That journalist is gonna be a hero over there. :haha:

On a more serious note though...man, where was the Secret Service? If that dude would have had a gun he could have done something much worse with the time and proximity he had to act.

Hitting with shoes

The shoe equates the person with the dirt people step on

The imagery is strong - shoes are a symbol of "dirt and degradation" in the Arab world, says Professor Faleh Jabar, a writer on Iraqi culture.

"Going into someone's house or a mosque, you would always take your shoes off first. Shoes are used to beat servants, thieves, prostitutes; it indicates servility. Were you to beat your children, this would be done with a stick or the hand, but never shoes."

How's the secret service supposed to stop someone from throwing a shoe? :haha:

I wonder how long he gets jailed for that...
