Left Wing Blogger "Jason The" Thinks it was funny my airplane crashed


I stumbled across this post by "Jason The" and was totally shocked that anybody would make fun of an airplane crash. I tried to post this comment on his site, but he has me blocked. Free speech?

Jason,

Would you have felt better if I was killed?

What a terrible thing to post.

I joke around a lot about internet stuff, but this was no joking matter. I could have easily been killed had a fire started.

I feel terrible for you if you dislike someone who posts on a blog that you don't agree with that you would like to see them die.

This picture was taken during my wifes congressional campaign in 2002. This was an early am departure to one of the county conventions. This is a Beech B-55 Baron High Performance Twin, and was my baby.

Uh, the SideTrack isn't blocked for comments, and from what I can tell, neither is the GenRolly speaking blog post where the comment was made.

Wow, Mark.

You can't even be honest in your own attempt to smear somebody.

Best of luck though.

You retracted your landing gear after you landed? That IS pretty funny, Mark.

(Remember, pal, I, too am a pilot. If bending the bird doesn't kill someone, the rules say that you have to take your teasing like a man.)

Since you are a pilot JM, what in your statement does not make any sense at all?

JM Bell said...

Hey, the PCN says landing gear retraction. See:

Probable Cause Narrative

Inadvertent landing gear retraction by person(s) undetermined. A factor was the inadequate supervision of the flight by the flight instructor.


And, in the details of the report, it seemed to suggest that you were already on the ground when it happened. That strikes me as a little funny, but, I will admit to not being 100% on my interpretation of the report, because I've never had to file one.

Thanks for the link to the helps on google groups, I'll look into that.

Of course you'd only get that if you were trying send an email, not leave a comment.

My point was that the comments on the blog aren't blocked, if your concern is about free speech, wouldn't you want to be able to post a comment, and not send an email? As we choose not to spam people, more people would see the comments than an email.

Sorry, Craig. You just lost him.

The post before this one you are joking about people's houses burning to the ground.

So don't pretend to be all high and mighty about us laughing at your country club amateur pilot mistake. Retracting the landing gear while on the ground, now come on, that is pretty funny.

And guessing that you were not too drunk to open the door and get out of the plane I would say the chances of you being killed by a fire were zero.

Mark E. Towner said...

Marshall,

I'll assume you know nothing about airplanes, but with that said please explain how a pilot retracts a landing gear while on the ground?

JM, I ask you the same question. What did your fly JM? How many hours have you logged?

JM Bell said...

953 - PIC - Single
445 - PIC - Twin
188 - Rotary - 91 as PIC

Got my ticket pulled when I broke my neck in a car accident. Can't turn my head to the left anymore.

Jason The said...

Wow, sorry to hear about that JM. Glad you're still with us (and thanks for TWO mp3's in your post yesterday).

Mark, I know this takes us off the topic of you being the innocent victim of mean ol' lefty bloggers, but I ask this question on behalf of myself, and everyone on the bloghive dying of curiosity:

What happened with your PCE "Sting Operation" anyway? Arrests? Breaking Stories? Or are you still amassing incriminating data? Case fall under FBI jurisdiction and is now out of your hands?

Don't leave us hangin!
