Here’s a tip ... keep your sniveling kid at home next time.

[Soothesayer]

He was probably standing near Palestinians throwing large stone. Why should Israel take responsibility for this guy’s stupidity?

[WayneS]

Tip #2 - Don’t stand where a tear gas canister is about to be.

[sinanju]

Thirty-eight years old!

What was his business model? Had he found a way to find job security as a full-time globe-trotting rabble rouser?

[humblegunner]

To shoot peaceful demonstrators is really horrifying to us. What we want to ask is that the Israeli government publicly take full responsibility for the shooting of our son."

More like a bonking than a shooting.

Tear gas cannisters are not generally considered projectile weapons.

He got bonked.

[boomop1]

He graduated from tree sitter to a humble terrorist supporting tear gas canister target.

He is probably still on his parents Health Plan and it is costing them a lot. That is why they are complaining. Hurry up and get them BambiCare.

[GOP Poet]

You little dude is responsible for his own actions. Your first concern should have been when your child decided to become a ‘Peace Activist,’ instead of a Vet or a business man, or an engineer. You know a real job. Not a Marxist tool.

[fish hawk]

When it hit him in the forehead he thought, “damn, I should have had a V8”

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Ditto. His @ss shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

[TheBattman]

Gee... just another example of liberals not wanting to exercise personal responsibility - always blaming others for their own screw-ups.

Word to the wise - don’t want to be treated like a terrorist - then don’t hang out with them.... seems pretty simple to me.

Maybe Tristan shouldn’t have stuck his nose in where it didn’t belong. I blame “Nancy and Michael” as much as Tristan himself.

Take a lesson from it, leftist morons.

[pissant]

High velocity teargas cannister? LOL

[AngryJawa]

As they say:

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Tristan’s major problem is he has parents that still think of him as a child at the age of 38.

[dalereed]

Justice would be to kill her!

[techcor]

He got hit by a tear gas cannister. Cry me a river.

[domenad]

You want justice? Have the IDF put a Desert Eagle in the punk's ear and be done with it.

As I say on absolutely every post that mentions the ISM, I would have run over Rachel Corrie twice and if she was back today, I'd be first in line to do it again. I'd be FIRST IN LINE.

He’s lucky it wasn’t a bulldozer.
