I read some of the back-story on this whole thing and it's pretty surreal.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

He is accused of attacking Macon Telegraph chief photographer Woody Marshall on Thursday." http://www.13wmaz.com/news/breaking/story.aspx?storyid=107149&catid=4  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Ironically, Woody IS calm and this guy is the one who needs to calm down. Woody is a great guy and newsman. He handled this the right way and stayed professional. The side story as to what this guy Malik Brown) is doing there is REALLY strange... from the macon.com site: “We just go to these things. We help Robert out. I didn’t know,” C.J. Brown said. They followed Sen. Brown into City Council chambers, where the senator ordered C.J. Brown to move a lectern about a dozen feet. C.J. Brown then went back to stand by the chamber’s main door with his son, Malik. http://www.macon.com/2010/12/31/1393922/telegraph-photographer-attacked.htm... weird indeed. -J  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
