This is what happened to Taylor Lorenz . Punched out by a counter protestor who has been arrested. Her feed that she was capturing live is at the link.

She's going to be one hell of a valuable witness.

"One of the four men arrested for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia was reportedly a counter-protestor who punched a female reporter.

Virginia State Police announced last night that 21-year-old Jacob L. Smith of Louisa, Virginia was charged with misdemeanor assault & battery. And now it is known what led to his arrest.

The Hill reporter Taylor Lorenz was live-streaming the counter-protest on her phone when James Alex Fields Jr. drove his car into the crowd, that left one dead and 19 injured. While capturing the immediate aftermath of the attack, where she stood only several feet away, Smith approached Lorenz, punched her in the face, and shouted “Stop the f**king recording!” The shirtless counter-protestor can be seen walking into the shot just seconds before the phone was knocked out of her hand."

What is there to say? There is no defending or ameliorating what, based on the statement above, is indefensible.

The shirtless counter-protestor can be seen walking into the shot just seconds before the phone was knocked out of her hand."

It really wasn't that warm in C-ville this past weekend. I realize downtown C-ville and protests in general aren't nearly as genteel settings as, say, The Vineyard, or even gardens behind students' Lawn accommodations at UVA, but still...willfully going about shirtless in the middle of a city is really quite boorish.
 
Conservatives will go to any lengths to defend their ISIS style terrorist attack on Saturday. Expect more to come.
