On the Olde Continent, a perpetrator will throw a pie in some government poobah's face or pepper someone with a BB gun, which later gets describes more ominously as a gas-powered ball bearing firearm. Then there's your drunken soccer hooligan mob swarm, 16th century sword attack or butter knife stabbing.
The London Daily Mail reports:
Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card...when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend 'Believe'.Translation: An unemployable skinhead with a 3rd grade education plinked a black immigrant with a BB gun.
The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting 'I f***ing hate n*****s' and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him.
The attacker then fired the gas-powered ball-bearing pistol three times, hitting the civil servant in the face, hand and shoulder.
Missing from the story was the reaffirmation that world citizen Obama really is the World's candidate. Throwing off our moonshine-guzzling, racist hick past and electing Mr. Obama is the only way to prevent more of these egregious BB gun attacks.
