A top French presidential candidate was the victim of a “flour bombing” during a campaign appearance in Paris Wednesday.
Socialist candidate Francois Hollande was speaking from behind the podium about housing when a woman rushed up and hurled a bag of flour at him, the BBC reported.
Bodyguards rushed forward to protect Hollande, covered in white, while the assailant was restrained and then hauled offstage by her hands and feet.
According to the Telegraph, the bodyguards who ran to protect the candidate also took a dusting themselves. Hollande remained calm throughout the incident.
The attacker, who later said she was 45, reportedly shouted that she had been denied justice and was being “assassinated by Socialists in Lille,” according to the BBC.

Posted on February 2, 2012 at 11:08pmThis “method of protesting” is not harmless & I don’t find it humorous. If these freaks who think it‘s ok to throw things at people don’t get their way or the attention they want, I fear they may progress to something a lot more dangerous. Enough of our political (and religious) leaders have been assassinated or shot. We should learn from history. More protection is needed. No-one should be able to get this close to our leaders, whether we like them or not.

So has anybody checked to see if she has a real grievance? Maybe he had it coming?

Posted on February 2, 2012 at 3:21pmI don’t find the humor in this at all. It is flour and glitter bombs now but these people are being allowed too close to the candidates.

Posted on February 2, 2012 at 4:27pmWe are just one step away from the acid bomb, the powering steering fluid bomb, brake fluid bomb, gasoline/kerosene bomb mixed with soap. These people will not be satisfied with this petty flour/sprinkles dousings. They will move to violence in short order.

Posted on February 2, 2012 at 3:02pmGlitter bombs from gay activists greet our candidates here in the USA. Can we now look forward to flour bombs as in France? What after that? Redi-mix concrete bombs? Anthrax powder? I haven’t heard yet of any of these clowns getting any real justice for assaulting a candidate. When a candidate steps forward to run for high office, they are making many sacrifices. Doesn’t society owe them some measure of protection from nut jobs on the campaign trail? Too bad embarrassing public humiliation has gone out of style in America. A little time in the public square stocks, a public caning, or the always effective tar and feathering would go a long way to discourage this kind of thing.
