Israel's ambassador to Sweden is the latest politician to fall victim to a shoe thrower, reports the Jerusalem Post. Ambassador Benny Dagan was addressing students at Stockholm University, where he had been invited to speak on the upcoming elections in Israel, when a young woman in the audience hurled a shoe at him, hitting him in the chest. According to a statement by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who had members at the scene, the woman, along with a young man, then shouted "Murderers!" and "Intifada!" while pelting Dagan with books and a notepad. Police arrested two people, a 35-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman, immediately after the incident, reports Sweden's The Local.This is the third shoe-throwing incident recently. Former US President Bush was targeted by a shoe thrower on a visit to Iraq in December and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao was targeted during a speech at Cambridge University earlier this month.
Hit him right in the chest. Shoe throwing is getting pretty popular. I would keep standing there until the panties got thrown in.....then i could leave with a smile..
Oh Please! Do you have any idea how much a pair of Jimmy Choo's or Christian Louboutin's go for? I doubt this will catch on in North America.
No, I dont..... I would stop by a thrift store and get some la gears before the meeting.......some smelly ones too...
Same here, no way would I be throwing one of my own shoes, epic waste of a fashionable shoe
