Delta bans Navy SEAL who killed Bin Laden after mask-less selfie
Fox Business ^ | 8/20/2020 | Thomas Barrabi

Delta Air Lines said Thursday that it has banned retired U.S. Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill, the man credited with killing Osama Bin Laden, for allegedly failing to wear a mask during a recent flight.

O’Neill, 44, tweeted that he had been banned from the airline “for posting a picture.” Earlier this week, O’Neill posted a now-deleted mask-less selfie while sitting on a Delta plane, with the caption, "I'm not a [expletive]."

“Part of every customer’s commitment prior to traveling on Delta is the requirement to acknowledge our updated travel policies, which includes wearing a mask,” a Delta spokesman told FOX Business. “Failure to comply with our mask-wearing mandate can result in losing the ability to fly Delta in the future.”

O’Neill said the picture was a joke and that he had his mask in his lap when it was taken. He criticized Delta in response to the ban, writing, “Thank God it wasn’t @Delta flying us in when we killed Bin Laden."

Yeah; it’s just a shame masks do more harm than good. Oh well; just one more business to never do business with again.

Wasn't a stretch. Was on point.

I can tell because I am getting flack from the usual suspects.

You have a nice day now.

You’re wrong on all counts. Civil disobedience is against a government, not a company.

You have a nice night now.

You’re not required to patronize them. They’re there for your convenience.

Corporations are now being groomed to harass and police the public (and customers) and employees based upon the indoctrination by woke left interests. Look at Goodyear too. Until it hurts their bottom line they will fall into line. Big business is now part of the media and left.

BULLSHIT - Banning this man for a second to take a shot so people could actually see his face is stupid and asinine on delta liberal asses part! They give you some water (no costly drinks any longer-saving that money using the pussy CV as excuse to make more without the services) but how the hell you going to drink it or eat the nuts w/o briefly exposing your face! double standards! DELTA IS PUSSY!

Civil disobedience is against a government, not a company.

Wrong again. Civil disobedience can be against any one who is acting as an agent of an oppressive state.

May your chains rest lightly upon you.

They will march right into the camps humming a happy tune for sure. After all it will be run by a business.

I believe you are mistaken.

Definition of civil disobedience
: refusal to obey governmental demands or commands especially as a nonviolent and usually collective means of forcing concessions from the government

I don’t see Wal-mart and Sams on there. Thanks to them, Gov. Asa kept the whole state in Phase # whatever we’re in. When the Waltons instituted the mask rule, the Gov. did the whole state or people would boycott Wal-mart/Sams. We all suffer because of them.

“Spirit of Liberty” my ass.

‘Spirit of a Willing Slave’ is closer to the spirit you’re exhibiting here.

You can’t see that that is exactly what’s going on here?

Sorry but civil disobedience can be against any one who is acting as an agent of an oppressive state.

In this case the airline is acting as an agent of the state by trying to force your compliance with a stupid, illegal and unconstitutional policy.
