Frank Scales, a conservative journalist known for his man on the street interviews in Philadelphia, was hospitalized on Saturday after he was sprayed with an unknown substance while covering anti-ICE protests in Center City.
Scales was repeatedly threatened while attempting to interview protesters while they gathered near City Hall on Friday night. One individual — a noticeably short man who identified himself as “Big John” — then told Scales he would assault him if he didn’t “roll out.”
“Are you threatening me?” Scales responded, at which point “Big John” replied with, “absolutely” as he rolled a blunt in public. “Some of us don’t give a f*** about laws, rules, police, jail,” Big John ranted, adding that he “doesn’t give a f***” about jail.”
“You think I ain’t been to jail before? You think I won’t go again? I’d die for my causes dog, you better recognize that sh** right now,” he continued to rant.
