Wild Video: Jordanian Lawmaker Pulls a GUN on Critic on Live TV!

A Jordanian member of parliament pulled a gun on a man who was criticizing him during a live debate on Jordanian TV Thursday.

According to the Times of Israel, the lawmaker, Mohammed Shawabka, and his opponent, political activist Mansour Sayf al-Din Murad, were discussing Jordanian politics and the uprising in Syria when accusations and insults started to fly:

Shawabka claimed Murad was in the pay of the Syrian regime. Murad countered that Shawabka worked for the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency. “You’re a Mossad agent,” he said. “You’re a big crook,” came the response.

The MP stood up and began screaming and pointing at the activist, who was sitting opposite him, while the host of the program, Mohammed Habashneh, seated in the center, desperately urged his guests to “calm down.”

Instead, the MP sat back down, bent over and took off his right shoe, and threw it at the activist, who ducked behind his desk, knocking it over.

Then the MP pulled a gun — a silver pistol — out of his waistband and briefly brandished it toward the activist, who walked toward him. The MP kept holding the gun, but was no longer pointing it at his critic.

The two men struggled, with the parliamentarian again careful now not to point the gun at his adversary, while the panicked host circumnavigated the strewn furniture to try to break up the fight.
