Three years for throwing a shoe? Wow, just as well he didn't throw a grenade...maybe a pity too. Sorry, I should not say things like that but sometimes the world's idea of justice really makes me mad!

That makes " shoethrower " aimed better and make them think to invent nuclear shoe !.

I am disgusted at this. The only person in that room who should be sent to prison is the bastard who invaded a country on a lie, killed 1000's in the process and allowed it afterwards to fall into chaos and lawlessness.
