It's a punishment because he missed!, not because he threw it.


DevilsAngel
Yes! Its wrong. I wish he had of thrown a brick. Ater all the innocent people that have died because of Bush! He should be the one in jail.

Even though I don't agree with the guy that did it, and though I can SEE why he did it... Yeah, I think time in jail is harsh PERIOD... :/ It's not like he was trying to murder the Former President... He was just trying to convey what he felt and what the rest of his people felt...

3 years in jail i think he should be sent to a really nice jail and have a team of concubines and servents. Plus he should be allowed to come and go as he pleases.

yeah totally harsh!

if that was any normal citizen it would be thrown out of court!!!!

why should he b treated differently after all who is George Bush now a nobody EXACTLY!!!


Croxx
Yeah!

It's outrageous - a month if that surely?

In the UK it would be a £100 fine I would guess.

Bush should do something and get this passionate man released ASAP.

Edit - at the bare minimum he should be made to take lessons in throwing shoes more accurately!

Is it for throwing the shoe or missing the target?

This is already posted somewhere else today. I'll repeat what I said there, it is much too harsh and he will be a hero, which I think he already was, in his own country.

I know!! And a muslim peer in the UK who was texting whilst driving, and who's driving caused the death of another person gets 16 days. Justice????

He should have hurled a grenade.

Yes very.. I mean its the law I guess but I honestly think Bush deserved it.. I kinda wish he would have gotten hit. Though I have to say he made some pretty good dodges... We found his one talent.. dodging things.

It would be to us, but it is a grave offense in the Muslim world. It is an extreme sign of disrespect. We don't prosecute assault or disrespect like that in this country, but Iraq is a different story. Their are insults and words in the Muslim world that don't even compare to insults and words in the Western world.

The west treats Muslims harshly,but not as harshly as one muslim to another.They treat each other like dirt,yet complain about the west.He is a hero to a lot of people and now pays the price

Teach him not to aim at the head, aim where it will do some damage.


rheen f
definitely harsh-- he's already been thru quite a bit in the jail--and now 3 years? He wasn't planning on assasinating him-- Yes -it was a world leader-- but one that caused so much strife. Wonder what would have happened if it was an American throwing a shoe? and what if it wasn't the worst form of insult for Arabs?

Bush should have been given the BOOT years ago , anyway the guy should get an award NOT a jail sentence


Spartan
Nope, he got what he deserved.

Lucky it was only a size 10.

(if he'd have been a Muslim Lord he'd have got away with it).

No.


oldmarine08
It was an assault on a Foreign Leader and you think that was harsh! If Saddam was still in control there and that happened it would have been death!

He should have been shot on site for assaulting a head of state. 3 years is a slap on the wrist.

No. What an idiot.

If Obama had a shoe thrown at him, libs would want the death penalty.

As much as I applaud his demonstration, and as much as I disagree with Bush, this guy did attack the President of the United States. That's pretty big.
