Throwing shoe at your (or the world's) enemy is no way of way of getting rid of social problems, nor is it something that would really help people get rid of evil in the world. Committing another crime is no way of taking revenge.
Seriously, Bush killed more than millions of lives...do you really think throwing a shoe at his face is what is going to punish him for all the aweful crime he had comitted? I don't think so. Infact the person who had so foolishly done this is now suffering in jail, be it for only one year. So who is the one loosing here? Bush or the show thrower?
I can understand the amount of hatred that man felt for Bush to do such a blunt act...but people needs to use their brain and think rationally, instead os just doing what comes to your heart. If that guy would have tried to punish Bush for what he [Bush] really is and has done, then the man [shoe thrower] would have earned a greater respect from my side.
I'm not saying that the guy who did this was evil. I would never say that. Maybe if I had gotten a chance to stand near Bush, I would have done the same, or probably something worse...but that wouldn't make my action righteous either. People need to punish the evildoer using lawful method...
And people SERIOUSLY needs to stop celebrating what that guy had done...this will encourage the youth population to do the same (if they have the nerve, that is!) and hey, that might end up them all being in jail. Personally, I am astonished at how come that guy wasn't killed..I mean the amount of power Bush has, he could have easily killed off the guy [but maybe Bush realized killing him would be useless as he isn't something to be afraid of, on the first place..]. We need to find proper way of punishing the evildoer, not something that would instead punish us back, and would do nothing to the person we wanted to punish.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english...had to write down in a hurry...
