John Smeaton: A hurricane of butt-kicking

That's John Smeaton in the picture to the left.

In 2007, some terrorist nutbars loaded a Jeep with propane canisters, set it on fire, and drove it into the glass doors of the main airport terminal.

John Smeaton, a Scottish baggage handler, saw the attack and stepped in. It was reported that Smeaton shouted "f***ing come on then" and aimed a kick at terrorist Kafeel Ahmed, who later died following the attack. He also helped drag another citizen to safety.

His message to terrorists? "You come to Glasgow, we don't stand for it -- we'll just set aboot ye."

So the reason Mr. Smeaton is meeting with the Queen? He's receiving the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his actions. Because, I'm forced to assume, there is no Queen's Medal for Being a Hurricane of Butt-Kicking.
