This happened a couple of years ago but we missed it. As always, this post is not endorsement of what occurred. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a triple-strike in a protest pieing.

Four Spanish men could face long prison sentences if convicted for pummelling a regional president with pies, in a case their lawyer has described as reminiscent of the Inquisition.
The men are due to appear in court in Madrid on Monday charged with “hurling said pie in the face of Yolanda Barcina Angulo in an energetic fashion”, in protest at the development of a high-speed train network that threatens forest land in the Pyrenees.
Barcina, president of the north-eastern region of Navarre, was left “dazed and disorientated” and her clothes were damaged, according to court documents. The incident took place across the border in Toulouse, where Barcina, of the governing rightwing People’s Party, was taking part in a public meeting in October 2011.
