The Home Depot is a proud sponsor of the United States Armed Forces, the Olympics, and even NASCAR. Did you know that they were recognized by G.I. Jobs Magazine as the No. 2 Employer for Military Personnel according to their website. They even tout that they were recognized for its outstanding support of the men and women in the armed services by the Military Officers Association of America, and the United Services Organization (USO).
Now we know that’s not the reason why I'm writing about the Home Depot at all. Let's take a trip down to Florida and meet Trevor Keezer, 20. Heis was a hard working young man for the Home Depot for over 19 months, that is until a pin he was wearing got him fired.
Now it wasn't an evil pin or a pin that made fun of your kid or kids. It was a simple pin that had the American flag on it with a line from the Pledge of Allegiance. It said, "One nation Under God, Indivisible," nothing more and nothing less. He has worn the same pin for the last 19 months and it wasn't a problem.
Keezer sees the pin as his way of supporting the Military troops overseas, and his older brother who is going to be heading back to Iraq come December.
Now he may have started to cross a line when he began to bring his Bible to work, but if he read it on his own time, it’s not an issue. A month a manager finally approached him about the pin he wore and told him to remove it or be sent home. Naturally he refused and they sent him home for 6 days without pay, and then they fired him.
Craig Fishel, talking head for the Home Depot of course couldn't comment on specifics, but said that, “The company’s dress code policy states that we do not allow noncompany buttons, regardless of their message or content.”
Then he added the history of Home Depot and their history of supporting the military and they offered company buttons that its employees could wear. Keezer said, “I was cashier of the month and I’ve won six ‘Homer’ awards — that’s the highest award you can get at Home Depot.”
When we will finally draw a line that enough of 'softness' or the best way I have heard it was, "The Wussification of America," has gone long enough and let people by themselves?
Home on the range in Fort Worth, where a volunteer mom is accused of having sex with a teen-aged Boy Scout. Courtney Sheward was charged with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old scout in the troop she oversees.
Sgt. Chad Mahaffey said, "It was through her involvement as a volunteer parent that she met the 16-year-old male victim and a relationship began. As a result of the relationship, they had nonforcible sex."
She was removed from her position on the local troop committee and helping plan activities once the scouts learned of the allegations.
Meet John O'Connor, 46, who was tired of drunken revellers sing, dancing, and urinating against his store front.
He has decided that he will combat this tiring war against the drunk party-goers, by hooking up an electric current on the pavement outside of his music shop. He states that people should sip up of face the electrifying consequences of their actions.
"If anybody persists and continues with the anti-social behavior they'll get a shock, they'll know all about it. The wires are on the ground where I'm greeted every Monday morning with pools of their urine, mounds of their feces. You can see it (wires), it's pretty obvious what's there. There are signs everywhere," O'Connor said.
