Was it someone who opposed his politics or an angry husband or father?

**Nobody wears them ugly-ass shoes. Not anymore.**

Could be a form of re-gifting then? Like rendering to Caesar?

Na. Probably a BBC News reporter. Silvio’s lucky he didn’t get drawn and quartered.

I’m watching video of the attack on FOX now.

The attacker is a 32 year old male. He may have hit him with a rock. I wonder if the attacker will turn out to be a Muslim or a leftist? He looks like he’s Italian rather than North African but who knows?

Sorry. I can’t joke about this. It is one thing to disagree with someone and their policies. But to throw something that will cause injury is just unjustified. Remember, someone threw a tomato at Sarah Palin while she was holding her little son. Thank God it did not hit her or the baby. I didn’t think that was funny either nor did a lot of other people. It’s out of control. Call me a prude or whatever but this kind of behavior is nothing but street thugging and crude.

No, you’re right. The guy who did this is a thug. He’ll end up in jail I’m sure.

Agree but I would have no regrets if it happened to the likes of Barney Frank.

No, you’re right.

There’s only a small line between this and an assasination. Hit in the head with a rock? I’ve heard of folks dying from lesser blows.
