And I bet they are going to cry all about how the possibility of geting shot had nothing to do with being a HUMAN SHIELD.

good riddance. that way they dont block the streets here with their demonstration.

[QuarterBoreGunner]

Human shield huh?

So he caught a round.

Sounds like he fulfilled his function.

‘Shield ‘ does not mean ‘please don’t shoot me’

‘Shield’ means ‘I’ll take the hit to protect what’s behind me’

So.

His job is done.

Idiot!

"Wow, shooting! Let's go outside and watch."

Another American member of the group was killed on March 16 while trying to stop an Israeli military bulldozer in the Gaza Strip. She fell in front of the machine, which ran over her and then backed up, witnesses said.


Israelis, 2; Fruitcakes, 0

:rolleyes:
















:D

I hate to see people die... but if you volunter to be a human shield and then wonder why you got shot, you needed to be shot. More chlorine is needed in the gene pool.

[CampX]

Wait....is that a rubber bullet, or the real thi.............THWACK.

[Didorian]

And it looks like the amount of stupidity, was actually almost equaled by the hurt this time...... :banghead:

An American peace activist volunteering as a human shield in the West Bank was seriously wounded on Saturday WHAT?!?!? Seriously wounded??? Jeez, what is the deal with the Israelis? They need more target practice!
"Brian was shot in the face, and it looks like he was hit by a heavy caliber bullet because of the extent of the wound." Yeah, you would really know. Peacenik talks ballistics... oh-kay...who Karlsson says fired unprovoked a curfew Israeli troops were enforcing We were there illegally, but we weren't provoking anybody...

[TechBrute]

Shield’ means ‘I’ll take the hit to protect what’s behind me’

QBG, THANK YOU!!

I was just saying that to my wife when we saw it on the news. You hit the nail on the head.

[Blackhawk]

He's still in serious condition, and Fox News just reported that the IDF isn't aware of shooting anybody there or then.

Suppose his shield buddy was cleaning his AK...? :rolleyes: :D

[PsyWarrior]

OK, lets try to be double sided sheilds. We will keep the Israelis from attacking the palestinians and keep the palestinians from killing any israelis. They should have been shot from both directions at once. Let's stand in the middle of a conflict with bullets flying and we won't get shot. I promise. We are innocents and we all know that the palestinians don't kill any innocents. I mean those kids on the bus were all midgit IDF forces. Those women at the mall were just IDF supply and procurement personnel.

"We had our hands up and we were wearing vests that clearly identified us as international workers when they began firing," Karlsson said. "Brian was shot in the face, and it looks like he was hit by a heavy caliber bullet because of the extent of the wound."


Next time, rather that a vest that identifies them as international workers, they might try a big tall yellow cone hat with the Hebrew word for DUNCE written on it. Might stand out a little better.
I thought "heavy caliber bullets" to the face left more of a "neck stump" than an exit wound. Bet it was a 223.

S-

[Blackhawk]

I'm betting 7.62x39.... :D

[Coronach]

"Brian was shot in the face, and it looks like he was hit by a heavy caliber bullet because of the extent of the wound."OK, newsflash...if Brian still has a face, it was not a heavy caliber round. :rolleyes:

Mideast peace activist shot
Sunday 6 April 2003, 10:05 AM




An American peace activist working as a volunteer "human shield" in the West Bank was seriously wounded when Israeli troops allegedly opened fire on him.

Brian Avery, 24, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, heard shots fired and came out of his apartment building in Jenin to investigate just as an armoured personnel carrier rounded a corner, said Tobias Karlsson, a fellow activist from Sweden.

Both Avery and Karlsson are members of the Palestinian-backed group International Solidarity Movement.

Members often insert themselves between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers to try to stop Israeli military operations.

"We had our hands up and we were wearing vests that clearly identified us as international workers when they began firing," Karlsson said.




"Brian was shot in the face, and it looks like he was hit by a heavy calibre bullet because of the extent of the wound."

Avery was taken to a Jenin hospital but will be transferred to an Israeli hospital.

The army said there were reports of homemade firebombs being thrown at troops and that it returned fire at gunmen in the area.

The army, however, said it was not aware of hitting anyone.

An officer said that Palestinians were also shooting, and it was unclear whose bullet hit Avery.

Karlsson, who said he didn't see any gunmen in the area, said he, Avery and a Palestinian medical worker not with the group were approached slowly by the troops and stood with their hands up for about 10 minutes.

There was no communication with the soldiers, who Karlsson says fired unprovoked.

Avery was semiconscious when taken in the ambulance, Karlsson said.

There were few Palestinians on the streets because of a curfew Israeli troops were enforcing.

Another American member of the group was killed on March 16 while trying to stop an Israeli military bulldozer in the Gaza Strip. She fell in front of the machine, which ran over her and then backed up, witnesses said.
