Laws Aren't for Everybody

Nor, apparently, common civility.

New released documents from the Federal Aviation Administration revealed that [Senator James Inhofe (R, Ok.)] intentionally landed his Cessna on a closed runway at a south Texas airport. The move reportedly endangered construction workers who had to scatter from his path as he “hopped” over them and at least six vehicles.

None of this was made public and no criminal charges were brought.

[...]

[The construction supervisor on the scene] describes Inhofe as showing no sense of guilt. Instead, he seemed angry that his path was not cleared: “He come over here and started being like, ‘What the hell is this? I was supposed to have unlimited airspace.’” In a second call, he added “He was determined to land on that runway come hell or high water evidently.” He added, “I’m still shaking…I was in the middle of the runway, I headed for high country. [...][A truck driver] was scared to death. I mean, hell, he started trying to head for the side of the runway.”
