Shoes thrown to political leaders

why not?, we use some words they never listen, maybe by shoes they will not listen too, next time just let them, they are just donkeys.

Hi Nainesh! I believe that throwing shoes is a brutal way to protest. Now a days it is happening more. There are a lot of other decent ways to express your protest than throwing a shoe like a press release, march, or of course fasting - the Gandhi's way.

The only and only and only solution to that is to fine a thrower Rs 10K and let him spend 6 months of his life in a jail. This only can change their behavior. I mean, if I am in a school and throw my shoe to one of my teacher, then what will happen; we just saw a child lost her life due to the punishment because she was late in the school! Imagine what will happen to me! So, a fine must be done otherwise these crazy people would not stop as they will get cheap publicity!

Throwing shoes at political leaders is becomming common and this is not a good sign.I think that the people who are throwing shoes are trying to gain popularity and publicity rather than protesting.this bad way of protesting is spreading its wings in almost every nook and corner of the world.IT'S the high time to stop this way of protesting.

This shoe throwing fever has caught up really well in India hasn't it. It has become like a fashion statement to throw shoes on our netas and get some publicity. Whether our Netas deserve it is a different question altoghether. But these incidents really hog the limelight. Well if these incidents continue, it will get kinda cliched and all the hoopla surrounding will be gone !

I really don't think it's a good way to protest,what you should be against is not the certain political leader,but the bad policy he has taken.To shrow shoes to them is an insult upon human being,not a civilian should do.

The shoe is the ultimate insult in some cultures. I think if an American threw a shoe it would not have the same impact than an Iranian throwing one, unless someone were totally ignorant of the culture of the person that threw it. I think more shoes should be thrown. Our "leaders" do as they please and don't listen to the people. I think most of them should be locked up in stocks in the public square of their capitals and have rotten vegetables thrown at them.

It has a great impact for protesting. However, you must throw the shoe with a good reason, so that it can be published in the news the next day, or else you will just be hauled away and locked up. But, I feel that protest marches or mass fasting -- any form of protest in groups -- is still better than throwing shoes, because you don't have the support of others when you do it.

Hi nainesh I would consider this act as unproffesional. This is not the way to express dissatisfaction. Even thought the minister is someone that should not be respected, it is not correct to react by throwing shoes. Thanusha
