(April 2) - During a recent trip to the Sudan, George Clooney encountered some unexpected danger.

While going through checkpoints, the Oscar-winner was mugged, Usmagazine.com reports.

"There were all these young kids with AK47s. They pointed guns at us and stole what they could. It happens all the time," Clooney told the British magazine Zoo Weekly.

Stay out of my computers, Stay out of my life. If you stop antagonizing me and stalking me I won't feel the need to enforce my opinion and defend myself. Leave me alone and stop using my work in George Clooney films, sadistic movies done by Lyons Gate and John Saul books. Keep your gay army away from me! I didn't ask for this abuse.

Rule #1 when traveling.......Don't visit a place where the kids run around with AK47s

African and Arab countries....I would never visit. I'd discourage and American that wanted to go there. Raise money for them from America, send a check, and stay alive. Better yet, save the poor Americans first.

What a shame that Bill Maher wasn't with him.

George Clueless then went-on to say, "We were taking sniper fire. We ran with our heads, down."

None deserves the notoriety these people get unless you're a hero.

As we were pulling into the train station in Rome, the locals warned us of the homeless children. They spoke of the starving children as if they were savages. I burst into tears to learn such horrors. My motherly instinct took ocer and my first reaction was to mother them and protect them. They said they could be dangerous. I asked why they hadn't found suitable homes and why the government didn't do anything. The orphanages were overflowing with homeless babes. They told us to guard our valuables and fear them. can you imagine being told to fear children? Children in need of love and protecion and guidance. I wanted to find this gang. How can any child be seen as evil?. If George encountered those homeless children his heart should've gone out to them. He should've understand they are unloved and midguided and denied the happiness he knew in boyhood. he should've felt something besides fear. They were desperate and living like animals for survival. Sure they got money but have no lov

If the public knew what half these people do they wouldn't want to see pics. I wouldn't.
