"Emily, how many times have I told you. . . ."
Nobody expects the tear gas canister.
Small fiddle.
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
Till somebody loses an eye;
It stings like the blazes, it makes you pull faces,
You can’t let your mates see you cry.
A dashing black patch will cover the hatch,
And make sure that the socket stays dry;
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
Till somebody loses an eye.

Sorry she was maimed, she was playing big-girl games and some choices can have bad results.
Oh well, she could get a one-eye veil, favored by some muslim clerics.

I feel more sorrow for the 3 Americans held prisoners in Iran but they made bad choices as well.
This girl is at least coming home, thanks to Israel. Iran isn’t so kind....
I guess she just didn’t see eye to eye with Israel.
I just think it’s weird how so many of these “protesters” who stand with the freedom haters are all “college students”. What the hell is going on in those joints anyway!
I just have a REALLY hard time mustering up any sympathy... so I’ll stop.
Almost as stupid as Rachel Corrie.
Gotta keep an eye out for those tear gas canisters.
She can sing to her boyfriend...”I Only Have Eye For You.”
[Can’t...resist...]
It was all fun and games until...
Emily, Jerusalem riots just aren’t really the same thing as those College Park riots after a big game. Not the same thing at all. I am sorry this was such a difficult lesson.
I can’t believe it, I just heard that Hillary made a statement, saying that the US stands behind the UN in it’s condemnation of Israel.
Last night, I heard John McCain say that when Netanyahu visited the White House, not only did Obama keep his waiting, Obama went upstairs and had dinner with his family and never came back down.
This is the hazard one takes when one participates in rallies where they tend to turn violent and to break them up the police need to use teargas. Sorry about her eye but it is the risk you take with the crowd she runs with.
This reminds me of when the Marxists used young useful idiots as cannon fodder during the Viet Nam protests against the US government. Think about how it worked against the US during that time. Israel is screwed.
