Jolie bodyguards arrested

Three of Angelina Jolie's bodyguards were arrested yesterday for allegedly "roughing up" children and parents at a school in India while the actress was shooting scenes for A Mighty Heart. The bodyguards have been charged with "insult to religion and threatening to kill." A member of the school's PTA says, "Jolie's bodyguard called one parent, 'You bloody Indian," and parents claim they were manhandled. Jolie released a statement about the incident saying, "It is not surprising that the press involved failed to mention their share of the responsibility in the chaos. As for this horrible rumor that someone referred to a local man as a 'bloody Indian,' let me say this: I would never work with anyone that was derogatory towards another man's race. My family is of mixed race." The arrested bodyguards are in jail and will attend a court hearing, although the date of the hearing has not been confirmed.

Rightfully so! You can't shit all over people in their own country. That one bodyguard has been punching and shoving people all over India.
