And then in the end (3:20) that soldier has the audacity to KICK that man to the ground because he is holding a camera showing one soldiers/nations SHAME.

I counted 5 bullet holes in the windshield if not by the grace of god or any spirit up above that driveer should have been dead, i counted two shots directly above his skull alone.





Your soldiers need a real kick in the pants, i await response boroda & ruissian.

Please tell me how a group of reporter's could come under fire, SCREAM for medical aid OVER AND OVER and be PUSHED away from the combat scene. Russian peace keepers my arse, show me one medic, show me one soldier there who gave a damn about anyone but them selfs. Sure as heck those are not american soldiers.

SHAME

[myelo]

How the hell do you over ex agerate being shot?

Errrr, unless you've been shot with a paintball gun I really don't think you should be questioning him. HE'S BEEN THERE, MAN!

How do you know these are Russian soldiers? They scream in Russian with heavy Georgian accent, I hope it's not a secret that 90% of Georgians speak Russian and some of them even don't know Georgian language at all. Read the comments, it's obvious.

It's not Russian side now setting up ambushes and shooting at civilian convoys.

You can see some of the soldiers in the video and their uniform didn't appear to be that of the georgians, a higher resolution video would be nice though. They seem to be either russians or georgians dressed up as russians. If I'd be a georgian dressed up as a russian soldier and shooting the press on purpose, I would've made sure to shoot one of the reporters in cold blood to make sure the next days headlines read "russian soldiers shot a reporter in cold blood". Other than the headlines I see no reason for georgians to dress up as russians just to shoot at civilians and the press. Apparently these soldiers weren't on a mission to make it into the headlines.

yeager.. as has been said..  journalists have probly caused more problems...  up to and including death.. than any other group..  In a lot of cases.. lives would be saved if a reporter were killed.

The camo can't be distinguished at all. Helmets look like US kevlar "nazi-style". Looks like stray Georgians special units trying to cross the front-line and return not to get caught.

Some Russians wear new digital camo or Western-style "woodland", some Georgians wear Russian forest camo.

Headlines is a good argument. They already got caught on staging "Russian atrocities" in Gori.

Did you see BBC report on a Russian military convoy? The reporter literally jumped on the armor or was riding the KAMAZ door, soldiers were quite friendly, and answered "we are here because we are were we are supposed to be" (meaning orders).

I agree with Lazs on attitude to journalists, but in this conflict _anyone_ attacking reporters, especially Western, will spend the rest of his career guarding some radar station on an ice island in Bering sea from white bears. I am 100% they got strict orders, and will protect journalists by all means.

As small as the wound was, she probably didn't feel it.

[Dowding]

BBC Boroda? I thought they were liars and fabricators.

You're so full of toejam.

I watched the BBC the other night and saw this coverage also. I have to agree that the soldiers apeared friendly.

Pull your head out of your arse and watch that video. Notice anything strange about her movements? Watch when she is supposedly shot. Now if you REALLY want me to dissect this, I can.

Her arm was FLAT against her side when the bullet hit. She staggered SLOWLY to the left. The blood appears to indicate a HORIZONTAL hit, from right of the arm to the left, extending quite a ways around her wrist. This would mean the bullet DID come from the side she staggered away from, but curved with her arm and managed to nick quite a bit of the inside of her arm, sheltered by her body. Also, since she wasn't wearing body armor when she was initially hit, why didn't the shart touch her body in any way?

Also note: Notice how many bloody cameras they have set to cover one small spot? I've seen quite a few live feeds in person (Been AT the scene where the report is taking place) and I have never seen so many cameras on tri-pods focusing on ONE spot, unless something VERY big is expected to happed there. Seems a bit odd.

And now the final "Why the f*** are they still in the streets?!?" Even the idiots, and the bravest of soldiers alike are smarter than to stand in a street when they are taking fire. Notice the calm attitudes of everyone else in the area? There are three SLIGHTLY perturbed people, and they are the reporter, and the two men attending her. Why does no one else in the area react? One guy just stands there next to another van the whole time. No one else seems to notice or care.
