He just saw the NBC logo and a black man, and decided that it was his time to single-handedly fight "fake news."
"Accurately! Report this accurately!", is what he kept screaming from the moment he jumped out of the truck.
He knew he was on camera and he's a minority? He wasn't going to swing first while that light was on. Still that smooth turn of the camera made it look like that's something they practice on the regular. Which sadly I believe they do.
lol what the fuck did he think the reporter was saying, "it's a beautiful sunny day out here on-site in this massive hurricane!".
Based on this piece of garbage yelling "accurately," it seems like a decent bet that this is a deranged Trump supporter and/or anti-vaxxer who decided to nearly assault the reporter for being part of the "liberal media."
This is the direct result of the near-brainwashing propaganda that comes from Fox News and other right wing media. Scary as fuck.

Apparently he wanted the news reported "accurately" SMH.
Every time I think about living down south, I always get a sign that says "NOPE"
Let me guess; people have been saying the hurricane was liberal fake news, and then it turned out it wasn't so they're blaming the hurricane machines?
Right lol. What the hell does the weather have to do with any of that. He really pulled up in his truck with is racist sunglasses on trying to pick a fight. Fucking nutcase.
More likely than not indoctrination and radicalization by conservative media.
Yep all they see are symbols and just go crazy at this point. Activates their racist, conspiracy Programming.
I was hoping for the impressively calm and collected reporter to upper cut that nut job. It's so hard to keep your cool when people get wild for our reason.
Trump. He's not only a racist, but he promoted violence against the mainstream media.
Trump was an absolute disaster to this country.
FTFY
These type of people existed long before Fox News and Facebook and they don't just exist in the South and they're not just poor and uneducated.
I heard "accurately" too, so I'll second this synopsis as to what was going down.
Well odds are likely that this shit stain is an anti-vaxxer trump moron so hopefully that means he's not vaccinated and will catch covid it and die. š¤·š¾āāļø
lol, I typed Tampa because I have a package en route from there. Yes, that.
I wish Biden would make a mockery about this racist bitch ass like Trump put racist on pedestals. Gloves need to come off and the nation needs to slap the shit out of the far right ass holes.
News media should investigate at least to get him fired from wheever he works at.

Holy shit. Black people are literal saints. Seeing shit like this. Can you imagine?
If black peoples decided to seek retribution for the mistreatment by whites I feel like they would be justified.

Damn, the way he just keeps his composure and continues his train of thought from a different angle. What a pro.
Not in the number and frequency we see today. They used to be fringe loons and not nearly as embolden. Today they are mainstream conservatives and widespread.
He probably thought he could stop the fake hurricane by breaking their equipment.
Got a feeling that guy is one of those "Fox News has gone liberal" types and now only trusts NewsMax and ONN.
That would just make the guy a hero to the Right. Better to let him fade into obscurity than give him attention.
if I was in that reporter's shoes, the moment that asshole ran up to his face I would have been swinging. I don't give a shit if it's against "protocal" random people should not be allowed to just bum-rush you like that. It sounded like the dude was screaming, "Report it accurately!" um, he was? I'm guessing the white guy thought msnbc was reporting on some trump shit.
when I go down to visit sometimes in the summer (pre-covid), there were places that my family and I would avoid because it's filled with mentally unstable racists with confederate flags drapped all around.
Shaq handled that as a true professional. Reporters have to deal with that shit more than they should. Also him being black in MS makes him more of a target to these wackos. He should sue the guy for assault.
"I'm standing here by the ocean right after a hurricane to once again report that Trump lost the election, Covid is real and vaccinations work"
Yep, sounds about right for Mississippi. One of the most racist encounters I've ever had was my one and only time ever going to that place.
it'll always kill me that these assholes do it thinking they're in the right???
The fact the reporter treats it, daresay, almost unsurprised by it (he had the TV smile and gave the "back to you" line) is super troubling.
That's awful...
With the lack of context I am going to take a stab in the dark that he is one of those people that believes Obama manufactures hurricanes out of Alaska for political gain. And obviously Obama has passed on the secret intel to Biden. Look it up, it is the stupidest conspiracy you'll read about and people are eating horse paste de-wormer right now.
Ugh, yep. The reporter... I don't know. I don't want to type "handled it like a champ" when I wouldn't have blamed him for behaving far less... "professional" about it. But damn, he really was a saint in that situation.
Unflappable. There's a good word for it. Unflappable.
I giggled and then bemoaned it. š
Unreal, ya can't even suffer a natural disaster without an insecure white dude having a reaction
Yep and Black people on TV are practically required to show this level of restraint even when in a potentially dangerous situation. Every time I see Black and Brown and Asian reporters out on the field I wonder how the fuck they put up with all the shit we don't even see.
