Are you mad?<br /><br />"I do not want to see one of them shot for their juvenile behavior."<br /><br />I didn't say that they needed to be shot for the pie. Punched to the ground for the pie. Perhaps beaten with a nightstick for the pie. Certainly hurt badly enough to stop his actions and to serve as a warning to others.<br /><br />The problem is that no one has any idea if the person with the "pie" has a pie, or some sort of dangerous chemical done up to look like a pie. <br /><br />Also, no one knows if the pie thrower is the main attack or a diversion for the main attack. <br /><br />Here's a test. Take a pie and try to throw it at the sitting President. Do you think that they will laugh it off? Or will you get dogpiled and beat down and possibly shot? And in the confusion the President will be hustled off to safety because no one knows if you are just a diversion for a real assassin. <br /><br />If I ever have security, that's what they will be trained to do. Since I don't have security, and have little chance of ever needing it, I will just beat the ever loving (deleted) out of whoever tries it.Sean D Sorrentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710448105506060349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-46628460225586838582011-07-24T20:09:06.804-04:002011-07-24T20:09:06.804-04:00Crime?

No pun intended.<br /><br />But what I WILL say is that if I'm ever in public life and someone does a stunt like that to me, my reaction will be to grab the pie, ask someone for a fork, wipe off my face if they hit me, and continue whatever I was doing while having myself some pie. Makes no sense to let a perfectly good pie go to waste, IMHO.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565391786475786128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-92135692843212753412011-07-24T17:56:41.558-04:002011-07-24T17:56:41.558-04:00I do not want to see one of them shot for their ju...I do not want to see one of them shot for their juvenile behavior. I do want to see the intended target put a gun in the attacker's face and say, "Go ahead. Make my day."<br /><br />"An armed society is a polite society."<br /><br />The pie-attack is really just an attempt to humiliate the target, take him down a peg. It is envy and resentment of success. I want the pie-thrower to wet himself and be himself humiliated.<br /><br />I think Rupert Murdoch is deeply in love with his wife again and is showering her with flowers and gifts. ;)Marc Malonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-47889690592053138832011-07-24T13:42:30.453-04:002011-07-24T13:42:30.453-04:00A little off-point, since it was both consensual a...A little off-point, since it was both consensual and show biz, but I still love The Three StoogesRon Wallenfangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-87203499217311608632011-07-24T12:32:17.108-04:002011-07-24T12:32:17.108-04:00If I ever end up in a position where I have securi...If I ever end up in a position where I have security, I will instruct them that should someone attempt to assault me, whether with knife, gun, or pie, they are to be put down with whatever force that can be brought to bear. <br /><br />I'd like to see a pie thrower punched to the ground and put into the hospital.Sean D Sorrentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710448105506060349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-88470961650460873342011-07-24T12:22:20.349-04:002011-07-24T12:22:20.349-04:00PS- You know when we'll start seeing and heari...PS- You know when we'll start seeing and hearing how bad this tactic is and see widespread condemnation of it?<br /><br />When a prominent Democrat politician is the victim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-41462371376457866402011-07-24T12:20:45.419-04:002011-07-24T12:20:45.419-04:00I'll have a good laugh the next time one of th...I'll have a good laugh the next time one of these idiot pie throwers is shot dead by an alert security guard.

The last two sentences of that article are:<br /><br />"But I would like to see him spend a few days in jail. It’s also a good place to meet more executives from NewsCorp."<br /><br />T.A. Frank, you are a world-class pussy. You couldn't complete a single short article saying that violence is bad, even when directed against a target your friends dislike. So in a sad little obsequious gesture, you assure your readers that you, too, hate the target of the violence.
