Victim’s brother throws shoe at Breivik in first crowd outburst at Norway terror trial

By Associated Press,

OSLO, Norway — The trial of Anders Behring Breivik was interrupted briefly Friday when the brother of one of his 77 victims hurled a shoe at the confessed mass killer and yelled, “Go to hell,” before being escorted from the court room, police and witnesses said.

It was the first outburst from the normally subdued crowd watching the terror trial in Oslo’s district court since the proceedings began in mid-April.

Breivik — a self-styled anti-Muslim militant — has been charged with terrorism, admitting he carried out a bomb-and-shooting rampage that stunned Norway on July 22.

On Friday, forensic experts were going through autopsy reports for some of the 69 victims killed in the shooting massacre at a youth camp that day, when a man in the second row suddenly stood up, said Mikaela Akerman, a Swedish journalist who was in the court room.

Very rude to display them, and of course we remember adults and children beating the images and statue heads of Saddam with a handy sandal.

I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner, actually.

And who can forget "Duck and Cover" Dubya artfully dodging the shoe-throwing journo at that presser?
