NSR, if you reread what I said, you will see that I did not say that the reporter instigated the violence, but rather I said could have prevented it by departing the scene after the woman was already assaulting him. Now if the woman acted within civil boundaries, then yes the reporter should be able to conduct his investigation. But he was no longer doing that: he was indulging in a media coverage of violence. In your shallow view, it looks as if you think only one side must be wrong (be it a rapist, an assailant, or a thief), and the other side must be right. Both sides wronged on different things. The husband/wife should be punished for their crimes according to the law, but the press should be called on their glorification of that violent scene. In a sense, everyone was acting like animals.
