Pilot Accused Of Destroying Parking Barrier At DIA With Axe

There's a huge difference between the McDonald's counter attendant having a bad day and the pilot of a large flying cigar tube full of people having a bad day.

It could be the difference between getting onions on my hamburger when I requested no onions and getting dead.

Considering partisan divide that's been created in the nation, wishing the sitting president harm apparently has become normalized, and acceptable, at least by the words of some.

Let me tell you something: In 2008 an Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at GW Bush, remember? I wasn't a GWB fan by any means, but he was my president, and I was offended that someone disrespected him.

I guess the days of common decency and common courtesy are gone, apparently decency gets in the way of some's ideology.

Nathan—People that have never been in the military don’t understand. It’s not about the person, it’s about the Office the person holds. When I first joined the military, a lot of the older veterans that were around during Vietnam hated Johnson, but they didn’t disrespect him or his Office. They treated the President like any other dignitary. We salute the man (or woman) in the Office of the President. It’s all about respecting the Executive Chief of the Military.
 

The respondents take the thread off track just as much as the original. But, I'm not your mama, that's just a friendly word of advice. :giggle:

We're probably just about finished with this axe wielding pilot anyway. :ROFLMAO:

Everyone I know thought it was funny. Dubya ducked and came up grinning. It was only a shoe, and, in this case, only a comment by a human being with strong feelings. Anyway, the remark has been censored so all is still golden here with us. You're right, the good old days of courtesy and decency are gone. Reverence and respect too.

In that country, throwing a shoe is the worst insult a person can give; worse than flipping the bird... maybe worse than spitting in one's face. But yes, Dubya came out unscathed.

 
This is the first time I read this post. I never had an issue getting through a gate to an employee parking lot. It would probably have been a better idea to back up the cars and line them up into a line where the gate was working. There should have been at least one attendant on duty that could have manually raised the gate.

Denver has had its problems with different automated gadgets they had installed during the building of the new airport, especially their automated baggage handling device sending baggage to the wrong cities.
