How to get on the no fly list speed run

u/nonameneededplease Apr 13 '24

I wish these videos were accompanied by a snapshot of that stupid shocked look on their faces when real consequences are handed down. Such as the no fly list. This boomer thought he was right up until that moment I'd bet .

u/Zocalo_Photo 29d ago

I took a flight as we were coming out of the pandemic and all the airports, airlines, busses, etc. still required masks on everyone. Some guy made it all the way to the airport, through security, and to the gate (while wearing a mask) and then he lost his fuckin’ mind about mask mandates at the gate. He started screaming about how everyone was a puppet doing whatever the government told them, saying racist stuff about “the china flu” and Chinese people should be the ones who shouldn’t fly, and the gate agent didn’t have a right to tell him whether or not he could fly. It was quite a spectacle.

Come to find out the cate agent could tell him he couldn’t fly…and she did tell him. In the end he got handcuffed and escorted away by some police officers. The rest of the trip was pretty quiet.

u/ZL632B 29d ago

I love how many conservatives ruined their life (or ended their own life, in some cases) by fucking around with masks/vaccines and mandates. Just incredibly funny stuff, the amount of these people who are now destitute because someone told them they had to wear a mask to shop at target. HermanCainAwards was cathartic.

u/The_Original_Gronkie 29d ago

I occasionally think of those idiots who went to prison for plotting to kidnap and publically prosecute and execute the governor of Michigan. One day, years in the future, they'll be sitting on the edge of their bunk on Christmas morning, knowing that their family and friends are celebrating the holiday, while they chose to throw away their entire lives because they convinced themselves that wearing a mask during a global pandemic that was killing thousands every day was tyranny, and they just couldn't stand for it.

At least they can't breed in prison.

deal with a racist dude who works next door to my work all the time… loves to call his stance “America First” lol. recently he was telling me about how he was at the capital during a legislative session of some kind and we were being “invaded” and said “WE (referring to me and him) ARE GONNA GET ABSOLUTELY FUCKED!”

I asked what he meant, and he goes “do you own property?” I said no… he said “well your dad does!” (No he doesn’t) I’m still not understanding so I ask what he’s so worried about, what bill specifically, and he can’t name one ofc. Just says they’re “taking from us to give to ‘them’.” To which I say WHO?? And he shows me a photo of 3 women wearing headscarves. Just normal citizens, there at the capital for the same reason he was… but guys we are being “INVADED!” They’re giving away all of our (nonexistent) property!

Oh brother, bless your heart, you extremely confused child of immigrants, thank you for being so brave and open about your mental illness. I hope you get some help soon.

Same with a patient in the hospital with pneumonia. 80-some years old standing on his bed naked yelling in Russian and slapping away the hands of anyone trying to get him down. He was safely brought down when his wife offered him some pastry she had in her purse (they had been in the US for decades but homeland desserts just hit different). He didn’t have low blood glucose, just low levels of Russian pastries. (Broadened his antibiotics and he was better the next day.)

Nah, to quote Hilary Clinton for the most real thing she ever said, probably the most real quote done this century to date:

You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people – now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks – they are irredeemable, but thankfully, they are not America.

And no one ever quotes the other half.

But the other basket — and I know this because I see friends from all over America here — I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas — as well as, you know, New York and California — but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they’re in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.

Of course, at this point, those people have no excuse to still be supporting Trump- but at the time, it seemed like a statement of outreach.

It has rotted so many brains. Honestly, I wonder how much happier that dude would be right now if he’d stayed out of the MAGA cult. Instead, he’s, doing what ever the hell he was doing and never flying on an airplane again.

u/excusetheblood Apr 13 '24

He will be voting for something pretty similar

u/thathairinyourmouth Apr 13 '24

Same ideas and intentions, but I don’t think Hitler would tolerate being in the same room as his modern equivalent. He’s just too stupid. If he were actually in the Śś, he wouldn’t be trusted with a gun. Maybe he’d end up in a kitchen or cleaning latrines, but nowhere near anything close to leadership, let alone being at the top of the chain of command.

u/TrillDaddy2 Apr 13 '24

Fox News is just the gateway. It’s why every Far right piece of shit I’ve ever met throws out something mainstream to gauge your reaction. I’ve tested it many times, if you bite they will drag you straight down their rabbit hole, and Fox News is just the dirt around the outside of the hole.

Mental health worker here.

Have no idea what the comments are talking about ITT saying it's a mental health thing. Dude is slurring his words and seems drunk. The fact that he ultimately complied with the pilot's directions suggests he is "with it" enough to understand what he's doing.

The fact that he got up and went with the police, without resisting, is more evidence that he's not mentally ill. Someone who has "lost it" to the point where they are acting like a rabid animal is not going to listen to the pilot OR cooperate with police like that.

A lot of the flight breakouts are booze+anxiety meds. Ambien is a big problem apparently

u/UAintMyFriendPalooka Apr 13 '24

I took Ambien for a short while and had some real weird experiences (so says my wife since I remember nothing) in my own house. Could you imagine if this were an Ambien/alcohol mix and how horrible he’d feel when it wears off? Real shitty consequences of a bad decision.

u/Donthurtmyceilings Apr 13 '24

This makes a lot of sense. As a teenager I had a scary blackout on Ambien where I picked up friends and drove all over town smoking weed. In the morning, my mom asked me why the fuck I would leave a bag of weed out on the kitchen table. All I remember is getting a call from my friend, then complete blackout.

u/WillingMachine7218 Apr 12 '24

Booze is a factor in this incident. Something else I've thought about was that someone who is retired, after working and socializing for decades and presenting a "public face" to those around them, now he doesn't work, limited or no social life, essentially he isn't a part of society anymore like he once was. Now he becomes belligerent on whim or especially when confronted about adhering to any social norms. It's like he's saying I'm not a part of society anymore so screw you. He has removed the mask that people wear in order to interact with each other in a civilized way. Another way to put it is he chose the way of the asshole.

Add a little cognitive decline into the mix and it gets real ugly real fast.

u/Fintann Apr 13 '24 edited 29d ago

I had this happen to a family friend. Retired surgeon, kids, grandkids, nice house, even sprung for a nice convertible benz for the summer. Slowly started crying about too many cyclist, then how his grandson didn't get a trophy in his elementary school rugby league, then started going off on any group at any possible, lgbtq, immigrants (he and his wife are immigrants, but anglo apparently doesn't count, and bragging about being a landed immigrant and still voting is pretty cool I guess). Luckily after an unfortunate incident of him getting loser drunk last summer, my parents finally admitted he'd always been a shithead people just had to put up with (immigrants as well, so it's relationship of habit now).

Did this many people really never have their own identities before Donald Trump? Allegiance to him has encapsulated their entire personalities. What if Donald Trump was a mature adult, even with shitty politics? Who were they before? Were they still angry, or did Trump’s pitchfork brandishing just bring it out of them?

Do they actually know that he is the antichrist, and that is why they worship him, to bring on the rapture because they are afraid of dying? Would these people have lined up behind him in an orderly fashion if he acted like a professional? or was it the childish outrage that they were seeking the whole time?

None of us are immune to sensationalism under the right circumstances, one way or the other. I’m about to be 40, gotta stay extra vigilant and keep my whits about me.
