“You can’t say stuff because it’s racism, but it will generally be males of a Muslim persuasion. Thirty years ago, it was the Irish.

If that is where the threat is coming from, deal with the threat.” …

We mustn’t offend these savages. They might start hating us.

“Bear in mind, any attempted takeover of a flight will be met by effective passenger resistance.”

We have some younger male relatives from their late teens to early 50’s, who are often asked by the attendants or ticket takers to take aisle seats.

I have a niece and my wife has two, who are, also, asked to take aisle seats. They are 6’ and great shape like they were in college as athletes. They get asked to set in aisle seats.

One female in law teaches jazzercise, self defense and power dancing, she and her 20 something daughter get asked to sit in the aisle seats. One time they, our son and grandson (the guys are/were jocks and wrestled big time) were placed in 4 aisle seats across from each other.

I would not want to tangle with any of the males or females cited above.

My wife joked about the family in aisle seats. The women would shred and blind you with their fingernails while smashing any man’s you know what with their dancing legs/knees.

The guys would just break your neck/arms or use a choke hold to permanently take you out while the women did the above.

If I open my door and step into my driveway and see a dog coming toward me ,wagging it's tail, I would kneel down and try to pat the dog.

If I open my door and step into my driveway and sea a bear coming toward me ,I would run back into the house and close the door.

Why?
I guess I am prejudiced against bears. -tom

Better to go back in the house slowly; running may induce the bear to give chase.

Yes, indeed. Women, too.

Great...I wish they would fly to the USA. I’d fly them. Some ‘lady’ (her Twitter pic shows a lady in a Burqua) said to boycott Ryanair. A Muslim lady doing Twitter? I doubt it is real.

I wish he hadn’t said this. I own Ryanair shares and think he’s a great executive. Problem is - in the current atmosphere, this statement could lead to his arrest and imprisonment, thereby depriving a well-managed airline of an indispensable leader. Indispensable because airlines are easy to bankrupt and difficult to keep solvent.

COnsidering almost every terrorist act in the last 20 years has been committed by single muslime male (acting alone or in concert), he is completely correct in giving them extra scrutiny. Failing that, just refuse to let them fly on your airline. “Sorry, Abdul, but I have a duty to all my other, sane, passengers. Take a bus. (although I’m sure you’ll bomb that too.)”

I carry a couple of plastic HVAC flex duct ties in my carryon bag in case anyone needs to be restrained once subdued. Think a large thick and 42” or so long zip tie.

Apparently some flight attendants carry those.

One of our healthy/younger male relatives was given a couple of these on a flight. The possible target laughed until our relative reminded him there were no knives on board to cut the plastic ties if they got on the guy’s throat too tight.

The rectum calmed down when an even bigger passenger told him what he would do with the ties.

They made the a$$hole stay in his seat until agents came. The agents put the straps around the guys wrists and put his wrists behind him and secured them. Then they duck walked him out of the plane in front of clapping passengers.

Police have special handcuff versions. I figure those might draw attention. Mine never have.
