He’s probably lucky he didn’t threaten kill them in the name of Allah.

Time to drone-assassinate some Christian preachers.

Just a shade more unhinged than the guy I saw on the Blue Line trolley in San Diego in April, who went on a rant about the 5G/Covid connection, and how the angels were not going to save us on purpose.

So Jesus hates airplanes? :thinking:

(…googles…)

Hey, look at that!

And honestly, that deserves more than 5 views (including my own). :grin:

Accept the love of a benevolent deity, or accept an eternity of infinite torment.

Oh, hey, I choose neither. Thanks.

I mean, honestly at this point, if angels did exist, I wouldn’t blame them for skipping out.

Yeah. Good job.

Psychiatric problems can be difficult to deal with. Hopefully this dude gets help.

I wonder if they were air marshals, though I don’t think they really had the bearing (the guy in front of the camera doesn’t look like he knows what to do next). Isn’t this precisely the kind of post-911 thing they were brought in to stop? Or is this just like the SROs that run and hide when they hear shots fired?

Probably should go on the “no fly list” until he gets help. I can only imagine what was running through peoples minds as this individual started this.

If America can’t reverse its runaway Floridafication problem, airlines will at some point have to install brigs in the cargo holds of their planes, just to be able to run their business.
