That sounds really bad. And yeah, they probably are beating him up somewhere right now. But then you read down, and it turns out they're talking about right after it happened.
Excuse me if this is wrong to say, but. . . duh?
I'm sorry, but I throw an unidentified object at a foreign dignitary, I'm expecting to get my face mussed a mite by his security folk. Hell, I'm anticipating that there's a goodly chance that I'll be shot before the second such item leaves my hand. I'm against torture and police brutality and all that as much as the next girl, but from what I'm hearing, that is not what this is (again: at least not what they're talking about here).
