Scott Morrison Egged By A Beanie

[icyfroth]

Scott Morrison was egged by a female protester at a Liberal Party election campaign event on Tuesday morning.

A 25-year-old wearing a red beanie and a T-shirt reading 'feminist' targeted the Prime Minister at the Country Women's Association in Albury, New South Wales.

The egg missed but the assailant's hand slammed into Mr Morrison's head before his bodyguards grabbed her and wrestled her from the venue where she was arrested by police.

It later emerged the woman accused of the violent protest describes herself as a university student and casual retail worker.

After the egg was thrown, Mr Morrison appeared shocked and rubbed the back of his head as his bodyguards descended on the woman. The egg was later found unbroken.

instead of 'live debates' can we not have all the politicians in those carnaval dump tanks so the voters can try to dump em into, well water i suppose as they prolly wouldnt allow what we would like to dump them into.

might make them try harder at serving us and not themselves.

I think the us and them thing needs to be put on hold when a politician becomes the victim of violence, irrespective of what party the person belongs to. If an individual does not draw the line at violence then it tells us more about that person than the politician.

You mean like when the PM doesn't draw the line on violence and let's our airforce drop bombs on women and children half a wolrld away. More eggs.Hard boiled. Make them Ostrich!!.

I rest my case.

You may not personally agree with our country's involvement in various conflicts, but that's neither here nor there as you haven't been elected to represent others. Nor has beanie woman.

The PM and his party are elected to govern. That doesn't mean everyone in the country will agree with their policies, but there's a way to show if you disagree and it's in the ballot box.

I could maybe live with it if they were brought in front of a war crimes commission but they never are. Funny that.

This girl must be mentally deranged.   Seriously.

She was just weeks off a good behaviour bond for another assault, when she egged ScoMo.

And then she eggs him while carrying marijuana!

She didn't think she would be arrested and searched?

She most likely does have some issues.

The real worry is that people like this (and much worse) are among us and I'm not sure she should have been able to get quite so close to the PM in the first place. That egg could have been a knife.

Oh and no, a lot of people, especially younger ones, don't stop and wonder, "Now, what do i think might happen if I do this?"

eg they'll hit someone, get hit back somehow, then act surprised.  I'd guess that she is feeling proud of herself, which is why the sentence should be hefty enough to wipe the smile off her face.
