After working as a volunteer police officer, I view anything like that as akin to a domestic dispute. It’s dangerous to step into any confrontation, even in a controlled space like an aircraft. Different story if a weapon appears, but an argument on a plane is an airline crew problem. I do disagree with whomever was out of control. It’s uncivilized and uncalled for, regardless of your beliefs.
Trump Q-Tips: “I know what you do with these. It’s disgusting. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Or he could sell tampons- “To remove, grab them by your pussy”
Indeed. Look, I’m a full-fledged Trump hater myself, but given the following two options…
- Be on a plane in which every other passenger was a Trump supporter behaving quietly; or
- Be on a plane in which any other passenger was a Trump hater behaving loudly…
I would happily choose option #1 every time. The Trump hater needn’t even be combative to bother me. Simply being loud – even espousing points on which I might agree – makes one an unwelcome co-passenger.
As reported a couple years ago in America’s Finest News Source™:
Report: It’s Not Okay To Just Start Talking To People You Don’t Know
(And that fake report is out of Stanford, so you know it’s good.)
- The election is so over that the inauguration has taken place.
- This is an opinion poll, not a debate or discussion.
Please pay attention to to the fora in which to post.
Trump was apparently first to claim that God had stopped it raining:
This video is great on so many levels…
The old liberal cunt, eternally pissed off at having to go through life with those mosquito bite titties…
The thoroughly beaten husband who is actually just as liberal as his wife, but who wishes she would just shut the fuck up for a minute for once… Every man married to a chick like that looks like that. He’s just sitting there, totally defeated by a lifetime of squawking. She starts her rant and he just resigns himself to waiting it out. He’s gone through this thousands of times before. Even though he agrees with every word she is saying, he is still wishing she would shut the fuck up. But he knows this will never happen. …
The “Finger over the Nuclear Button” is verbatim the line the liberal scum used against Reagan back in the 80s…
The sense of absolute entitlement (“he’s in my space, he must move his seat”, she tells the stewardess)…
The immediate playing of the victim card (the old “His mother just died!” trick), as soon as she realizes they’ll be kicked off the plane…
“Gravity is just a theory. DID YOU KNOW That?” Well, dummy, you just proved that gravity kept your ass grounded at the airport…
The tolerant liberal husband completely ignoring the female deputy request to get the fuck out, but complying immediately, when the male officers orders him to do the same thing…
The middle finger the old cunt flips, as soon as she hears “USA” chant…
The applauding passengers, when these liberal douchebags are kicked off the plane (the silent majority does stand with Trump)…
Cool story, bro.
And yet the voting majority (well, plurality) stood with Clinton.
Anyway, the moral of the story remains: don’t be a dick on airplanes.
I would’ve been tempted to say something like “Ma’am, would you STFU so your nasty little scene doesn’t delay the flight?”, but I can’t imagine that defusing the situation.
Sadly, I probably wouldn’t have been quick enough on the trigger to take a cellphone video, like that time at an infectious diseases conference when a presenter got into a shouting match (and near fistfight) with an audience member in the front row). 
Now, we’ve talked about this, remember? You have to put all the checkers neatly back in the box, or you won’t get any banana pudding at break time.
I’d keep out of the way and let the trained professionals deal with it - regardless what the nutty ranting idiot was saying and regardless of its notional alignment, or otherwise, to my own views.
I would have turned up the volume in my ear buds and gone back to reading my book. I mean, do I look like a friggin stewardess to you?
Well… maybe a little.
Let’s see him in the heels and skirt first before we decide.
I’ve seen him in heels and a pencil skirt. 4 out of 10.
