Pic: American Moonbat Zapped with Rubber Bullet in Israel!
2008-02-24
Pic at link, graphic and probably NSFW.
Shanbo Heinemann,
"Shanbo Heiniemann"? That's gotta be an alias.
a pro-Palestinian activist from San Francisco, California, sits on the ground after being shot in the head with a rubber bullet fired by Israeli troops during a violent protest against Israel's security fence in the West Bank village of Bilin, February 22, 2008.
Yeeehaw! Oh, sorry. This is a dreadful sight :)

#56  That should have read,

dropped to the ground

#55  Minor abrasion. Looks like the rubber bullet hit him a glancing blow.

Rubber bullets are designed to cause painful bruising injuries and are normally fired at the legs of protestors.

This idiot probably dropped to the group to 'duck' the rubber bullet and got hit in the head as a result.

#53  Shanbo: "'tis merely a flesh wound."

IDF: "Whattya gonna do...bleed on me?"

I count that as one wasted rubber/plastic bullet. Shoulda been the real deal.

#52  STOP, That's NO WAY to get a HOLY FOREHEAD SCAR! You're suppose to hit your forehead on the pavement!

#51  My friend had a few of them on his mantle in Belfast.

Mounting dead people over your mantel has to be a new level of badass.

#50  What was he doing with dead people on his mantle ?
Posted by: wxjames   2008-02-24 18:17  

#49  He'll probably go back to join the protesters in front of the Marine recruitment center.
A real war hero...

#48  Rubber Bullets, or baton rounds, can be deadly at close range. There were over a dozen people killed in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. My friend had a few of them on his mantle in Belfast. You would not want to be hit with one.

#47  With one simple day of protesting he gets to look like he's been banging his head on the floor of a mosque five times a day every day for his whole life.

#45  "further damaged"?

OTOH, he'll have a great Islamic callus

Oh yeah? Then why is he in Gaza?

#40  On a side note note, I don't think I have ever not enjoyed a Rantburg entry that is flagged with the hahahahaha graphic.

#39  Good news is that its covered in his homeowners, under hail damage...might have a $1000 deductable though.

#38  I'm guessing 'Shanbo Heinemann' is an alias.

Shanbo is the personal name of a character in a famous Chinese folk tale. The Heinemann library at Oxford is famous for its collection of Chinese texts.

FWIW

#37  RJ, I really doubt it knocked any sense into him. It probably reinforced his belief of how brutal and in sincetive the Israelis are. People like him never learn.
Posted by: Deacon Blues   2008-02-24 14:08  

#36  I absolutely love the look of shocked disbelief on his face, nothing like getting hit in the head by reality to knock some sense into his brain.
Posted by: Redneck Jim   2008-02-24 14:04  

#35  I have no sympathy for the idiot. He's probably some liberal arts professor at some minor private college in the United States, and really believes all the sh$$ about the paleostains. Should have been treated with a tourniquet around the neck. As for the battleship comment, I think the best thing the US could do would be to revive four or twelve of the beasts, remove the turrets and replace them with GMLRS launchers, line 'em up in a Battle Line, and just pound every square inch of "palestine" territory - for about a month. THEN we'll have "peace talks".

#33  I'd prefer if they simply used paint guns which hurt and make fun colors. Combine that with rumors of pig fat in the paint and you have a winner.

#32  Regarding how hard the rubber bullets are. P.J O'Rourke, no pansy peaceknick described the bullets as shoe-leather wrapped around real bullet. He felt the ones (used in the 80s, they may have changed) were excessive.

#29  (channeling Unreal Tournament) Headshot!
Posted by: Rex Mundi   2008-02-24 11:25  

#28  The guy who fired the shot ought to be given a medal for public service. And marksmanship.
Posted by: Zhang Fei   2008-02-24 11:22  

#27  Dead center! You've got to admit that whoever shot this guy, he did a great job. It's nice to know some people still take care in what they do, most would have aimed center of mass and be done with it, gee, I wonder what will be on teevee tonight?, but there was one guy, one single guy who took the extra step, the extra effort of perfect headshot. Kudos!

#26  If the purpose of these pics was to garner sympathy

I was laughing even before I looked at the picture. Somehow I blame Frank G and tu* for this depraved lack of sympathy.

#23  If the purpose of these pics was to garner sympathy, they certainly failed with this bunch.
Where are the D-9s when you need one?

#22  Worse yet he probably expects to be treated by his Palieo and moonbat friends as some sort of Hero...

You can almost read his mind.... "I did it! I hit it big time! Momma Sheehan here I come!"...
Posted by: CrazyFool   2008-02-24 10:07  

#21  "I doubt that [there is anything] inside his cranium is damaged."

There fixed it.

#20  Navy types might favor their 16” battleship gun for this kind of target.
I figure a plastic slug for this(they aren't really rubber) would weigh about 500 lbs. Unfortunately, Israel has none of those guns and they are a bit hard to move around if you don't have a battleship to put them on.

#19  Small arms caliber just isn't up to the job. Next time try that new rubber 120 mm sabot round.

#17  I heartily encourage the Israelis to selectively target US citizens rioting with Paleos, and enough with the rubber bullet bulldada.

The best solution would be to grab some of them, and sell them to Darfur Arabs as slaves.

#14  As he lay there on the ground, bleeding, one thought kept running through his mind: "HeadOn -- apply directly to the forehead. . . . HeadOn -- apply directly to the forehead. . . . HeadOn -- apply directly to the forehead. . . . ."

#13  The little nazi scum would never have protested against any other state but Israel. Not agsint Syria (who occupies Lebanon), not against Saudi Arabia (whioa, woman, terror), not against Algeria (opression of Berbers) and not against Sudan (genocide against Blacks). He dreams of a second Holocaust that is why he so keen on Israle and in helping so repugnat people as the Palestinians (Rantburgers will remind that they tried to blmow a maternity). It is a pity they didn't uyse real bullets on this Nazi.

#12  Oh gee, too bad.

Start using real bullets guys. This only encourages them.
Posted by: DarthVader   2008-02-24 07:53  

#11  Rubber bullet this time Shanbo. Next time it's a slug to the beanball.
Posted by: Woozle Elmeter 2907   2008-02-24 07:44  

#10  I'm not sure how hard these rubber bullets are, but they aren't hard enough. He's barely got a scratch, and I doubt that anything inside his cranium is damaged.

#7  Looks like a direct hit with a cluebat.
Posted by: Tusaus   2008-02-24 05:21  

#6  Boom! Headshot!

But, I bet this guy is ecstatic at getting his picture in the papers. Now he's a martyr, the sainthood that all moonbats desire. He'll go find Cindy Sheehan, wherever she is these days.

#5  If it had been a real bullet, he probably wouldn't have felt a thing.

#4  nice.. skull center mass/shot

he should thank his lucky stars that for Israeli rubber bullets vs some paleo clipping him W/an AK round for agit-prop.
Posted by: RD   2008-02-24 03:07  

#3  This pic again.
One guy appears to be depressing the carotid artery in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
I highly recommend this procedure for injured moonbats.

#2  Better than getting hit in the head with a rock. Maybe.
Posted by: gorb   2008-02-24 02:51  

#1  In this pic, the Paleos allegedly administering first aid look more like they're preparing to behead the little cretin. Force of habit and custom, I guess.
