So much to choose from.

[NormsRevenge]

That he even got on the plane is bad enough.. But once in air is when he really hit his stride.. Should have duct taped him and gagged him. Jerk.

[max americana]

” and that the woman who switched seats did so because he is black,”

Yup. Southwest is racist and so are the passengers, FBI, Port police etc..

[Menehune56]

The perp.

[AppyPappy]

They should issue handcuffs to Stews.

Making the call at the gate about a drunk passenger is tough.

Make the wrong call, or not get supporter by your management, and you get fired. So, the default is to just pass them on, and let it be someone else’s problem.

Also, with today’s technology, an agent usually only sees a passenger for the three seconds it takes to scan the boarding pass.

[no-to-illegals]

I’ll choose TACKEL!

[Boogieman]

Sounds almost like a bipolar episode, but it could be just run of the mill nutjobbery.

[WayneS]

Gang signs and screaming for booze is perfectly acceptable bahavior - but don't you be startin' no Jesus preachin' on our airplane...

[Red Badger]

Just exactly how does one ‘throw gang signs’?....................and how did he even get them on the plane?.............

[skyman]

If the timeline in the article is correct,he did plenty even before the plan took off to warrent a delay in taking off until they were sure he was ok.

[Portcall24]

You’re going to see more and more of this in states where people get stoned and try to function in the normal world around others.

[leapfrog0202]

They should have put him off the plane when the behavior started before take-off! Why let him continue on the plane?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

terrorized flight crews and passengers

I really hope that isn't true. If it is, its a sad statement about what sheep we've become if one obnoxious drunk can "terrorize" an entire plane full of adults.

[Doc Savage]

Don’t they just have a chute they could have thrown this a@@wipe out with?

[oh8eleven]

Another attendant boiled a pot of water to use against the suspect if he tried to approach the flight deck
Ouch! That would have left a mark.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Sounds like your typical feral “youth”.

[no-to-illegals]

Underwear?

[no-to-illegals]

Black Magic Woman.

[ozzymandus]

And yet anybody who points out bad behavior from a black is called a “racist”.

[VerySadAmerican]

His name is Lemar Sheron Rogers. The author did not have to report that he was black. Not that that has anything to do with what happened other than he’s going to play the race card.
