When Rachel Corrie, a 23 year old U.S. college student stepped in front of a bulldozer to prevent it from tearing down a terrorists home, she expected it to stop. She was wrong.
Bulldozer 1, Human Shield 0.
FOOTNOTE: When someone runs out in front of a train, most people call it an act of suicide. Why then does the Washington Post blame the Israeli bulldozer?
UPDATE: The Sydney Morning Herald (AU) reports on the apparent outrage in Ms. Corrie's death. (although they annoyingly keep going back and forth on the spelling of her name) Personally, I think anyone who foolishly puts themselves in harms way, deserves what they get. After all, if you play in traffic, it's only a matter of time before you get hit.

what was it that tv judge said? if you think you are about to be run over by a car, get out of the way as soon as possible.

I mean, putting oneself in harm's way and all - if they got caught, I guess they got what they had coming. And soliers, too - I mean why would anyone put their life on thel ine unless their own personal interest was at stake, anyway? This is a very convenient take on morality.
