Prior to departure of an American Airlines flight from Tampa to Philadelphia on Tuesday, a passenger gets into an altercation and calls a flight attendant a “kike” but I don’t think he knows what that means. He later declares,
See most of the people are white here… I’m trying to get back to my own country and you all people made it harder for me to get to my country.
He’s trying to get to his own country on a U.S. domestic flight? Perhaps he’s connecting onward from Philadelphia, which is American’s transatlantic gateway. Finally he’s ejected by a passenger who puts him in a headlock and orders him to “walk.”
This was Tuesday. Part 1 of 3.

Can we hire the guy in the blue hoodie to work the front lines of the soon-to-be-created deportation task force? pic.twitter.com/6atbosqp7V

Gary – it would be really nice to know what American Airlines ultimately did to this dirtbag such as keeping him permanently on a no fly list.
Import the third world .,.. become the third world .
United wishes they had this guy on his plane. He must have been a club bouncer at one point.
Where to start?
How does that POS even know the term? who taught him to throw racial slurs at his hosts?
Trying to get home? Who asked you to be here? Give him No Fly List, 5 years,
Nice job LEO’s, stepping up.
Gotta be honest would have paid to see that headlock…
Oh, please. He knows what the word k*ke means. That’s why he said it multiple times. Don’t defend anti-semitism.
I’m impressed. I could not be as controlled as the blue hoodie dude. The foreigner is lucky it was him and not me. Leave the country, never come back.
Thankfully this happened in Florida and not NYC. NY DA Alvin Bragg would be arresting the people who helped get him off the plane and paying off/apologizing to the perp.
The violence is fine!
But don’t use slurs lol
Y’all are nuts
@EB – You think *I* am defending antisemitism, you must be new here? I think the guy is a bit nuts and he seems to be using the slur in the wrong context
They come here expecting to be treated like Royalty. His voice hinted with a hindi accent (India) which have a cast system . Which explains his snotty attitude. Looking down his nose at everyone . Attendants should have the right to carry a ball gag expressly for people like that.
Yeah, that violence is totally justified. Steroid rage CrossFitter just looking for a reason to get physical after he starts the altercation.
But also.. “oy vey, not the antisemitism!” Get a grip, it’s always the same victim card
This is your average “river to sea” supporter.
He’s the kind of person that wants to kill Jews and destroy Israel and these are who are trying to swat public opinion in the US.
someone has mentioned 5 years no fly list. Agree completely. Once these loony tunes finish with the slurs violence easily follows. Normal fare paying pax don’t need or want to see these scary & upsetting behaviours. Once on a no fly list the other carriers should also apply the same restriction.
Thank heaven they got that looney tunes off before that plane got airborne. No telling what he might have pulled at 30,000 feet up.
THAT is NOT a headlock. You need to look up the video of Nolan Ryan kicking Robin Ventura’s ass for a demonstration of a proper headlock.
Shocking!
This is no way to treat a “new comer” to America.
The ethno-violence used against this POC is terrible.
It’s important we all respect the values people bring to this country! His values are Islamo-facism and that needs to be encouraged.
Haha, America is so so off the rails….What you have become. Once a leading super-power descending into crap fast. Sad.
The only thing wrong with being on the no-fly list is that he likely will be stuck in the United States.
@Alert – Says every Native American when they see jerks like you.
Hooray for King Headlock. It’s high time for people to push back against starting crap on a plane. If you start something, be forewarned that you may get more than you bargained for. Just like King Headlock gave Mr Troublemaker!!!!!!!!!
@Randy Mittman – 100% correct, sad to say
Ok, so “kike” is a slur against Jews, but I’m guessing that flight attendant wasn’t, and wasn’t white either. Very odd.
And what “country”? Israel may still be hard to get to, but it’s probably not that. Access to other Middle East or Arabic states hasn’t changed lately, has it? Russia seems unlikely.
yeah, use the Twitter post of some guy who is probably a Trumper to enhance your story. QUIT making everything political. You report on aviation stuff, yet you want to make the story political
Headlock guy is lucky he didn’t get into trouble like subway guy did last year. When necks are involved bad things can happen.
Hey “Alert” : For the record, America was BUILT on migrants from the “third world”. So maybe stop slamming yourself, your family and other patriotic Americans, like me. And stop with the insensitive comments. Like you really need to demonstrate to the rest of us how destructive and anti-American MAGA and Conservative Racism is to our great nation..
@DaveFromBoca
People like you are destructive with your moron bleeding hear open border immigration.
Liberals like you are not patriots, you’re a fifth column.
He also called everyone “blue eyed white devils” assaulted and spat on someone and threatened to “bring this plane down on everyone” according to Tampa Bay media.
Misleading headline…. the crazy guy got put in a headlock for attacking and resisting the officer….. he was barely intelligible anyway….
