3 years is too long.

[EasyRider 3]

It would have been worth the three years if he would have nailed the #######.

3 years is too long.

I agree, that is ridiculous. That was the minimum, it could of been 15yrs. They dont mess around over there!

No one should be able to do that to the President of the United States.

3 years? Heck there are people in Iraq who've either killed our soldiers or civilians walking around scott -free .

3 years? What do you think would happen right here in the USA if some clown assaulted Obama with a custard pie...much less throwing 2 shoes at him?

Really! Assaulting heads of state is serious sh*t.

This shoe throwing moron got what he deserves.

Absolutely and it should not be taken lightly.

I was thinking about pie throwing....does anybody know what kind of charge that brings?

i'm surprised he still has his hands.

Irrelevant as the point is you don't want the President assaulted. What if the shoe or the pie has biological or chemical agents?

If it had happened to Obama it wouldn't have been seen as a joke but as a death threat.

Do you anyone who's been killed from someone throwing a shoe at them? Or pie? I'll agree it's a form of assault, but death threat? Hardly.

Since it was the minimum... he should consider himself lucky! Doing something like that in front of the world just wasn't the smartest thing to do... he deserves time for just being stupid!

A bit closer, someone threw custard at Gordon Brown, so we might find out. It was 'green' custard, that might garner a more hefty charge.

Sorry, not Brown, Mandelson, almost the same.
