Three days ago video was posted to TikTok of a woman – dubbed Karen – out on the tarmac after arriving late to the gate for her Spirit Airlines flight. We’ve all been there, running to make a connection or arriving to the airport late, and showing up at the gate with the boarding door just having closed. There’s no defeat quite like it.
This woman wasn’t going to take matters lying down. If the plane is leaving without you, just run after it. Except that exiting the terminal that way is against the law. And you’re not going to wind up on the aircraft anyway.
These videos have collectively been viewed about five million times, first showing the woman being brought back up into the terminal by police (who apparently responded quickly) and then arresting and taking the woman away. As she’s being escorted off in handcuffs, passengers still in the gate area cheer.
@anthonyk892 Karen missed her flight, decided to walk out emergency exit onto tarmac. Gets felony trespassing.
@anthonyk892 Part 2 – Karen missed her flight and tried to chase down her plane on the tarmac.
@anthonyk892 Raw arrest video with original sound.
Temporary insanity…..
She reserved the big front seat, but she’s going to do even better and get a trip in the big house.
“Temporary insanity . . . . .”
Hmmm . . . something tells me this “Karen” has been a “Karen” for a long, long time
Did she really think they would stop the plane, wheel up the portable stairs, and welcome her on board? I am genuinely fascinated by this sort of behavior.
It’s time police used spit hoods.
IWDesertGuy: I was thinking of the defense her lawyer would use.
I agree, her entitlement is probably deep rooted and long festering.
Did you see those looks she gave the officers? I would’ve loved to hear those shocked and incredulous comments!
As Andrew Brandt always says:
“there will be lawyers.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems this type of behavior has increased a lot since the Trump years of misbehaving, flouting and challenging the law. He did anything he could to get around rules and laws with which he disagreed, but he had the money to pay for legal assistance and stonewalling.
Masked Idiot – Blaming this Karen’s behavior on President Trump is asinine. You have been corrected.
@David R Miller: in reading @The Masked Poster’s comment, he/she wasn’t blaming Trump. Simply made an observation that behavior has changed for the worse since his presidency and that he was as guilty of misbehavior but seemed to have the means for lawyers. You seem to have conflated the comments and became defensive. You owe him/her an apology for being rude to him/her and as well as the rest of us as you proved his/her point. Or, feel free to post information that proves the comment wrong.
Ray – I find it amazing that you choose to give this cretin a pass. You need to find a 2nd or 3rd grader to explain to you what the Masked Idiot said.
David… I find it amazing that you can’t acknowledge that since Trump legitimized lying, name calling and narcissistic behavior in the minds of many maybe there is a connection? Say what you want about his politics but you cannot deny we have never had a President so blatantly act like a spoiled child in our history.
Case in point…The guy who took advantage of his children’s opportunity to talk to the President of the United States when the POTUS was simply doing an apolitical Christmas service to kids and used it to make a disrespectful adults only slur ….and then leaving a trail of lies to explain himself shows just how deeply troubled many in our country have become since becoming “trumpies”. There’s some pretty delusional and self centered behavior floating around this country and what this guy did at the expense of his children will haunt them for a long time. This guy threw his kids under the bus for his own pettiness….just like Trump has done to so many who served under him…..
Oh and David, calling people names doesn’t make your point more valid….another way the trump influence has adversely effected our country.
@Ray
Don’t forget that it’s Brandon and his supporters who encourage and aid and abet illegals crossing the border, clean out drug stores by stealing, burn down neighborhoods, and vandalize historical monuments. It’s Brandon’s followers who terrorize communities with gang violence like in Chicago.
All this started in May/June 2020 when Brandon and his followers rioted across the country and brought destruction to cities and towns where they used controversial incidents as an excuse to loot tvs. Since then it’s been a lot of commotion. Crime in NYC is up. It doesn’t help that there are ridiculous/excessive/draconian mandates and restrictions that put every group on edge.
Yes, conservatives should stop supporting or enforcing leftist laws because our freedom to live our lives as we see fit is more important than respecting the will or votes of deranged people who hate us. Democracy where our enemies tell us what to do ≠ freedom.
John – you are delusional – keep watching CNN, your “source” for stupidity and lies.
Holy crap David, you posted that moments after I did….you need to break away from the computer dude!…again, calling people names to make a point defines you, not who you are addressing….not sure why you think the news is making up the story about this guys family call to the POTUS?
Another racist article on this site. The use of the K word to describe unruly women of non-color is not acceptable in this world of wokeness.
‘ our freedom to live our lives as we see fit is more important than respecting the will or votes of deranged people who hate us. Democracy where our enemies tell us what to do ≠ freedom’
Amy, thanks for showing exactly what a deranged person is like.
Seriously David…do you really think that story was made up on CNN??or that he didn’t get on Steve Bannions show and say Biden is not a legitimate President AFTER he said he meant no disrespect to the President….do you really think that was all just fake news??
Gary Leff himself said it. Life’s about peak experiences. People underinvest in those. Running to catch your plane like this and getting arrested is a peak experience, no doubt. Nobody suffers harm, so as long as you don’t have too many priors, a skilled lawyer will get you off easy. And then you’ve got a hell of a New Year’s Eve story. Happy 2022 everybody.
Amy, I”m center left and I don’t don’t hate conservatives at all. In fact the conservative perspective is critical to balancing out progressive ideas. It’s the people on the far right AND far left that are driving the hatred in this country and the majority in the middle are paying for it.
John – When I reply is none of your business. For the record – Biden did not win the election. America is now paying the price for this fraud and the socialist DemocRatic policies that are ruining America. Look up the word “obtuse” – it fits and suits you.
Wait a second, there’s somebody here, ostensibly a wealthy and educated audience (otherwise would not have means or interest in airline travel) — who thinks Biden did not win the election? Wow, my whole worldview is shattered. Maybe all those girls I thought were out of my league actually are dying to fellate me. Hold on, folks. I’ve got some DMs to slide into on IG.
Austinite – Your problem is obvious – you say “I thought” – that there explains your problem.
Ignore the people who can’t face facts. Their belief is the at most important thing in their life. These people will never change and can’t be changed.
Holy Cats David, good point! Thanks!!
I thought when the election results were vetted by numerous courts and agreed the “evidence” of fraud was totally baseless ….when the various Republican and Democratic election officials all agreed that this election with it’s intense scrutiny was legitimate and the few lawyers defending the big lie were proven to be a bit sketchy that enough evidence was there to draw a conclusion. I guess I was wrong! Thanks for setting me straight! The My Pillow guy is correct and everyone else is wrong!
You just never know when some guy on the Internet turns out to have the truth and proves all the experts are colluding to control us, so thanks dude! Crazy world we live in, I’m with you now!
John – Keep buying into the lie. There will come a day when you will realize just what a tool you are believing the lies of a corrupt media and DemocRatic party. In the meantime, I hope that you are enjoying the fruits of your moronic decision to vote for brain dead Biden as he continues to ruin America.
Dollars to donuts this David R. Miller cuck stormed the Capitol on Jan 6 along with his fellow tiny handed fascists…they’ll be coming for him just like they did for 700+ others and counting
UA-NYC — You are another moronic inbred keyboard commando who hasn’t a clue about reality. Lucky for you that I am not around to reply in person for your “cuck” label. But then a splooge like you would not have the guts to call me that to my face. GFY
David, you don’t seem to be able to put any facts out to support your position? Seems your only defense is calling people names…you can do better then that can’t you?
Why do you you think all the experts who are informed with the facts agree that President Biden truly did win the election and those saying he did not seem to have nothing to support that perspective???
Do you really think the My Pillow Guy is right and everyone else is wrong?
Simple question, why do you think Biden did not win the election?
JW – Are you really that obtuse? Obviously you are.
I’m not sure what’s so obtuse about asking why you actually think the election was rigged?
Just curious if you can explain is all?
1. This had nothing to do with President Trump, BLM, Biden, AOC, etc.
2. TikTok, really. We can do better.
3. As much as I like Spirit Airlines no one in their right mind should feel entitled on one of their planes. In fact, the TDS folks posting comments should love them as it is a prime model of where our country as a whole is headed. Very “Democratic”.
4. The most likely cause of this is being overserved alcohol in the airport. drug abuse or mental insanity. If alcohol was a contributing factor and I was this lady’s attorney I would file suit against the vendor that overserved her and file a claim against their liquor liability.
Gives a new definition to “I’ve got a plane to catch.”
Hey Gary…can you please repost that information about the wonders of getting a Spirit Airlines credit card?
I’d really like to spend more time with their clientele. Alaska passengers are so dull…what with the mask wearing and compliance with laws and human decency. Way too boring.
Wow, David R. Miller is a bonafide right-wingnut troll. Probably been kicked off the other boards, so is now relegated to travel blogs.
Life in the alternaverse must be a tough one.
P.S. Not a ‘lib’, so you can’t ‘own’ me. LOL
American women have been told their whole lives that they are princess and should be treated as such. That’s why you see fat women in yoga pants because they have been “empowered” to think they deserve not to be mocked.
Women are narcissistic by nature. American culture has amplified that by 1000.
I just came here to insult Dave R – wow, there are some real idiots in the world, but seems David R is the leader of them all. I wish I could sit next to you on a flight which my 3x vax’d breakthrough, since I know you’re too f’ing stupid to get the vax. All the while, I will pass gas to point that you begin vomiting on yourself. You have been elevated to King of the Dipsh*ts! All hail King David – biggest dumba*s in the world.
Well Kdogger how do you explain all the fat white men who think they are superior to women or people of color simply because they are male or white?
How do you explain the sense of entitlement people like the guy who threw his kids under the bus when they got to talk to the POTUS and then followed up with compound lies to further scar his kids legacy?
Men are narcissistic by nature. Trumpism has amplified that by 1000.
What a wonderful world it would be if the rabid pro Trumpets and the rabid anti Trumpets would take their meds.
My 80 year old female neighbor just commented to me how nasty people have become since Chump hit the scene. Expressing to me how people drive like maniacs. As a former Republican who used to vote straight GOP and now an independent, it’s hard to find a Republican candidate I would vote for that’s not a Chump convert or liar. 75 million entitled white people voted for Chump, so what do you expect?
No one should respond to David R. Miller. Don’t bother with Miller as he’s just another “Chump Fool.”
Rog – stay obtuse – it suits you. By the way, how do you like your brain dead President and his giggling fool Vice President? How about gas prices, the economy, the “follow the science” handling of the China virus? Be glad you were not in Afghanistan during the with drawl fiasco – if you were, you would still be there. How about the illegal alien invasion, with drugs and children housed in cages? Face it, you are too stupid to see the whole picture while the traitorous DemocRats ruin America.
David R. miller – Just F off and troll elsewhere.
Stay obtuse – GFY
LOL, it’s very odd David that all you can come up with is calling people obtuse and not making any point at all that counters the simple fact that under Trump there has been a sharp increase in anti social, rude, lying and name calling type behavior, much of it from Trump supporters. In Congress Gaetz and Taylor Green are the modern equivalent of Joseph McCarthy. Those were Trump supporters that attached America on Jan 6th. etc etc…….you’ve been played by people that know the Election Lie is just that but are using people like you to further their goals.
I call a traveling foul as this is really a misappropriation of the term ” Karen”. Not really a Karen act.
This person was simply extremely motivated and clearly willfully ignorant, self centered & irresponsible with her physical breach of security…..
Anyway, Leave it to the same clown car passengers who attempt to legitimize moral cowardice and reprehensible acts of domestic terrorism against our Republic by branding themselves as “patriots”
John- It is obvious that all you care to do is troll. Meanwhile you chosen traitor continues to ruin America – and you can not blame that on President trump. So mouth off all you want – it will not change what the socialist DemocRats are doing. Stay ignorant, as if you have a choice.
@DukeK
Because statistically they are better.
@Franklin Souze
Are you taking about BLM? One of their own committed mass murder in Wisconsin a few weeks ago.
David R. Miller is a tiny wanker inbred prick who probably got trampled by his fellow domestic terrorists at the Capitol on Jan 6, as his tiny hands failed him in swimming through the crowd.
And yeah, in person I would curb stomp you American History X style (bet you’d fit right in there in that crew btw).
OMG !!!!! Can you people just SHUT UP.
And yes, I mean both sides involved in the middle school-level political insults
