What sparked the violence isn’t clear from the video. According to American Airlines, “On August 25, law enforcement met American Airlines flight 2249 upon arrival in Miami due to a disruptive passenger.”
r/AirRage is back! What identifiers do we have in store today? Race, gender, slurs, a particular city or religion? Who will take the bait? …more, tonight at 11.
@ 1990 — Blame it on Obama.. Everything is his fault, or is that Biden?
No One Cares.
According to American Airlines, “On August 25, law enforcement met American Airlines flight 2249 upon arrival in Miami due to a disruptive passenger.”
This seemed to occur while passengers were deplaning not on arrival.
No one really ever gets punished even if arrested. Just rinse and repeat.
God help us all if spirit shut down.
@Ari — Uh… did you seen the news? Don’t worry, it’s not a contagion… the crazies can’t afford regular airlines and will probably just stay home… right?RIGHT?? *nervous laugh*
Why they be interfering with a man and his woman.
She threw the first punch. Leave that out on purpose? The man defended himself then morons jumped in. I’d have been swinging on the white folks who are entirely out of line taking the instigators side.
