Suzanne Marques shames on-camera crasher

Good for Suzanne Marques. She was out in Hollywood readying an entertainment report for Channel 2 last week when some jerk burst into the shot and started talking dirty. Her photographer got a shot of the guy. She put it up on her Facebook page:

"Do you know this face?," she posted. "I'm sure his family and his employer would be embarrassed to hear what he said into my mic if we had been live. Cursing in my face is one thing, but with children nearby, it's not a responsible decision. I hope he'll think twice the next time he sees a news crew working."

Her post has drawn a few dozen supportive comments — and more than 200 likes.

"When the guys do it to guys, they risk being pushed & shoved," Marquez further explains. "Guys who do it to women are cowards. Who talks like that in front of women so freely? Manners and decorum separate the men from the boys."
