"Journalist" brings 70 year-old man to tears

This guy had numerous burglaries and hadn't gotten any help from the police in stopping them. So he winds up shooting two intruders in two separate break-ins. Then this idiot reporter corners him coming out of a store and asks him if he's "trigger happy". Yeah lady, he's a crazed 70 year-old Rambo wannabe on a rampage!  ::)

The reporter in question has been (at least temporarily) suspended by the TV station pending investigation.

Regardless about how anyone feels on the gun issue, this is clearly a case of a guy who was defending his property and felt like he had no choice other than to shoot the intruders. She went into that interview with the sole purpose of stringing him out, rather than trying to actually get his side of the story.

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Pulled by the Fox affiliate... eek.

That's the fox affiliate for my area. This was on the local news here and I missed it. Dayam.

I have to agree with placing 'journalist' in quotes.

Does anyone know if she's been fired, suspended, other?  I googled a bit but couldn't come up with anything.
