Russians open up on vehicle filled with Reporters. (Dramatic!)

CNN has a video here , where Russians opened up on a vehicle with three Turkish reporters in it.
One of them was shot in the eye.( Don't worry you can't really see it.)
They then show that they're press and surrender, the Russians then chase them away, even kicking the Camera man.

I can't believe no one was killed, they put a lot of rounds into the vehicle.
All the reporters are going to be okay, the injuries the man who was shot in the head sustained are not life-threatening.

Edit:
Apparently the vehicle was caught between Georgian and Russian crossfire.

My little bro came rushing down stairs to tell me about it just a few minutes earlier. Thank God they're okay.

Moved to Off-Topic as requested.

How would someone survive being shot in the eye?

It's not like things like this hasn't happened before, a lot of people are tortured in Iraq, and many civilians were killed and raped during Vietnam. It happens in every conflict."

"There's no bad guy in war, everyone is fucking themselves and their people, at least that's how i see it"

Seeing how they like to shoot at  the press so much , I vote that the people from TMZ be sent out there =]

I understand and agree with you somewhat. Sometimes War is a necessity, WW2 is the best example for this.
While it wasn't necessary for Germany to try to conquer Europe, it was Necessary for someone to stop it.

When I said "bad" guy, I really meant who was the aggressor and cause for this mess."

I watched the video and didn't personally hear them say that they were russian. I could barely hear the soldiers at all.

And the kicking the camera man was reasonable. He was lagging behind and filming the soldier who just shot at them.

One of the soldiers said davai davai (which means 'C'mon C'mon' in Russian)."

Didn't most people in South Ossetia speak russian and were russian citizens? If the majority of the area that was the origin of the war spoke russian, most of the other people in the area probably spoke russian, even the people on Georgia's side. As far as we know, it was just a Georgian who either knew better Russian than Georgian, or perhaps wanted to make his enemies look bad."

That's crazy.

I don’t know about other countries but most Australians are oblivious to this war and it is pissing me off. I'm not saying that no one doesn’t know that the war is going on but no one seem to know the details, and I I'm not going to blame people, I blame the media. In Thursday’s paper there was only on page on the war and it was page 20+, on Friday it was on page 25+and today in Saturdays paper its on 17. This is a war where people are dying when they shouldn’t be and it seems that the media doesn’t want to ruin the Olympic spirit. Even on the news the war would be lucky to get 5 mins of time. I truly don’t understand why the media isn’t letting people know what going on. I guess they think medals are more important.

BTW I'm not saying that all media and all people don’t care but the vast majority.

And this is why civilians stay out of the goddamn warzone.

WOW...what the hell is wrong with Russia. They seem really really jumpy

I guess I would be jumpy  too  if people were trying to kill me.  I get jumpy if I walk through a bad neighborhood  ,  thats nothing compared to what these guy's have to go through."

"the injuries the man who was shot in the head sustained are not life-threatening. "  - does not compute.  life-threatening by who's definition?  I had a good laugh about that.

most americans don't know that more journalists died in the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts than in any other war since WWII.  Let's try not to be hypocritical, shall we?

i know it's possible, it just seems to me that if you're shot in the face and lose sight in one eye you've pretty damn well sustained life-threatening injuries.  If left untreated, it most likely would be fatal.  Just because modern medicine can provide more and better care than previously, doesn't mean that serious injuries should be re-categorized. 
I really don't know what the hell i'm even talking about here, it was just funny to read that sentence.

Theyre scaring off reporters, in my opinion they have the right to do so, all theyre doing is claiming false information about them and feeding people crap through mainstream media, Russia isnt the bad guy here people...

World War Three here we come (probably not though).

I don't agree totally yet, but I hardly think Georgia is really innocent in all this."

I don't understand how you can call Georgia the bad guy when the INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED BORDERS insist that South Ossetia is part of Georgia.
