This is one of seven parts of the show taped on November 3, 1988. The voices do not quite match the video. There are two minutes of banter before the melee. The earlier installments introduce the participants.

Here is a separate news video on the incident:

I would have loved to smash Geraldo's face.

Is it just my imagination, or did the african-american gentleman actually start the whole thing (as far as it getting physical, I mean). Doesn't really make him look any better than the goons who provoked him. And the Jewish guy seems a little unhinged too. And the audience is a bunch of quivering cowards. And the "non-racist" skinheads are a joke. Hell, everyone in this video sucks!

Why put all of these types of people in the same room? That is just asking to get your nose broken!

I think the reason that most thinking people dislike Geraldo Rivera is because this is the type of journalism he practices. Not starting fights, necessarily but rather bring together two diverse, angry groups (or in this case an angry group and those they're angry at) and try and keep it together through audience questions. I doubt any self respecting journalist would do something like this or any of the stories Geraldo has done because they tend to check their facts and develop a story rather than have one develop around them.
