Letter from Petra László – The kicking camerawoman spoke

media migration TV Video

I sincerely regret what happened – it is in the letter sent by Petra László, the camerawoman who tripped and kicked the migrants, to mno.hu.

“I sincerely regret what happened. Just now I could pull myself together enough to write. In fact I am in shock from what I did and what they did to me.

“I filmed with camera, hundreds of migrants broke out, they broke through the police cordon, one of them rushed to me and I was scared. I was afraid as they were swarming me and then something burst me. With a camera in my hand, I did not see who are coming towards me, and I just thought I was attacked and I have to protect myself. It’s hard to make good decisions at a time when one is in a panic and hundreds of people rush in her face. I failed at that moment. I’m sorry about what happened, and as a mother, I specially regret that the fate rolled even a kid in my way and I did not notice. I panicked, and as I see myself in the recordings, as if it wouldn’t be me. I sincerely regretted what I did and I take responsibility for it.

I am not a heartless, child-kicking, racist camerawoman. I did neither deserve for the witch hunt against me nor the smearing, often death threats. I’m just a woman, a now unemployed mother of a small child, who made a bad decision in a panic situation. I am truly sorry.

Petra László”

What happened?

The statement of N1TV’s ex-camerawoman was sent by her husband to mno.hu. Petra László tripped a migrant running with his child at Roszke on Tuesday, and she kicked two other people – including a young child. Szabolcs Kisberk, the editor in chief of the television said in a statement that Laszlo was dismissed with immediate effect because she behaved unacceptable. “The case is considered closed from our side” – Kisberk added.

    You are not sorry that you did it. You are sorry that you are caught doing it. No One accidentally kicks a father with his small children and make them fall.
    You did it because, heartless idiots like you, want to feel powerful by abusing and hurting weak and unprotected. There are millions like you all around the world unfortunately. You are only far more stupid to do stg when cameras were all around.

    […] who has been vilified on social networks since the incident on Tuesday, tried to explain herself in a letter to a Hungarian newspaper, saying that she regretted her actions but had lashed out because she felt as if she was being […]

    The father/male carrying the child was past her when she stuck her foot out and hooked his ankle. I see a huge threat to her existance in that photo…

    I was 5 when my parents left in 1956. Think my father would have showed her real Hungarian spirit…they would not have had to let her go from her employ! She would have been unable to do much of anything later…
    I remember being shot at, freezing cold and hunger during our 4 month long ordeal!

    Have a good life lady…pray you never have to really run for your life. I got to see a safe house where over 75 humans were machine gunned while resting. My dad was not quick enough to cover my eyes. I say humans as they would have had to count body parts!

    The path to freedom is never empty and is lined with the dead.

    The video’s headline:

    Hungarian camerawoman brutally kicking little refuge girl for fun

    is an example of media hype at its worst.

    “Brutally” and “for fun” are not facts, they are absurd embellishments by the journalist.

    What I see is a very brief, half-hearted, and completely harmless attempt to block the stampede of immigrants. The little girl that was “brutally kicked” hardly noticed it and proceeded on her way.

    Not really much of a story here.

    She´s is sorry about her acting and everybody should accept her apology.

    If anyone raped a woman nobody cares about this ( look at Sweden, what happended there right now )
    But being in fear of a moving crowd of people and acting in panic like she did everybody will through the first stone at her.

    What kind of world is it, that we are living in ?

    She´s sorry, and I believe her. Probably I would act like her in the same situation, many of you will act like her. Think about it …

    the fact is that you intentionally kicked two small children while you filmed.
    You are the kind of person that would do everything for career.
    shame on you.

    a reader from IRAN
    The hungarian people and frontier police are great people.I had been there once and they treat me and lots of immigrant in a humanitarian way. she did wrong like all of us do and apologized. Please let she live her life in peace.
    Those Politician and the people who vote in their favor cause this kind of inhuman problems are safe in their palaces and you are enjoying watching them in TV and do nothing seriously to show your disagreement. be positive and fair to other humans if you do not like to this kind of acts.

    Dailynews Hungary falsified the meaning of the letter of Petra Laszlo. She did NOT tell she tripped Osama Mohsen. She did NOT touch the father with the child. See this german geometrical analyze (English subtitles)

    Dailynews Hungary please modify your article (in the name of the humanity). The camerawoman is in danger!
