Shoes and books hurled at Israeli Envoy

February 06, 2009 Deutsche Presse-Agentur

STOCKHOLM -- Israel's ambassador to Sweden was hit when a shoe and books were thrown at him as he was giving a lecture at Stockholm University, radio reports said Thursday.

Benny Dagan was talking about upcoming elections in his country Wednesday night when the objects were hurled at him from the audience of 50 people. Police at the event took two people into custody.

Project Blue Beam? HARRP? A bugout bag? Who needs these things when we all have shoes?

New World Order meet the people's ultimate weapon; smelly thrown shoes!

The Chinese Prime Minister had a shoe thrown at him during a Cambridge University visit in England this week too.

Shoes are becoming the weapons of choice and they don't even have to be stilletos.

If you were going to throw one of your shoes at a political figure who would it be and what shoe would you throw?

Wow I just discovered why some people claim you can never have too many shoes!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed just how popular shoe-throwing has become , that Iraqi reporter has created quite the rage I can't think of a more ultimate chic insult than throwing one's shoes at your enemies

If I go to a protest I'll bring all my rotten shoes and launch them at targets.

I'm glad I never threw those out now.

Waste not want not! If the politicians remembered a little more home spun wisdom and addages they likely wouldn't be take classes on how to duck a shoe!

Thanks for your post.

Why not fill the shoe with some poo??
That I would love to see!!!

I don't have time for a proper reply, I have to go to the shoe range for some shoe target practice.

First, they came for your guns, now they're coming for your shoes.

No wonder men used to try to keep their mates barefooted.

I know a few people who would be a lot more likely to fight over their shoes than their guns!

I'd buy a brand new pair of shoes for a bum, trade him for his pair and then throw two.

The Left one to Benjamin Netenyahu
The Right one to Tzipora Livni

Both filled with dog excrement.

I would ask the dog first and see if he wants his excrement so sullied!

It seems to me that would end up being an improvement over their normal state.
