Pennsylvania woman was arrested at Miami International Airport for allegedly being disorderly on a flight and not complying with the flight crew, according to a police report.
Karen Halnon, 52, was on an American Airlines flight headed from Managua, Nicaragua to Miami on Saturday.
Officials and passengers said Halnon, a Penn State University professor, started ranting about halfway through her two and a half hour flight.
“The United States has declared war on Venezuela! The United States has declared war on Venezuela!” the woman repeatedly said, according to iPhone footage shot by a fellow passenger. “Venezuela has been declared an international security threat!”
The video also showed the woman lighting up a cigarette and trying to blame another passenger.
Reached by phone Monday night, Halnon told NBC 6 she was “protesting U.S. military global domination, U.S. imperialism.”
Halnon, who described herself as a revolutionary, said she didn’t mean any harm and said the cigarette was a joke.
“That was more in jest, every good revolutionary smokes,” she said. “You have to have a sense of humor when you’re in this kind of situation.
Police said when the plane landed and an officer approached her, she was asked to stop yelling but refused. She was asked to exit the plane but replied, “(Expletive) you. This is not a democracy.”
Halnon reportedly refused to calm down and was escorted off the plane where she was later arrested for disorderly conduct. She was taken to Miami’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Halnon said she was questioned by the FBI and was mistreated.
“...Well....she was tenured. I’ll bet the chancellor has a meeting and she’s offered a weekend to come up with a simple resignation, and they will pay her around $150,000 to just walk out the door. ...”
And she will thence obtain a job more appropriate to social science “professors” - barrista at Starbucks.
Only tenured folks who publicly express doubts about climate change or gay marriage are subject to dismissal.
All silly, non logical, and completely idiotic politically correct nonsense is accepted and encouraged.
“....I don’t know anyone who was indoctrinated by these loons and if so then you either failed as a parent or your child is a fool....”
Well, SOMEBODY elected Obama twice, didn’t they? Guess there’s a LOT of failed parents and foolish children.

To a degree.
People voted him in twice. Lots of people.
these loons think that they are the intellectual elite that should rule the country like Plato's guardians in The Republic
Sociology — it figures.
Absolutely, friend.
Thanks for posting that article, too. Just another example of what kind of lunatics we are dealing with now.
They’re becoming increasingly unhinged.
Perhaps the world would be better off if we were all under ISIS global domination. We'd certainly be rid of her, they'd roast her over an open pit.
I worked on a college campus - most of the professors are squirrely. Especially liberal ones.
I’m betting the farm that this twit is a registered DEMOCRAT..
“People voted him in twice. Lots of people.”
Well, they were just part of the first generation of “children” who were “indoctrinated” in post WWII “gubimint skruels.”
