Whoever said being a reporter on television isn't exciting or…painful, needs to think twice. Investigative reporter Jeff Chirico for local CBS station WGCL in Atlanta has the scars to prove it after he tried to interview the father of a convicted auto dealer who opened a new shop in Gainesville, even though he doesn't have a license.
The story begins in September when Richard Wilder, 43, owner of the now-defunct Braselton Used Auto Sales, was charged with seven counts of theft by deception and one count of racketeering for purportedly depositing customers' tax refund checks into his own account.
In addition, CBS Atlanta said that Wilder had been previously indicted for odometer fraud, forgery, computer theft and other charges in 2009 and 2010, while also pleading to two felony charges in 2011.
Following the September incident, the Georgia secretary of state issued a cease and desist order against Wilder for operating a used auto dealership without a license. However, far from being discouraged, Wilder and his family simply moved their shady business to Gainesville!
Chirico discovered the Wilder family's new shop named "EZ Auto Sales" at 1608 Atlanta Rd. in Gainesville, and tried to interview the 43-year old after learning that he is not licensed to sell used cars in Georgia.
The man would not respond the reporter's questions. Then his father came into the picture and with the camera rolling he grabbed Chirico from the coat and told him, "It only costs 35 bucks to punch this man in the mouth".
Wilder's father then opened the shop's door and turned to the reporter who was following from behind and punched him right in the face knocking him down!

Reporter : Sir you just punched me in the face............Old Guy : Yeah n i'm gonna punch you AGAIN !!! - Classic.........
what a redneck ...
Why the hell did he follow him into the office? Still some funny crap
mind your own business next time, this is the state of georgia, going into some one's property, you should be thankful for getting just a punch mister.
The disrespectful reporter was out of line, I am glad he was laid down like the
sniveling bitch he is. The media is out of control these days, one-sided and unfair, purely agenda driven, and zero balance in the reporting. They have become sickenly aggressive the last 3 decades, no decorum or proffesionalism. I hope to see the network reportes start getting their asses kicked too.
It wasn't the old guy's house but his and his son's business office. I would hope not to get decked when walking into a business. Watch the video again also, the old guy does indeed hold the door open for the reporter.
Haiz.. ^^ phim
Macho,macho,macho mamnnn
No he wasn't. The reporter took hold of the door handle as the old guy entered.
Here's some audio of Jeff telling the story of what happened.

Weren't a punch. A jab maybe. Old guy is lucky kid was on the job.
The old man did not hold open the door for the reporter, the old man tried to close the door behind himself, when the reporter grabbed the door handel and opened it further to let himself in.
The door is open and the old geezer makes no mention or motion of staying outside to the reporter and, as it's a business, the reporter is doing nothing wrong in grabbing the door to keep it from closing on him, Duh. Geezer does this to give him an excuse for hitting the guy.
haha this is funny

I wouldn't have punched him, but it was fun to see a nosy reporter pointedly informed that he has no business to just walk into someone's building without being invited.
