OK, good start....

....but I would dare suggest that a professor who vandalizes student displays and then threatens reporters with a machete ought to be not simply fired, but also prosecuted.  Or is threatening someone with a deadly weapon not a crime in Gotham City anymore?

Kudos to the reporter, by the way, for how he kept his cool.  I don't know that I could have done the same in that situation, and I have to admit that I wondered "does this kind of thing happen so often in New York City that he's gotten used to it?".  I must also note that, as a possible juror, I'd not be willing to convict someone who beat the living snot out of someone who waved a machete at his neck.
