NEW DELHI ? An angry Sikh journalist threw a shoe at India's top security official after a confrontational exchange during a news conference over the 1984 anti-Sikh riots that left thousands dead.

The shoe missed Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram, who continued taking questions Tuesday as officials escorted the journalist away.

The journalist, Jarnail Singh, was taken into police custody, but released after questioning, said police spokesman Rajan Bhagat.




"If shoes are outlawed only criminals will have shoes"
Shoebetcha.

I'd like to think of that Iraqi journalist who threw the shoe at bush as more of a hero than a criminal

He was an coward and an idiot, and I never was a big Bush fan.

He can reflect on the wisdom of his move during the next 3 years he will spend in jail.

Assholes, him, not you.

Who throws a shoe? I mean really!

 

[SAWYER]

He was probably throwing it at a rat or a roach that was scurrying up the wall in that nasty-ass place

See what happens when you start civilizing the rest of the world and bringing up their standard of living? They now have shoes to hurl at people.

That guy is getting some surprise buttsecks every night in an Iraqi jail for the next 3 years.

Ehhh, this is old news now.

They need to come up with something better.

That guy sure was calm seeing a shoe coming at him. Must be used to it.

It's epidemic now. :disgust:

Government officials in that area should get training in dodging shoes. Maybe a green belt for dodging, brow for catching and black for throwing it back. They could get a lot of internet rep if a video was posted of them catching shoes thrown at them.

Throwing your shoe at someone is a huge insult in their culture.

No one cares about India in P&N. It'll probably would have died there with 2 posts and 20 views.
