A year ago, FTVLive told you that KDKA (Pittsburgh) Photographer Ian Smith was attacked by a group of protestors.

Now, one of the thugs that attacked Smith is headed to jail.

Jordan Erdos didn’t initiate the attack on Smith during the protests in Downtown Pittsburgh over the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota. But the 21-year-old from Butler did get swept up in the mob mentality that led to it — pushing his way through the crowd so that he could kick Ian Smith in the head and neck repeatedly.

For that, a judge said Tuesday, Erdos will serve at least six months in jail.

In court, Smith testified about his experience, said that he’d been working for about 45 minutes covering the protests, and characterized what he’d seen as “chaos.”

Just after the Pittsburgh police car was set on fire, Smith said, he was attacked.

Smith’s camera was taken from him and bashed off the ground, and he was pushed to the ground and beaten and stomped.

He said he thought he was going to die.

“Two female voices, I heard them say, ‘Kill him. Kill him,’” Smith testified. “I was very much in fear for my life on the ground.”

Erdos plead guilty to his role and will now serve jail time.

Punk ass!
