yes. first off, getting up and picking fights with people should get you thrown off the flight, period. secondly, people are terrified after this election and some moron wants to rub it in everyone's faces that their lives are in danger? that pride is gonna go away pretty fast once he's figured out he's just as screwed as the rest of us.

secondly, a man has no more business tossing around the word 'b**ch' than a white person has tossing around the word 'n***er'.


and before someone starts in with that 'free speech' BS, free speech doesn't preclude you from people standing up to your bigotry. what you're asking for is the silencing of any voice that disagrees with you-- which is NOT free speech.

And I agree he should have been thrown off the flight if he acted like that.
Well he did, he got to ride the flight to his destination. He was not removed from the plane for that flight. He was only banned after Delta saw the video and PR aftermath.

Unfortunately there were several incidents over the summer where some passengers who did nothing (besides looking Muslim) got kicked off the plane.

I hope Delta takes this incident seriously and works on some training for its team.

*Other airlines have removed "threatening" passengers as well United, Southwest and American. The Airline industry has some work to do.

Are you under the impression that there were never before people like this?

In particular, he signaled out WOMEN for his rants. How would you feel as a woman, especially flying all alone, about that, whether you supported Hillary or not. Would you want some lunatic man screaming at you as a woman all alone?

Yes, the flight crew failed on this one, but the passengers did as well. They could have demanded that they leave the plane if this nutcase was allowed to remain on it. This passenger is a threat to us.

He is now banned from Delta Flights. He should be on a No Fly List by the TSA as a deranged person.

No, hon', but now they feel they have a license to do this type of thing. At least Delta has banned the loser.

A drunk Trump supporter, big deal.

Libs gave us:

Black Panthers
Black Lives Matter
Occupy Wallstreet
Plus all the Clinton supporters currently rioting and damaging private property.

I'll take the airplane guy any day, thank you.
