He broke his iPhone cable a few nights ago and spend a good portion of the evening looking for a working cable so he could recharge. He's been mooching free stuff off of various people every night and it's kind of inexcusable that he keeps showing up ill-prepared when he's not even shooting all day.

Let me see if I remember the full list:

1. iPhone cable
2. Water
3. Press credentials
4. Receiver box (?)
5. Freeze pop
6. Microphone
7. XLR cord

I guess. But the other Vice team hasn't been having this problem and are much more competent at maneuvering the area and dealing with the cops. I'd rather be watching them but they're not doing livestreaming for whatever reason.

No, he was offered a freeze pop but declined because he is a jackass.

However, you can add rag to the list; he asked for a rag when the gas hit last night.

Is there any media at St Mark's or the Market where today's victim died? Can't find much aside from the occasional tweet about/from either. Seems like those are two places ripe for abuse without any media presence.

Why does the train have the Yes Man's face from Fallout: New Vegas?

Kinda creepy.



IIRC that face was the first Google search result for "Happy face" or some such at the time so it was used for Yes Man

Bingo. Vice found a revolutionary business model: its easier to subcontract than have fulltime staff.

The freezepops thing was great because they were offered by one of the homeowners in the area, who was justifiably fed up with what is going on. And the previous night she had been disturbed by the other Vice team ducking for cover in her bushes. And she still offered Tim a goddamn freezepop.

No, they just pay their journalists a criminally low wage (especially considering how much better they are than the horrible shills at CNN/MSNBC/FNews)

Low salaries even for journalism. I wouldn't be surprised if Tim is paid pennies or even nothing.

Edit: I think the 30k is for their editors, at that.

How do we know it was suicide by cop?

Also, is it just early or does it seem like things are going quietly tonight in regards to police presence and looking for a riot?

He tried to mooch some mics and got told to piss off. He hung out by a choo choo train and is now awkwardly shuffling his way around until somebody shoots him again.
