of him.

Undoubtedly, numerous Leftist knotheads already have done so.

So if a stranger sneaks up and grabs your shoulders, will you just shrug and say it’s not the end of the world?

Sorry buddy, I refuse to think like that. I read Thomas Malory at a young age and liked his philosophy. It stuck.

Let the legal system handle it. She would have been justified slapping the fool out of the creep, but someone else would have faced charges. The creep did not learn that which is taught in 1st grade: "keep your hands to yourself".

“keep your hands to yourself”.

If he had simply shouted, it would have been a nothing burger.

This type of behavior is why they make pepper spray.

That’s was kind of how I saw it. Substitute nearly anything else and somebody whacks him on the head and he runs away. It doesn’t make the news.

Yes, Shorewood and Joliet are adjacent.
