Speaking of dumb white guys!
Most of those characters look like theyâre far past their street-brawling years and need to have antifa matched to them in weight and age classes.
ââŚa man hurling racist insults at an elderly black womanâŚabused both the woman and her daughter, but flight attendants failed to eject him from the flight.â
Welcome to the new normal.
Trump, UKIP, and âwhite nationalismâ spreading across Europe.
Good thing this guy was seated in the non-tiki torch section.
It feels like the last three or five years have been a little bit eye-opening in terms perceived European cultural superiority regarding things like race relations. No, itâs not just those dumb hick Americans who have their cohort of racist trash. European societies also have their cohort of racist trash!
This wasnât really a satisfying realization. It was nice to dream that there were majority/plurality-white societies which had evolved beyond having racist trash.
Didnât Rosa Parks already put this crap to rest?
The list of reasons not to fly Ryanair grows and grows.
Iâm waiting for some white guy to come along and explain how this isnât really racist since so very many of them think they should be the sole arbiter of such things.
Asshole should have been removed. Ryanair needs to âfeelâ that they screwed up. On another note, I find it kind of funny that the dude said something about speaking to him in a foreign language while they were sitting in Barcelona. Isnât English a foreign language there?
That bigot should have been frog marched up the aisle with people jeering and hurling insults. NO EXCUSE!
has the racist bastard been IDâd yet?
RyanAir knows who he is. They should have passed that along to the police.
One of the onlookers said throw him off the plane but they didnât. The guy is a complete ass.
They were on the ground when this went on. They could have kicked him off. Maybe a routine trouble maker.
Via TPM, the AP:
It wasnât clear what had prompted the quarrel.
I wouldnât call it a âquarrel.â
Anyway:
Her daughter has told The Huffington Post the row started because her mother, 77, has arthritis and it took some time for her to move out of the way for the man to get into his seat.
David Lawrence, who filmed what happened, told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Everything was calm, we were getting ready to take off. And then a man came on board and arrived at his seat, then spoke very harshly to a woman sitting in the aisle seat.
âThat was what got my attention as it was very loud and very aggressive. He started to shout at the woman, saying âget out of the wayâ, âmove your feetâ, âyou shouldnât be sitting hereâ.â
And further:
One passenger said that, âafter the black woman was verbally assaulted, dehumanized, moved⌠the flight attendant took it a step further and went back to console the abuser.â His response was basically: Iâm fine now that sheâs gone.
And more:
However, shadow transport minister Karl Turner said he understood that Ryanairâs failure to immediately remove the man from the flight and hand him over to the Spanish authorities could result in no charges being brought.
Because Ryanair is registered in Dublin and the plane was on the ground in Spain, UK law did not apply, Turner told BBC Radio 4âs World at One. There was no extradition arrangement for an offence of this nature, he said, so there might be no charges unless the man handed himself over to the Spanish authorities. âI doubt whether heâs going to do that,â Turner said.
He added: âI think Ryanair has failed spectacularly, because it should have been dealt with, it should have been handed over to the Spanish authorities, not least because heâs committed really grotesque criminal offences.â
Ryanair tweeted on Sunday that it had reported the matter to Essex police. âAs this is now a police matter, we cannot comment further.â
[âŚ]
A spokeswoman for Essex police said on Sunday: âEssex police takes prejudice-based crime seriously and we want all incidents to be reported. We are working closely with Ryanair and the Spanish authorities on the investigation.â
When you find out
let the republicans know , maybe they can recruit him .
Sounds like their kind of guy
âWe donât care if itâs a prank,â a counter-protestor told the Gazette. âWeâre going to show up because whatâs going to happen is theyâre going to call this and then we ainât going to show up and then theyâre going to really burn down an American flag and itâs going to cause someone to seriously have problems.â
Yeah, boy. Someoneâs in trouble now!
How does one âburn down an American flagâ anyway?
Morons and big talkers with leetle brainz.
You mean they have entitled old white assholes in England, too? Who knew? /s
Get rid of the accent and it could be kavanaugh talking.
So two people had to be moved because an aggressive, abusive racist verbally assaulted one of them?
WHY WAS THE ASSHOLE CAUSING THE PROBLEM NOT MOVED?
Let me get this straight, these bozos show up with Confederate flags claiming to protect an American flag from being burned? And whatâs that rainbow flag doing on the far right side of the screen?
I has a confuzedâŚ
