Cambodian-American Does a Shoe Throwing Protest

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Do you speak Aussie? Thong means something different in American. And please keep them on.

Back to the main topic. Does shoe throwing have some cultural significance to some people? (Doesn't seem very nice in any culture.)

Asking for a friend.
It is an offence to throw one. Two in the box is a lot more effective, and chicks dig it.

Tell your friend, he will get good luck by throwing a new pair of size 10, Nike Adapt Auto Max (blue sole, dark brown upper, seems to be the luckiest), and a pair of Nike Air Mag Back to the Future 2016, size ladies 6, in pastel blue. 7PM Riverside and 154, short pastel blue mini skirt, and bikini top, blue lipstick with matching baseball cap and toenail polish, on bare feet (not sure what my girlfriend will be wearing).

Do they take an extra pair of shoes with them to throw, or do they walk home barefoot?
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.
