Assclowns on Parade: Amputee soldier denied access to club
EFLAbby Jackson, wife of Spc. Robert "B.J." Jackson, 22, who lost his legs in an explosion last August while serving with the Iowa Army National Guard in Iraq, says her husband was denied access to an upscale nightclub in Clive on Friday night because his shoes werenât fancy enough. "Both of us told (an employee) that those were the only shoes he can wear with his prosthetic legs," Abby Jackson said Saturday. "I even told them he lost them in Iraq." The night out with friends was one of the coupleâs first since Jackson began learning to walk again in early November. "I was upset," Jackson said Saturday from an airport on his way back to San Antonio where heâs receiving medical treatment. "We all thought they were kidding," said Abby Jackson. "He had his cane with him and everything. I donât even think he knew how to react to it. . . . He was really upset." Iâm speechless. Posted by: Dragon Fly 2004-01-08 |
