Urinating on Mugabe signed beret - Is it a crime? - Live discussion

I know most of you guys will opt out of this discussion thinking its all political, I wont blame you for that because I think community service could have been the order of the day here.

A Gwanda Zapu Youth League member  was sentenced to 6 months in prison for "disorderly conduct" after he was accused of insulting a woman wearing a Robert Mugabe signed beret. The guy apparently did a wee wee on the beret.

Was this person imprisoned for insulting the woman or for urinating on Bob beret?

    That's what u get when the president of a country is feared more than god himself. Until we remove him,this will be our daily life.

    @kontrovecial "the man and his colleague started denouncing Ms Moyo for putting on the Zanu-PF beret. The two went closer to Ms Moyo and they removed the beret from her head and threw it on the ground. they went on to trample on the beret and in the process Zikhali insulted Ms Moyo "

    i think something doesn't add up here, ''the woman in question was wearing the baret'' hw come the culprit managed to wee wee on the baret? If my own analysis is correct, the guy must have urinated on the woman' head on which she was wearing a mugabe signed baret, that on its own doesn't give the story any merit. Crap

    The guy was imprisoned for urinating on uncle Bob's beret, remember the great leader is not only the president of the country, he is the Commander in chief of the Defence forces, head of state of state & government. If the beret had Tsvangirai or Welshman's face on it, um sure the case would have been thrown out of the courts.

    This does not warrant a prison term, only a community service punishment could be most appropriate. I think this man was imprisoned fir insulting the frail Bob.
