Muntazer al-Zaidi. was found guilty and sentenced to 3 years in prison. I think he deserves the medal of freedom.

So if it were at anyone else besides George Bush that the shoe was thrown, that would have been okay too?


Or is it because of your hatred of the past president that makes it acceptable?

People throw mud, shoes, plates, cans, bottles, molotov cocktails, grenades, bombs at each other.....on a sliding scale, the degree of severity of a shoe or two thrown, versus how many f*cking bombs grenades or bullets were thrown at a whole f*cking country of people did the Bush Daemon DIRECTLY contribute to?

Huh?huh

Understood. However, if you're going to create laws for citizens to abide by, should it not be that they must all follow the rules? Why should some go unpunished? Who gets to decide which people should be exempt?

I personally don't believe that if I murdered a person who even tormented and killed my entire family, that the deed should go unpunished.

I might feel good about it, and probably not feel any remorse at all, but neither should it be rewarded and reveled.

Something that really rattles my chain is that Bush drongo ran your country financially into the ground...made widows and widowers of countless numbers of people through throwing someone's kids, in the guise of soldiers, at other countries.. sent your counrty emotionally and financially bankrupt....and some poor bloke got nailed for three years for throwing shoes at him?mad

Why aren't you lot throwing shoes at him? huh

Indeed and yet Bush goes unpunished for his war crimes.......the closest thing to justice was the shoe heard round the world. One can only hope he ends up dodgeing shoes the rest of his natural life since we all know justice will not be served against this maniac

So for you personally you are happy to go to jail for three years for throwing two shoes at the shopkeeper down the road, who murdered your kids and hubby.... through contracted killers?

Remembering in your words, same rules apply for all...

not to be rude but what world do you live in? I see cops that get away with murder, extortion, stalking, and theft but no one seems bothered by the equity of laws when that happens. politicians are the worst criminals out there!! Prostitution, theft, insider trading, the list goes on and on and 99% of them get what...impeached what laws are equal for everyone there?

My understanding is that shoe throwing in Iraq carries a much different weight than it would here in Canada.

In Canada, it would probably be considered an assault and our judicial system is so lax, nothing at all would probably be done.

Besides it's not the number of years that he was given that I'm disagreeing with, but the fact that people seem to cheer about it and think it's an acceptable form of behaviour.

It is, in my opinion...

a man insults/offends another man, who is responsible, DIRECTLY, for a shameful amount of loss of innocent life.

He threw two shoes! It's the same, significantly, as spitting on someone, it is a show of contempt, and on par with 'flipping the bird'.

And he got three years? He SHOULD have been awarded a NOBEL f*cking Peace Prize!

You think spitting on someone is acceptable behaviour as well? noway

So anyone who gets insulted by another should be allowed to assault in return and run off scott-free? And be rewarded for it?

everything has consequences but it should have been handled man to man not man vs secret service. Being the highest elected official in office doesn't make one immune to any form of criticism
