[quote]US rapper Kanye West has been charged with battery and attempted theft over a fight with a photographer at Los Angeles Airport in July.
Paparazzo Daniel Ramos sued Mr West after the singer apparently punched him and threw his camera to the ground.
Lawyers for the international music star said he had only been trying to prevent the photographer from taking his picture.
If found guilty, he faces a maximum penalty of six months in prison.[/quote]

The job sounds awesome being a pap (that is, IF you have people who want to buy your photos) but you're doing everything legally possible to stalk the fuck out of someone who if they even DARE to lay a finger on you, feel the wrath of a legal advisor on par to the team at WBC.
[quote]"When Kanye West attacked me, I was in complete shock," Mr Ramos told reporters.
"All I had done was ask him a question. I was terrified when Kanye started to come at me. I backed up because I felt from the look in his eyes that he was going to attack me."
He added that he had been forced to use crutches and a cane after the incident.[/quote]
You lying sack of shit.
paparazzi is probably the worst job i can think of. You spend your entire career stalking other people and taking pictures of their success all the while they just want you to fuck off and get a real job
[quote]Lawyers for the international music star said he had only been trying to prevent the photographer from taking his picture.[/quote]
And I would bet 10 bucks that the pap's lawyers will say he had only been trying to take a picture of Kanye West but that would be too easy.
Paparazzi photographers are the lowliest of scum, they really deserve a good punch.
i bet that paparazzi saw flashing lights as he hit the ground
The difference between a stalker and a paparazzi is that one doesn't get arrested when they're caught doing it.
As much of an asshole as kanye is, this paparazzi must of REALLY harassed him to have caused him to throw a punch.
really doubt he'll lose this

This is what I'm picturing.

If you watch the video you'll see that Kanye barely even touched him, he just fell over and acted like he had been viscously attacked.
Not just assault. But Theft.

That is because he took the guys camera and threw it on the ground, stop being a moron and trying to defend this retarded paparazzi.

They know what they do is disgusting.
So like is he suing him for money?
Something tells me this is a paparazzi's dream situation.
What Kanye did was pretty reasonable, these people literally do anything for a story, they will stalk anyone whose famous just to get a quick buck, its fucking revolting but companies who encourage it (MTV, TMZ etc.) will make it continue on
[QUOTE=Primigenes;42191084]Paparazzi are the scum of the world[/QUOTE]
They go home at the end of the day to a family you know. 99% of the dont make much money at all too, as they sell what images they capture. its the few that spoil it for the masses.
Just because they have a shitty job doenst mean that they get denied the same legal protection of everyone else. What they're doing is not illegal. Its annoying, but not illegal. If Kanye did what the dude is reporting... then yea, he should be charged with assault.
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;42191197]Not just assault. But Theft.[/QUOTE]
Excuse me sir, but that is still assault.
[quote](1) commits an act with intent to cause fear in another of immediate bodily harm or death; or
(2) intentionally inflicts or attempts to inflict bodily harm upon another.[/quote]
I mean, you dont even have to touch a person to commit assault.
As much as I hate paparazzi, I hate Kanye's attitude even more. So none of this surprises me

Devils advocate, it's not exclusively their fault, society laps all this celeb gossip shit up so demand is high and therefore so's the competition, if you won't go that extra mile to get that one special picture, someone else will and you don't get paid. To a large extent It's a monster that society created.
I do think it's a job for wankers though.

The video
the alternate angle video shows how bs this all is. also the paparazzi covering his face and telling people to get out of his face and stop filming was the most ironic thing ive ever seen.

"Yes! I can make three more payments on that lens I bought!"
From the video I'm still getting that WBC vibe.
"He touched me! HE TOUCHED ME! THAT'S ASSAULT! HEY EVERYONE! THIS GUY JUST ASSAULTED ME!!!"
the guy literally just effortlessly fell down when kanye got near.

What a fucking douche. He's nice enough to let him ask the question and he says that shit, paparazzi do nothing but provoke, stalk and harass, it's disgusting.
