Authorities promise to take action against runner after WSAV New’s Alex Bozarjian assaulted while covering road race in Georgia
A TV reporter said she was left “violated” and “embarrassed” after being smacked on the bottom during a live broadcast.

Alex Bozarjian, of WSAV News, was reporting roadside from a 10km race in Savannah, Georgia, when a male participant ran up behind and struck her.

Ms Bozarjian appeared visibly shocked in footage of the incident as streams of runners continued to pass her on Savannah Bridge.

She later condemned the runner, saying: “To the man who smacked my butt on live TV this morning: you violated, objectified, and embarrassed me.

“No woman should EVER have to put up with this at work or anywhere! Do better.”

Fellow reporters showed their support for Ms Bozarjian’s statement on Twitter, while criticising the man responsible.

“I’m so heated for you,” Emily Bloch of the Florida Times said. “This is disgusting. Sending strength and solidarity your way. Now, let’s get this grimy dude and warn the women in his life.”

ABC News 13’s Caitlyn Penter wrote: “DO NOT TOUCH REPORTERS. Period.”

Ms Bozarjian was covering the annual Savannah Bridge Run on Saturday when the incident happened.


Robert Wells, director of the Savannah sports council, promised to find the runner and take action.

“Alex, what happened today is 100 per cent unacceptable,” Mr Wells said. “You have my assurance we will identify him.

“This will not be tolerated at our events. Glad we have race bibs and photos for easy identification.”

we just don't like Armenians
hey i love rice pilaf though

You're trying very hard to sound reasonable but if you were actually being reasonable you'd be more interesting in the disproportionate response. Virtually everyone at some point will be touched when they don't want to be.
don't make it okay though
although tbh, she should have just asked for an apology or something
and told people to leave the guy alone, that it's between him and her

also the people who tried to make this deep and political should be hanged
 
It looks like several other people very nearly hit her as well, though- gorilla suit, lady with blue arms, and waving kid.

I’ve also watched it 3 times now and it still looks more like he was trying to annoy her than to sexually harass her. Still not super great, but her reaction shows he was right.
 
Why is it when something happens to a journalist, they make it so I have less sympathy for them than before?

It should go without saying that you shouldn’t grab random asses but this is just the perfect type of clickbait that will last for a couple of days. Fuck clickbait journalism.
 
For people allegedly so passionate about personal freedoms a lot of you aren't comprehending this, eh? It should be anyone's right, male or female, not to be grabbed or touched when they don't want to be.

That's true, but common sense would dictate that this isn't worth ruining a guy's life over.
 
If you're dumb enough to grope somebody in public, expect consequences.

Although, this shows that journalists are not immune from the bad in the world despite being in front of a camera.

This thread rite now
 
Clearly rape. She needs a cup of hot cocoa, a Red Cross blanket and a brightly colored undercut.
 
Men: "Why don't women like us or trust us REEEE WHORES WHORES WHORES WHORES"

Also men: *hits a woman on camera*

Woman: "Fuck off, you're a piece of shit."

Also men: "BUT THAT'S NOT FAAAIIIRRR"

This why women don't like us, hitting a stranger is bad form and this dude was stupid enough to do it on camera where he could be identified no less. 2 +2 still equals 4 and you still shouldn't hit a stranger on the ass especially when you are easily identified, but of course the new generation of men still sit in their own shit bawling about how hard they have it when there are consequences for acting retarded.

You brainless niggers are why the rest of us can't get girlfriends and women keep going to feminism.

But on the other hand your stupidity and first world spoiled brat mindsets will contribute to the Farms, so there really is a silver lining to everything.
 
It's a shitty thing to do to someone, but making her uncomfortable for a minute isn't equal to the life-ruining witch hunt that's coming for him. Not really relevant but in my experience women are actually much worse than men in regards to unwanted touching.

Also it is a bit rich having her complain about being objectified, considering that's exactly what she's being paid for.
 
Trust a snake before a Jew, and a Jew before a Greek, but never trust an Armenian.
Greeks can be trust, especially to phlegm on you.
Actually, distrust the phlegm ethnicities tbh.
Phlegm is the true Jew.
 
She should have turned around and shoved her microphone right up his asshole but chances are he would have liked it so idk

One person's evil does not make you good. Creating conditions for women to retreat to feminism and giving them justification for their "men are evil pigs" narrative is incredibly retarded but here we have someone saying its a good thing lmao.

Goddamn, niggers niggers everywhere and not a single IQ point to spare.
