In All Seriousness, What Charges Does Show-Thrower Face?

[tekisui]

It was classic, a perfect insult, and quite funny. But, now the Show-Thrower is in custody, being represented by Saddam's former lawyer. He was beaten by security immediately after being removed. He has been interrogated and tested from drugs.

What does he face? A fine? Prison time? Worse? He will be tried for something in Iraq, and their notorious kangaroo courts.

What does he face?

3. Being disappeared as an "enemy combattant"

He insulted Fearless Leader: he cannot be allowed to live.

4. Really?

I mean it was a pretty public scene and the shoe-ter is a public person - do you really think they can afford to just disappear him?

5. The puppet government will, at the behest of their US overlords, do an "investigation"

It will "discover" ties to whatever insurgent group recently committed a horrific act that generated much public outcry. He will be led into the Iraqi "justice" system and vanish like so many others. The government will then "crack down" on the media to "protect and defend the honor of this country and those who seflessly offer their aid."

7. Seems pretty clumsy to me

On a couple of levels. But I guess we will find out.

"The family does not know anything about where is he being held until now or his fate and we are trying to know anything by all means," Umm Hanaa, his sister, told Aswat al-Iraq over the phone.

6. Assault maybe

but his throws missed so there was no injury. Minor assault at the most.


Why would they test him for drugs though? I think that is an excuse for his interrogators to poison him.

9. Not sure of the charge but just heard he could face prison, up to 7 yrs.

Just heard it on MSNBC.

11. I heard he is being charged as a shoe-i-cide bomber

Never mind, just re-read your original post, and you said in all seriousness.
