Police in the United Kingdom detained a man in York who threw eggs at King Charles III and the Queen Consort Camilla, while screaming in protest.

A protester was arrested Wednesday after hurling eggs and vitriol at King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort, as they walked in the northern England city of York. The incident happened as the king and his wife were entering York through Micklegate Bar, a medieval gateway where monarchs are traditionally welcomed to the city.
Video footage showed several eggs in motion and smashed on the ground. None appeared to hit the royal couple, who continued to greet crowds. Several police officers could be seen grappling with a man at a crowd barrier. Britain’s PA news agency reported that he booed and shouted “This country was built on the blood of slaves” as he was being detained. Other members of the crowd tried to drown him out by chanting “Shame on you” and “God save the King.”

I think what pisses me off the most is people who generally do these things suck so bad at life they can’t even hit their damn mark. Alot of people need to get removed from the gene pool, these acts are for kids throwing tantrums.
