Israel isn’t America, dude. You get hurt there.
Looks like he needs a shower...
where were the bulldozers?
Darwin award
One of my greatest fears is dying after being hit on the noggin with a tear gas canister. What a lousy and embarrassing way to go out.
Those vicious Israelis! You know that Hamas is really the good guys because they never use evil cruel weapons like tear gas.
ok the sarcasm light is now back off.
While I am sorry that the young man was seriously injured, I’m also praying that this ‘hit’ might have realigned his brain.
Put me down for 0 cents.
1000% guilty.
Of everything.
Ever.
I guess activism has a price after all, huh?
The nagain, activism doesn’t teach you to duck.
Then again, why worry about it? Just give him a copy of “Your Life, Your Choices.”
If it’s good eough for our Veterans, it should be good enough for an activist.
Are they sure he wouldn’t be better off “just taking the pain pill?”

West Bank versus the Special City
San Francisco Chronicle (CA) - Thursday, March 19, 2009
Author: Debra J. Saunders
When Tristan Anderson , now 38, was living illegally in the trees at UC Berkeley to protest the administration’s ultimately successful bid to cut down the trees to build a sports training center, life was good. For 21 months, Berkeley’s tree sitters happily fouled their nests with little interference from the authorities. Their biggest fear was falling.
When Berkeley finally erected barbed-wire fences and began to shine spotlights on the canopy campers, the tree huggers complained that UC had turned their grove into “Guantanamo.” UC retaliated by giving the tree sitters energy bars.
In June 2008, Anderson , who went by the name “Cricket,” was arrested, charged with trespassing and violating a court order - and still he was able to chat happily with reporters.
Segue to the West Bank last week. Anderson had joined pro-Palestinian protesters in the village of Naalin, where he was seriously wounded when an Israeli-fired tear-gas canister hit him on the head.

Is it just me or does he have a sort of scruffy, Middle Eastern Mr. Bean thing going?
Was this picture taken before or after being hit in the head?
The malfunctioning brain seems to be a pre-existing medical condition.
He should have kept his head in his butt as usual!
Goodbye Mis-ter Ander-son.

How about some nice commie Zimbabwean dollars instead?
