17 years ago, Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush during a Baghdad press conference, shouting, “This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog.”

Bush dodged both shoes, and al-Zaidi was swiftly detained. The incident became a symbol of Iraqi dissent against the U.S. occupation, and al-Zaidi was later sentenced to prison but released early for good behavior.

That serves him right, I think Biden and trump deserve this treatment as well for aiding and abetting the worst genocide in the 21st century

I don't think there's any American president that didn't stain his hands with the blood of innocent people from unnecessary wars abroad, except maybe jimmy Carter

madridguy:
The guy turned to hero and the shoe treatment sweet everyone till date.

Bush himself na agbalagba Omo ita. Very Swift in action

Redoil:
the amount of continuous beating and torture the iraqi got as pay back time was much that for more than 5 years later he could not remember his name.

Only american knows how to deal ruthlessly with these type of muslim

He dudged the two shoes. If it was in my country, my president will fall from the podium and will be rushed to UK for medical checkup. He wil take 6months leave as well. And with tax payers money too.
