Well, that's gonna cost a pretty penny.

[Vaquero]

Was it Rosie??

[Disambiguator]

Tilting at windmills? Or just a run-of-the-mill leftist nutcase?

[frank ballenger]

The lunatic — in his 40s but yet to be identified —

I have to say again....he's not technically and legally a lunatic, free from going to prison under our faulty legal system, ready to plead "not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect" or "insanity" at the time of the crime.

[maddog55]

Snuck in..got on the wing of a C-130 which isn’t easy and hacked away with a hatchet. He should be hacked to death with the same hatchet.

Can a military person explain why we have so many guarded and unprotected aircraft. I get the impression the average garaged car has better security than our $100 million aircraft.

[wbarmy]

I’ve stopped in Shannon a few times in military aircraft, always on my way to somehwere else.

[DesertRhino]

How did he climb up on top of the wing?

[T.B. Yoits]

From the article: ...at a controversial stopover site...

Military aircraft don't belong at civilian airports, except maybe for emergency landings and air shows. Especially now during a war.

This is also a major issue with not declaring war. Neutral nations have no business hosting warplanes for one side or the other of an armed conflict.

Sean O’Donovan, you rascal!

[ansel12]

Doesn’t the military have people protecting anything anymore?

Did guarding everything fade away over the last few decades?

[GenXPolymath]

Enemy combatant, take him to GITMO for the full treatment. Nationally irrelevant as it’s.against an American asset outside the USA thus enemy combatant.

Or let the alphabet boys have him and put them on a ghost prison ship till they beg for death and a burial at sea.

[nuconvert]

I like hearing people use the word lunatic.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Muhammad? Ahmed? Yusuf?

[RetiredArmy]

Obviously, security is not of high importance there.

[caddie]

People always let criminals like this off the hook by immediately calling them lunatics or crazy. They are just doctrinaire communists doing what communists do.

No lunacy in what they do. Quite the opposite.

[Bikkuri]

"Shannon Airport has been the site of regularly held demonstrations demanding the Irish government inspect US military planes for weapons destined for Israel, the outlet reported."

🙄

[metmom]

I wonder if *lunatic* = muslim and they just don’t want to admit it.

[kawhill]

“Lunatic reportedly attacks US war plane with hatchet at Ireland airport, extensively damaging $75M craft (C-130)”. He’s never been late for a flight.

[thinden]

Low tech.

[Toespi]

Are those afflicted with TDS, now being diagnosed as lunatics?
