This was what one 'Txt the Editor' submission in today's Townsville Bulletin had to say:
___________________________
2 the guy who threw shoe at johnny howard, good 2 c someone so strong against war that they r willing 2 use violence 2 get their point across. Imagine if he was pm [sic, emphasis mine]

As for the ambushing shoe-thrower, I hope his anger held out for the entire walk home...

...now that I think about it, I wonder if the author was being sarcastic...
Ah well...
Yeah, my impression was that the texter was being sarcastic. However, I have been somewhat irritated with those who've been like "if violence isn't the answer, then john howard shouldn't have gone to war". People like that need to get their head out of the sand. There is a difference between someone having a temper tantrum and throwing their shoe at another person when there are many more other more mature options, and getting rid of a mass murderer who hid behind governmental authority when there are no other options left to you.
hehehehe saw it scooter
Did you comment get posted?? What did it say? :)
Agreed Leah. Tricky balance. Would protesters prefer that we leave so many people under a murderous regime?
Carly, I can't recall what I said exactly. Something sarcastic of my own. I probably should have read their comment a bit more closely, but it didn't seem sarcastic at the time!
