I'm all for the death penalty. Not in this instance of course. I see housing killers and murderers kind of like building a house for your garbage.

Agreed.

Personally, I think this guy should be tossed in jail for a few years. Granted, all he did was throw a shoe, so there was no intent of murder, but he DID attempt to assault someone, and that someone WAS a very high up government official.

Fifteen years does seem a little harsh...

I agree, it is harsh, but part of me is also saying "he threw something at the president of the United States... in Iraq... he's lucky to be alive".  Seriously, it was only throwing his shoe(s) to make a statement, but the dimwit could of chosen a better time and place to of done it (like a country where he wouldn't potentially be hauled off as an enemy combatant and locked away indefinitely on some island nobody that he knows has ever heard of).

The French sold Saddam all the weapons he could pay for, even built his first reactor in exchange for a 23% stake in Iraqi oil, "Israelis destroyed it", and yet they applaud the Bush shoe thrower. Oh they are just precious arent they? Like butter wouldnt melt in their mouths. They backed a Dictator who killed Iraqis by the millions and applaud the shoe thrower?


he dodged a lot more than a shoe
like death ?

just imagine:

1) going to press conference with the attempt to harm the President of the US
2) having the balls to throw both shoes at him -> but failing to hit
3) being lucky not been shot by secret service
4) sent to prison and someone breaks his ribs  :huh <-why should someone do that? Maybe someone who likes Mr. Bush? in a iraqi prison? no way! Must be a other reason.
5) facing 15 years in prison  :aok <- for denouncing Mr. Bush on live television as a “dog” who had delivered death and sorrow there from nearly six years of war and then on the other side don´t stand for for it, but instead start whining about 15 years in prison?
6) seeking asylum in Switzerland to work there for the UN??

boy, this coward should face the penalty for what he did.

So if you guys think 15 years (or any jail term) is fine for lobbing a couple of shoes at a some bloke.
What should all of the different protesters be getting for throwing eggs and tomatoes at them.

I dont think I have ever heard anyone get locked up for years for these, does it matter if it is a particular piece of clothing or are food stuffs less offensive?   :rolleyes:

Rox is right. This is getting to "Politic" and the man in the Pink elephant is the band leader. Post deleted by me.
