| Today's New York Daily News Front Page was graphic, but much more tasteful than an idiotic couple mugging for the cameras behind a journalist reporting on this. |
The couple in question were two of those types of idiots who make goofy gestures in the background as a television reporter gives a live update.
In this case, WPIX-TV reporter Allison Kaden was giving an update on demonstrators near the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, which had its lighting ceremony Wednesday evening.
That lighting ceremony happened as demonstrations continued across New York City and elsewhere against a grand jury decision in which a New York cop was not indicted despite fatally choking Eric Garner.
That move was caught on videotape as police tried to arrest Garner on suspicion of illegally selling cigarettes.
Anyway, Kaden was giving her update on the demonstrations and the tree lighting, when a couple moved into position behind Kaden and on camera, the guy cartoonishly pretended to choke the woman, who cartoonishly reacted by waving her arms and faking a scream
What a classy couple. I'm sure they thought they were hilarious.
The Internet is pretty unforgiving, and I'm sure this couple will be identified soon, and all hell will break out. They'll get death threats, lots of flame, lots of harassment on line and elsewhere.
No, this couple doesn't deserve death threats or harassment. But shame on them!
The video of this moronic couple is below, but to soften this up, I also posted an image of the excellent New York Daily News front page today which uses Garner's last words "I can't breathe!" as he was being choked by the cop.
Here's the stupid couple video:
