Or maybe not on a foot at all but instead flying through the air towards someones face, entirely legally.

SCOTLAND YARD has bowed to Islamic sensitivities and accepted that Muslims are entitled to throw shoes in ritual protest — which could have the unintended consequence of politicians or the police being hit.

Now I'm not an expert on Islamic history and I'm aware the soles of shoes are seen as disgusting to some Muslims but I wasn't aware the throwing of shoes was a 'ritual'
Also surely allowing this to be done by Muslims and not other faiths is discriminatory?

Dozens of ski-boots and clogs were also hurled at the US consulate in Edinburgh in a related protest, in which three policemen sustained minor injuries.

Good effort, a pair of flip-flops is one thing, a pair of hob-nailed boots is quite another.
Who on earth came up with this idea? Obviously someone who hasn't been near a street in years and was wanting a promotion. Hopefully the next protest over cartoons etc. gets policed exclusively by office-dwellers. Let's see how happy they are to allow cops to get pelted with objects then.
