1_man_army Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I personally think it's scary that the bodyguards couldn't (wouldn't?!?) defend Bush against a shoe, let alone a bullet! :roll: Cheney in office for 1 month ftw! You can stop people getting guns near him but how do you legislate for this? You can't take everyones shoes off them and the guy was a journalist so he had a legitimate reason to be there (even if he abused that reason). You can't legislate for this sort of randomness, you can prevent weapons and reduce the risk to life but you cant prevent an act of basic disruption. That is all it was really disruption there was no real risk to Bush. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, but it wouldn't be incredibly hard to sneak a gun into a place like that (hide it in the camera?) lol; I'm just saying the bodyguards should have been there even if it was only a disruption.

It takes seconds to throw shoes, security wouldn't exactly be alarmed with somebody taking them off so they'd only have the seconds it took to throw to react. What do you expect, the bodyguard to jump in slow motion and intercept the shoe? He was stopped from doing anything else once they realised what was happening.

nine naked men Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I hope the man had extra large feet :thumbup: Size 10 And you know what they say about people with big feet. ;) They need to wear extra-large footwear to accomodate their massive feet, so if they decide to throw their shoes at somebody, which is what the journalist that we are discussing in this topic did, there is a larger chance of them making contact with the person that they are throwing them at, in this case President George Bush, because of simple math. Also, their abnormally large penises give them the mental strength they need to commit such an act. Because that's what they usually say about people with large feet. That they have large penises. Yeah. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGoddessI Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I hope the man had extra large feet :thumbup: Size 10 Psh he should have got his best friend Pavlo with the clown feet to throw his shoe. And it could have at least been a steel cap! I have size 10 feet.

Freakyhair Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 i give preps for Bush though. To be kind of embarrassed at something so ridiculous being done to him, he thinks of a witty, funny joke to make it seem like a joke. brilliant. :thumbup: I seriously dont understand such people. He would rather be under Husein's rule? Where he is a dictator. At least Bush gave Iraq a foundation for a democratic nation. I dont think you could say something like that without actualy living in the counrty. hitting someone with your shoes is a sign of complete disrespect or something in that area. and i dont think that someone would just use that lightly as its a traditional thing. you dont have a clue of what its liek in iraq and for people to just sit there like 'omg why they complaining theyre getting democracy arnt they?' you dont actualy know that youve just seen it on tv, like me. you should cross refeence because mainstream news isnt going to be able to give you a very clear picture. Basicaly dont diss on iraq when you(like me) havent got a clue what its like over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canineteeth Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I hope this hasn't already been posted (only saw the pokeball one) Argh, turns out that one HAS been posted, in that case I have to post my actual thoughts. GW Bush had amazingly fast speed and that guy must have been out of his mind to throw a shoe at the most powerful men of the world. He could have at least put some C4 and possibly some talc inside the shoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blushenka Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Some videos I've seen of the event edit out the second shoe being thrown for some reason :/ So it's like 'one shoe thrown -> capture'. Weird. Anyway, the real vid is just amazing, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. Those gifs people made after are also funny, yeah. But the real thing....wowie =D> It's like it's directed or smth, it's so perfect ;d That guy throwing one shoe after another at super speed, Bush ducking, the dude next to him looking more or less clueless, the guards only reacting at the end.... Bwahahah. Yeah, a great historical moment right there. And yeah Bush redeemed his stupidity a little bit with that joke. Still, he fully deserved being thrown shoes at, the dog : P "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest.
