O'Reilly Leaving Newt Fundraiser.wmv - YouTube
Transcript:

[Sound of rain and people walking briskly]
O'Reilly: Leave me alone right now.
Occupier: Mr. O'Reilly, were you at Gingrich's fundraiser?
[Footsteps]
[Wind in the mic]
Occupier: Mr. O'Reilly--heyoowhoahhey!
Man: Hey--sorry about that!
Woman: Excuse me!
Occupier: Mr. O'Reilly, were you at the Gingrich's fundraiser?
[Footsteps and heavy breathing]
[video cuts]
Man (presumably O'Reilly): Press charges against him.
Occupier: Sir, I did not do anything. I said "Mr. O'Reilly, were you at Gingrich's fundraiser?" And he hit me, with his umbrella.
[Barely audible woman's voice]
[Sound of traffic and rain]

It tells me what I already knew. O'Reilly is a known and well documented hot head.

He didn't, Bill cry-babied to the policeman that the guy was taping him and wanted him arrested for it . They pretty much laughed at him as the man did nothing illegal (unlike O'Reilly)
The man should have shown the police the tape and filled assault charges against Bill-o

According to the videographer, the police said "either both of you can get arrested or neither of you can get arrested." The videographer declined (I'd've done it!).

O'Reilly had the cojones to say, "he didn’t know who the man [was] or whether or not he was carrying a weapon, he tried to, essentially, protect himself from a meddling, threatening stranger."

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA! He's such a liar.
