Maskhole Diaries: Unruly passengers kicked off JetBlue flight to SoCal after mask argument

[marmar]

SAN DIEGO (KABC) -- Two passengers were kicked off a JetBlue flight from Florida to Southern California after refusing to wear masks and when one became physically aggressive toward airline employees.

Video filmed by another passenger shows a man arguing loudly with crew members, cursing and at one point pushing them.

The airline says the man and the woman traveling with him refused to comply with mask rules despite being asked several times.

The Sept. 8 flight was scheduled to fly from Ft. Lauderdale to San Diego. The man and woman were removed before takeoff. ............(more)

Love it

[marmar]

15. There are so many of them they need their own forum.

[AkFemDem]

3. There have been hundreds of these videos- surely by now

People have got the message they won’t win this argument and that they won’t have public sympathy. I really have no clue what they think they’re possibly achieving with this anymore.

[brush]

11. Yep, way too late in the pandemic to still be trying that foolishness.

Now they're on the Jet Blue no-fly list.

Good.

[A_Woman_from_MI]

19. Imagine the indignity!

Jet Blue no-fly list *cringe*

[Joinfortmill]

26. 👍

[brush]

27. IMO all airlines should share no-fly lists.

[Harker]

28. +33. n/t

[KS Toronado]

33. I'm thinking the same thing..........

cause trouble with one airline, lose all flying privileges country wide.
Hope their car gets good gas mileage.

[Jimbo S]

36. or Amtrak

The gubmit train.

[Deuce]

35. I am hoping they are put on a national no-fly list, checked at ticket purchase & boarding...

[Irish_Dem]

50. It should be a public federal list maintained by the FAA.

These people are a threat to the flight crew, passengers and aircraft.

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. I think they kind of like being in the club....

a relatively small group of asshole extroverts that think defying the mask requirement gives them special status in their shrinking freedumb clique. They won't wear a mask, but they wear their notoriety as a badge of honor.

[Joinfortmill]

25. Agree

[gratuitous]

38. Maybe it's a Ralphie (A Christmas Story) fantasy?

You know, when Ralphie daydreamed about his essay getting an A+++++++? The teacher is in ecstasy, the classroom cheers, and they carry him around the room on their shoulders?

Maybe they're imagining something like that happening, and then they are shaken rudely awake.

[ecstatic]

4. Something is seriously wrong with those folks. I think

they need to start doing brain scans on maskholes to see what's really going on.

[durablend]

37. Don't they need a brain for one to do a brain scan on them?

[DBoon]

42. do a drug test first

look for amphetamines and steroids

[Maraya1969]

5. The woman must be the one standing there talking without a mask. I feel like punching these people.

[underpants]

8. She sure was atalking

I wonder if it was to anyone there or if she is one of those people who just endlessly talk on the cell phone.

[JohnSJ]

6. The jackasses should have been arrested

[Joinfortmill]

23. Exactly

[Joinfortmill]

24. YES!

[Champp]

10. Republicans fiercely defend their "right" to make other people sick

while they themselves act like arrogant a-holes.

[Jerry2144]

13. With people like that

I wish they could be removed from the plane after take off, at about 30,000 feet over the Gulf of Mexico

[marmar]

14. During hurricane season.

[NoSheep]

30. over an oil drilling platform

[chia]

16. This San Diegan thanks JetBlue.

[AllyCat]

17. He shouldn't have had to be reminded at all.

You can’t even by a ticket without agreeing to the well-explained mask rules. He knew. And he could have worn his mask during this entire altercation if he had really just been only reminded once for a small mistake.

[yeratowl]

18. floridians...

big surprise

[IronLionZion]

20. Arrest them and put them on the federal no-fly list

and reform TSA to stop sexually harassing brown people so they can spend more time screening for these violent white entitled maskholes.

If I have to get a "randomly selected" hand pat down and my bags searched very carefully despite having TSA precheck and Global Entry just because I'm darker skinned than all of the 9/11 hijackers, then whites can face some consequences for endangering the lives of others during a pandemic. It really is a matter of life and death national security when we have thousands of Americans dead already from COVID. I would feel safer if whites were treated like brown people at least once in a while.

[Joinfortmill]

22. Yup.

[Joinfortmill]

21. Looks like he should also be charged with assault.

[NoSheep]

29. someone needs to kick that punk's ass

[Vogon_Glory]

31. Masks: When I realized why I'd changed my mind.

Let me be up front. I don’t like wearing masks. They’re hot and uncomfortable and even when I speak with my best diction I sound like I’m mumbling. But I wear them anyway.

I don’t know what caused me to change my attitude, that I would comply, even grudgingly. Then I remembered. Several years I took a diving trip to Sipidan. I won’t relate the details about the diving, but it was a long flight back. But what I remembered was that the passenger sitting next to me coughed and sneezed the whole darn flight (Of course I’d forgotten to pack facial tissues or a spare hanky). As a result, I caught the gift that keeps on giving. I came home sick with a cold and feeling ticked off about it. I still blame my seat mate for giving it to me.

I haven’t flown since just after the Pandemic really got going last year. I think I wore a bandana, at least after I took my seat. But for some reason or other, wearing a mask doesn’t bother me too much.

[NoSheep]

32. "you gave me ONE warning! That's it!" Sounds like a petulent child

I guess he wanted 5 warnings. Potential killers get more than one warning I guess.

[ShazzieB]

43. I know, righjust exactly how many warnings did he think he's supposed to get?

First, a question: People are told about the mask requirement before boarding, right? (I haven't flown in years, so I don't know exactly how it works.)

Assuming the above is true, Mr. Maskhole should not need ANY warnings. How is it that so many grown ass adults are actually toddlers concealed under a thin facade of adulthood.

[MontanaMama]

34. Banned from the airline...that's good.

Being placed in the No Fly List would be better and appropriate.

[BlueIdaho]

39. Exactly!

These disrupters are working consciously to stir up as much chaos as possible - and all for the low low cost of a Jet Blue ticket. Put them on the Do Not Fly list permanently.

[yaesu]

40. if it wasn't masks it would be something else, air rage like road rage is the sign of the times

and the capitalistic fascist society where we blame one another for the problems created by the rich elite.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

49. This☝️

[dalton99a]

41. Violent assholes are a public menace no matter which airline they use. Put them on the no-fly list.

[ffr]

46. Irrational behavior from Saturnists.

They're just broken. Don't try to understand them, you can't. Their brains are just mush.

[DownriverDem]

47. Why

aren't these folks identified before they get on the plane? Do they come on wearing masks and then take them off?

[The Unmitigated Gall]

48. There should be Federal charges specific

For this kind of ass-holery.

[Irish_Dem]

51. I agree, they are a thread to the safety of crew and passengers.

An airplane is not the place to start acting out.
