Hand grenade thrown at Bush

Wonderful (BBC)

 

Bush makes a speech in Georgia and someone throws a fragmentation grenade that lands thirty metres away from him. It didn't go off and probably wasn't meant to, but it's unsettling, still.

 

Wonderful security, that. It'll make Americans even more paranoid, too, even though this didn't even happen in the States.

Really, this is not wonderful at all. It will only give him more reason to take away more civil liberties in the interest of "security."

 

If only they had a sniper instead of a grenadier... ;)

Well... maybe...

It says in the article that the grenade has a range of 20-25 meters...

I thought it was like, wrapped in something and placed next to him. I don't really know.

 

I wonder how he feels being one of the most known and most hated person in the world?

Just fine, probably, what with all the money he earns from Iraq and his other shady business...:rolleyes:

 

These damn terrorists need to remember to pull the pins of their grenades. They could use some target practice, too:D...

 

I'd have used a sniper rifle from a kilometer or two away, myself. Amazing that no one's done that yet: There've been attempts at terrorist attacks (Reid the shoe bomber, for example), but no assassination attempts against Bush? Strange as Heck.

Hell, just get any hunting rifle anywhere near by and just put a slug in his chest. Not funny, yes, cause it would suck. Even though he is an idiot. :-\

maybe the guy was at the back or tried to be discreet by not throwing but by tossing it

So?

 

Personally, I wouldn't care if Bush got assassinated.

 

I'm not saying it would be a good thing whatsoever.

 

But, he's just put America and his own safety in the crapper because of his actions, and I have no sympathy for him, because he's done no good for me personally.

 

So, meh.

I also don't find it funny. And a sniper rifle would've made no difference, as the stage he was on was protected by bulletproof glass. And anyways, it's pretty sad when you hope it would kill the president, when it would also have killed innocent civilians supporting the president's view of continued democracy for the ex-Soviet country.

I don't know about that.... And if I shouldn't take this seriously because it's in a lounge, then why are we even talking about this if there's no point to it?

Well, I don't really think he should die just for this. Maybe put him in solitary confinement for the rest of his life. That would be nice. :D
