The answer is yes. Some guy stands up in a plane and starts screaming shit? Haul his ass off the plane too.

As others have said, the plane is not the place to fuck around.

I'm a huge believer in personal rights, but in some very rare cases, I'm willing to give it up for safety reasons. The plane is one of those places.

Which airline let the screaming Trimp supporter stay onboard?

It's like you guys are pretending there aren't stories out there that already contridict your points.

Ahhh, never mind. They removed him, and then let him back on a flight. Similar to Adam Saleh.

Ms. Baum said the man was briefly removed from the plane and then allowed back on the flight before it took off.

So from that should we expect you are in massive favour of Adam Saleh being banned for life, right? I mean you aren't just trying to stir up Trump outrage in a topic that has nothing to do with Trump? Yes Delta should be held accountable for their decisions, but it seems good they acted correctly this time, right?

If you would like Delta to be consistent you cannot be wanting the Trump noise creator kicked off, but for some reason wanting Adam kept on when he causes a ruckus and shouts at passengers? Your spoken language is irrelevant if you are shouting and arguing with other flyers, especially if you instigated things.

Not until there is more than just allegations against this guy.

The Trump supporter didn't get banned until there was massive social media blacklash and the video was available for all to see from the get go.

Yup, which is why people are going in so hard on him. What you've just said plus his careless attitude to whipping up drama/outrage via YT makes him a pretty damning package overall. All you need to do is look at the comments on YT/Twitter and reddit and see a mix of unjustified outrage, ironically racism, anger, bickering and other toxic shit because of Adam's antics.

Him and all the other "pranksters" on YouTube really are the worst.

Probably Delta trying to learn from their mistakes then? So people cause bother, kick them off and ban them to stop Twitter/YT mobs? Or... in this instance be prepared for the Twitter/YT mobs anyway as people flock to believe something.

Since we're talking, tell your bosses that Delta is a garbage carrier and Southwest beats the hell out of them all day everyday.

Sounds like NYC airport. Got stranded there one year overnight a while back on a connecting flight back to the UK and it seems they make EVERY fucking seat/bench made of cold hard rock so you can't sleep anywhere.

Sucks if it is still like that. I am talking about 7 or 8 years ago now. Yeah sure I get trying to encourage people to book into the airport hotel/nearby hotels, but literally everything was a slab of rock.

All they need to do is say why the people were kicked off the plane, which they did.



Are you just trying to be obtuse in the light of it looks like the whole claim is hogwash by getting frustrated that you cannot criticise Delta this time around? That is what it is beginning to look like. As it does from other GAFers seemingly more annoyed this doesn't look true, than caring about what the actual truth is.

how are you not understanding this

i know that the airline HAD NO REAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETAILS TO THE PUBLIC. i am saying that they SHOULD HAVE

instead, they provided a statement that disclosed almost as little detail as possible

It disclosed the amount of detail necessary. Your should have is really "I wanted it to". Not saying there is anything wrong with you wishing for more, but it is what it is. They stated they take racist claims seriously and would do an investigation, then followed up with their investigation to say why they ejected the passengers. If you cannot accept that means they didn't uncover anything racist unless it is spelt out for you then *shrug*

That was an indefensible situation that was completely caught on tape. Of course they were gonna try to save face. This guy's past and the lack of evidence gives them an out in this case. Its simple really.

You do accept people can be convicted and/or let free without video evidence? Yes it helps, but it's not the end all and be all. I assume that is what you define as a "lack of evidence here", considering the reality is there is quite a fair amount of evidence.

Why hasn't the thread title been changed? Has it been determined that the guy really was discriminated and kicked off the plane for just speaking in Arabic?

You seemingly trying to say there is a lack of evidence whilst going on about video evidence in another unrelated airplane incident. Seemingly to infer but of course Delta are the ones lying because not enough video evidence this time!

It means you are demanding a different level of proof to be annoyed at a youtube prankster with a long history of precisely this bullshit, than you are for being mad at an airline with a history of some of this bullshit, but also a history of trying to take care of it.

At the very least you should be treating each "person" in this story equally until we have like, a congressional hearing to prove he's a douche.

What about the case where they paid the muslims couples expenses after kicking them out? That didn't have any video evidence.

Is it really so hard to acknowledge that with this guys past and lack of evidence it might actually be reasonable to believe Delta and the witnesses?

The more I read about him the more this guy is starting to piss me off. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if it was a publicity stunt, which odds are it probably was.

Youtube pranksters are up there with "reaction videos" in being the worst content available.

Did you not see the question I was asked? He's saying that because Delta hasn't apologized, that they aren't in the wrong. Because they did apologize in a different issue where there was full video proof of the incident. How hard is that to follow?
