During a Mayoral rally at Harrisburg City Hall on Tuesday for candidate Linda Thompson, an adviser for the Reed campaign had a Hollywood-esqe run in with a member of the local media.
Consultant to and Reed-ally Fred Clark entered the building towards the end of the rally when cameraman/indie news reporter James Roxbury turned his camera towards Clark.
What happened next was a scene that played out like a paparazzi scuffle in Los Angeles. Clark allegedly grabbed Roxbury’s camera and pulled it towards the floor saying “get that fuckin’ camera out of my face”.
Odd behavior for a usually press-savvy Clark a mere seven days prior to the 2009 primary in a hotly contested Mayoral race.
Roxbury filed assault charges against Clark.
More details to follow.
I agree that’s pretty out of character for Fred and just freakin’ strange all around.
The day Harrisburg gets paparazzi…hmmm, that’s like Pompeii getting cable tv, dude.
