That's a little crazy. Gives a new meaning to Law and Order. Hope the photographer got photos. 😀
Actually, I would guess he is lucky it didn't go down hill.

Crazy seems to be happening a lot these days (even if the Rapture didn't--oh wait, it's been postponed for another five months...).
The story does confirm a suspicion in my mind that a large number of people see photographers as The Enemy.

Well, at least one Republican Rep certainly does.
The story doesn't state anything to indicate that this has anything to do with photography, the reporter's job or anything at all other than that he was at Dunkin Donuts at the wrong time.
Honestly, other than saying that the guy was a photographer for the newspaper it just says he was at DD.
It is a story about a wacko, like most of our elected officials, not about photography at all.

Not at all. Says the rep pulled a gun on a guy. That is it. The fact that he is a photographer for the paper is just an added fact in the story, not a factor at all in the events as described.

Other articles about this incident. This seems to be about the reps mental illness... screwed up world we live in.
