Sporza reporter makes a mistake Click on "CC" for English Subs -A Sporza-Reporter, Bert P. (Belgian sports channel) was doing a report on the Special Olympics in Belgium. He was looking for people to interview when he met these people... He made an honest mistake (could happen to anyone). And he apologized from the bottom of his heart. He decided that this video was a valuable tv-moment. The special people are NOT less than anyone else but are people like you and me and should be treated as such, thats why he decided that this moment should be broadcasted, and not be archived to be never seen again. The video is 3 years old but has resurfaced not long ago. - I uploaded this video because it was funny. Not to get the reporter fired. Any hateful comments towards the reporter or other people will be deleted.

Watch more Tony Katz: www.pjtv.com Wisconsin union thugs dressed as zombies protest Governor Scott Walker at a Special Olympics event. What were they thinking?
MacIver News Service | June 8, 2011 [Madison, Wisc...] On Wednesday in Madison, protesters picketed and disrupted the Governor's appearance at a Special Olympics ceremony outside the State Capitol. As the event kicked off, the University of Wisconsin marching band played and Bucky Badger danced and hammed it up with the Olympians. Interspersed throughout the crowd were dozens of pro-union protesters. The picketers were present throughout the event, including some holding signs with questionable language. The horn honking was kept below normal levels, but some continued throughout the speeches by law enforcement and other dignitaries. Then, as the Governor began to address the Special Olympians, more than a dozen protesters, dressed as Zombies, because in their eyes they are "dead" to Scott Walker, walked to the front of the crowd. They blocked the athletes' view of the Governor in an attempt to divert attention away from the Special Olympians on onto themselves. As did the other lawmakers at the event, Walker kept his remarks brief. Work continues in the legislature on Governor Walker's two-year budget proposal, and many of the protesters have returned to their "Entitletown" tent city across the street.
