In Australia:
Senator Strikes Back


It's a video on CNN .. but I'm sure it's surfaced elsewhere.

I hope Sen Anning Does NOT get any backlash for this.
The kid is clearly doing it to make a viral post.
YouTube, Facebook and all social media should suspend the kid's account immediately.

After all, who "just happens" to bring an egg to a news conference?

I know that the right is going to be dreadfully appalled by this, but I think it is f__ing hilarious.

This kid assaults the senator with an uncooked egg; indeed a very dangerous weapon!

In return, the senator demonstrated good reflexes and defensive skills in smacking the crap out of his assailant (rightfully so)....

...at which point 3 or 4 guys tackle the kid (rightfully so)...

...the police then do their job and arrest the kid (rightfully so)...

All in all, way better than an episode of SNL.



PS
I am reminded of the Pieing trend (mostly in the 1970's I think), though Bill Gates got pied in the late 1990".

So apparently it is OK to egg politicians for a viral video.

Well that's good. Mr Trump is coming to town later this week!

This will be the new viral YouTube Challenge - "Egg your Politician"

Or maybe a pie
or a water balloon
or a shoe
or a horseshoe
or .....

2001...

Bill Clinton was pelted by an egg as he exited an antique store in Warsaw, Poland, by a 19-year-old protester. Clinton removed his jacket and continued strolling through the city...

...later he remarked that it’s “good for young people to be angry about something.”


Wait!

What!?

He didn't cry...He didn't complain... He didn't hit anyone...

He just accepted the egg attack and moved on in a mature manner.

Was the protester holding a smartphone so he can go viral on youtube?

I guess the thing that irks me is that he is apparently doing it for social media purposes.

Yeah, maybe he also disagrees or doesn't like the guy, but it's the devil's tool that drove him to it.

... Hmmm... I wonder if that could be a legal defense?

Social Media is addictive and those who are addicted do stupid s***.


And if you do stupid s***, you must suffer the consequences - like getting boxed in the ear - because dumbass stood within striking distance.

Probably not... it was 2001... a short time before most social media took off.

As to the videoing for social media, in law enforcement terms it shows intent and premeditation.

Often premeditation and intent not only prove a crime, but prove a more serious crime... and in any case usually provide irrefutable proof/evidence of the crime...

...or even just bad behavior...

...as a side note not meant to derail this discussion, that is why I am an avid reader of a certain president's twitter feed; it unequivocally demonstrates his mindset, intent and (essentially) premeditation. When we see a person recording their own behavior, questions of "intent" vs "accident go out the window.

(Back on topic) thus we know without a doubt what exactly this kid was trying to do: embarrass the senator, or at least obtain a video to be probably used to embarrass the senator.

The kid, from what I can tell, got his comeuppance.

yes - the "smartphone" question was ... rhetorical.

Intent / Video / Derail (it's my thread and I can derail if I want
Make me think:

My wife watches a lot of these "Dateline"-type murder investigations.

One guy - quite purposely - was walking around, back and forth of security cameras at the time a murder was taking place to prove he was not the murderer .... (he hired someone else to do it)

.. and I forget if this was the one where he didn't pay the trigger-man - so Trigger-man spilled the beans when he was being questioned by police.
