Unbiased Guardian columnist George Monbiot was blocked from making a citizen's arrest of John Bolton today in Wales. (Telegraph)
FOX News reported:
John Bolton managed to escape a British journalist's attempt to place him under citizen's arrest Wednesday evening at a festival in Wales.
The Telegraph newspaper reported that Guardian columnist George Monbiot, a critic of the Iraq war, tried to arrest the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations as he was exiting the stage at the Hay Literary Festival. The Telegraph earlier reported that Monbiot would try to arrest Bolton for war crimes.
According to the article, Monbiot was blocked by two security guards, and Bolton was ushered away even as Monbiot attempted to dart after him once he was released. Monbiot reportedly said he was "disappointed" he was unable to make the arrest.
"This was a serious attempt to bring one of the perpetrators of the Iraq war to justice, for what is described under the Nuremberg Principles as an international crime," he was quoted as saying.

ReplyDeleteThat "lap dog" line had me laughing!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how this loon's name resembles "Moonbat"!!
Americaneocon,
ReplyDeleteHis name is the origin of the term \"Moonbat\".
Check out Moinbat or whatever's writting. Holy Moonbat! This guy is a friggin loon.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the letter to His Majesty the King of Saudi Arabia.

He's begging the King of Saudi to save us from ourselves. What the F' is in the water in the UK? Have they lost thier collective minds? Did all of the brave and principled men and women die in WWII, and now we are seeing De-Evolution at work where the Brave were killed and the cowards procreate.
Begging the House of Saud not to increase production. This stuff isn't funny and it is scary because of the implications for the future.

I'll deck those liberal bastards. Bunch of welfare POS.
ReplyDeletewould have been great if bolton punched that sissy-libs light out.
ReplyDeletewhat a pussy.
tim stevens
Ummm... who's that with the baby?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I give up. What's Julia Louis-Dreyfus got to do with this?
ReplyDeleteYeah, the baby thing makes me sick. Self rightous liberal trash using her baby as a human shield. Liberals are no better than muslims, except they should know better.
ReplyDeleteI like that whole "vindictive cheesy villain" pose Monbiot's got going on in that second picture. "Next time, John Bolton! NEXT TIME, I'll get you!!!" *shakes pipe-cleaner arm and fist*
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of citizen's arrests, is there any way Mr. Bolton could arrest him for something with the proper paperwork?
you ridiculous conservative freaks. Bolton is a whanker and you know it.
ReplyDeletewhy don't you all go get lives and real jobs? maybe you should all go and have some fun with your butt buddy bolton?!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, George. Nice of you to drop in.
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't a serious attempt at a citizen's arrest. If this idiot really had wanted to "arrest" Bolton he wouldn't have announced it ahead of time in his column, thereby ensuring security would stop him.
ReplyDeleteThis was a cheap publicity stunt by an enemy of Western Civilization.
Too bad they didn't taze him before taking him away.
These people are not just moonbats, they are dangerous moonbats.
ReplyDeleteThey would arrest us all for thinking if they could!
"...they should have let him try I am shoure Bolton would have decked him if he even got close to him."
ReplyDeleteHell, John
Bolton's mustache, Reggie, could deck him.
-N. O'Brain
N. O'Brain, I think Bolton's mustache's name is actually Regis, but other than that, you're spot on.
ReplyDeleteSo what would the charges have been?
ReplyDeleteLiberating Iraqis from tyranny.
Fighting fascism.
Overthrowing the criminal government of the Ba'athists.
Defending Western Civilization against those who would destroy it.
You can see why a socialist like Monbiot would regard such acts as criminal.
unbiased?
ReplyDeleteIf you're trying to arrest somebody for publicity, you're nowhere near unbaised.
More like activist.
And it's a shame so many people think that news sources report just the facts.
They color it in with their own ideologies, just like everyone else.
