Delta Flight 81, en route from Atlanta to Los Angeles was diverted and forced to make an unscheduled stop in Albuquerque over an incident in first class that began with “a 27-year-old Wichita man’s singing aloud to music playing from his headphones, which bothered other passengers.”

When asked to stop singing by another passenger and then by a flight attendant, he “made references to the recent Ferguson, Missouri incident” and “also stated he was being harassed because he was black.”(continued)

Air-travel is now worse that public transit. It’s difficult to move quickly to a different vehicle. (Ignoring the whole TSA thing).

I’m guessing singing along to obscene lyrics and was looking to pick a fight about it.

Yep, so he could accuse the flight attendants and passengers of being racists.

I wouldn’t have inconvenienced the other passengers. I would have opened the door and ushered him out right then and there.

OK...For a segment of the population that has gone off the deep end, THIS has gone over the deep end of the deep end!

(It is always possible to add another level of indirection.)

I recently asked a young man listening to loud reggae/rap music without headphones at a computer across from me at a local library if he “would mind” putting on his headphones to listen because it was very distracting. He immediately said, “sure” and just turned the music off. No harassment complaints. People can act in a reasonable manner when they want to. Me included.

Holder’s office will open a full-blown investigation into civil rights violations by the complaining passenger and flight attendant....
