1. If that was thrown *AT* him, it was a really crappy aim.

[NastyRiffraff]

2. Yeah he's a big target

Hard to miss that giant gut.

[SoCalNative]

13. Yeah, especially for an NRA member

[A HERETIC I AM]

19. No shit, huh?

Too bad spending time at the range doesn't include a baseball bullpen!

[Chin music]

3. Not ok to throw shit, even AT shit. Shades of sandals in Iraq...only

The Thrower was a worse SHOT (NRA members should be expert 'shots', shouldnt they?), than the Iraqi guy getting TWO sandals off at Bush. Wow. That was really something. Bush actually didged them. wow. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Old lard ass was already walking out slowly, like he'd been warned of crowd hostility.
You know...If I belonged to an Association that I believed in, advertised for w stickers and tshirts in a local setting, I'd be really pissed at what trumps done to their thing. The rank and file surely didnt know that butinas NRA was donating big re-election bucks to gop candidates...most importantly, mcconnell (I dont capitalize it on purpose)and probably Paul Ryan too. SO GLAD THAT A hole is gone. Wow. We were so close to the edge. History is being written.

4. Missed him by 20 feet. Where's that W shoe throwing guy when ya need him?

5. Mussolini without the brains. America, bye bye

All of this because you know who gave ONE SPEECH to wall street

FUCK YOU TILL THE END OF TIME IF YOU EVER BROUGHT THAT UP DURING THE ELECTION

6. Bush the Younger had shoes thrown at him...

8. W had pretty good reflexes. I don't think Spanky could have done as well.

14. Trump would likely have been hit in the face with a size 10 shoe. ..

That would definitely hurt.

[Dave Starsky]

15. If there's anything good I could ever say about GWB...

It's that he masterfully dodged that shoe. That was some seriously Jedi-level action. I am still impressed by that.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. Yeah, me too.

He was ducking pretty good.

[northoftheborder]

21. Yeah - quick duck, still smiling, showing no fear, twice!

[hunter]

22. Bush probably has lots of practice.

His mom and his wife seem the sort who would throw things.

[mercuryblues]

23. bush had plenty of practice ducking flying objects

[GusBob]

7. I think some NRA members might be upset about this Russia stuff

Not as it applies to Trump, but to them

Seems to me these gun nut types might not be into playing footsie with Russia

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Was it still attached to the phone booth?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. That is a crappy throw

[mr_lebowski]

18. Phones have a pretty shitty profile in terms of a throwable object ...

You'd have to really practice, throwing it 'knife' style to get at all good at winging one, and no matter how good you were it'd be hard to be very accurate over I'd say about 20 feet tops ...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. No worse than shoes, and that guy in Iraq would have nailed his target if W hadn't been so quick.

W was as dumb as a box of hammers but he had ninja reflexes.

[mr_lebowski]

28. A shoe at least if it's of significant heft, you can get it to fly somewhat straight

If you throw with enough force

Throwing a phone is like throwing a postcard.

17. DING !

extra points 😜

✌🏼️

[underpants]

26. 😆

[Doreen]

12. He is a big enough target.

Missing him is kind of like saying you missed the broad side of a barn.

I would never ever throw something at him because I would not miss and he is not worth getting into trouble for.

[IndyOp]

20. Geez. Don't throw your phone!

Throw a shoe or bag of dog poop 💩

[tanyev]

30. I know, right? Gotta wonder how many "egg farmers" were seriously tempted last Sunday.

[2naSalit]

25. What a blow-it case!

Throw your phone with all that info on it!

[ProudLib72]

27. Who brings a phone to an NRA meeting anyway?

[Blue Owl]

29. The assailant really phoned in that toss

n/t

[smirkymonkey]

33. Ugh! So much puke in one room!

I hate that song and I hate that man with such a passion. Someone help me pull my head out of the wall.
