Urine big trouble now

Posted on March 5, 2007 5:44 PM
This was just cold blooded. A TV photographer got fired for taking a wizz in a cemetery. He picked a bad time to do it...
Gerry Edwards, of Center Point, was dismissed in December by KGAN-TV in Cedar Rapids.

In November, Edwards urinated near a monument at a cemetery while he was there covering the funeral procession for 23-year-old Sgt. James Musack, of Riverside, who was killed in Iraq, court records said.
He's been denied unemployment bennies, even after saying he was pressured to stay at the funeral to get shots for the station. TV news types love flag-draped coffins, 'cuz that gets more people to watch and more money from advertisers.

Here's the cold blooded part...
Another journalist photographed the incident, and it was e-mailed to Edwards' managers. Records said officials escorted Edwards out of the building within hours and gave him a choice of resigning or being fired.
Backstabbed by another journalist. Shouldn't the tattletale be fired for shooting a pissing picture instead of the funeral?
