6 Passengers Kicked Off Plane At LAX Accused Of Being Unruly Claim Discrimination

LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (CBSLA.com) – Six passengers kicked off a Spirit Airlines plane at Los Angeles International Airport Monday night accused a flight attendant of discrimination.

The travelers said they were singled out and booted off the aircraft because they are black.

“I’m really humiliated just for the simple fact that you hear about this type of stuff happening in America, discrimination issues and stuff like that, but to actually experience it first-hand,” said passenger Alexandria Wright.

Witnesses told CBS2/KCAL9’s Tom Wait the passengers were removed from Flight 868 after a white flight attendant accused a member in the group of being a threat.

It started with confusion over a seat, which the travelers claimed was double-booked. Then police came and escorted the three couples, all black, off the plane.

“It was more than just us having the conversation. Why is that six black people got kicked off the plane?” Wright asked.(snip)

After arriving at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, witnesses on the flight told reporters the banned passengers were being disruptive.

Did they blood test their blood for alcohol? Find out which airport bar they were drinking at and fight this. Everything is racism, it has to stop.

I am more than willing to bet that what the 6 passengers say varies greatly from what actually happened.

And the authorities and the media will side with the passengers and as soon as the video is shown disputing this, the blame will be put solely on the person who took the video.

Wash, rinse and repeat.

“It was more than just us having the conversation. Why is that six black people got kicked off the plane?” Wright asked.

Probably because you were the ones that claimed the mixup was because of your race, and threatened the flight attendant.

In other words, it was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Some additional detail:

Officers escorted a man and his girlfriend off a plane after he became upset when his seat was double-booked, and five other passengers were removed when they protested his treatment, airport police said Tuesday.

The incidents occurred Monday evening as Spirit Airlines Flight 868 was boarding at Los Angeles International Airport for a trip to Dallas, according to Officer Rob Pedregon.

The couple was offered two other seats together on the same plane, but the male passenger remained unruly and police were called, Pedregon said.

“The man was not happy,” Pedregon said. “He got irate and started to raise his voice.”

Why didn’t these African Americans SIMPLY follow directions?

Do they skip that class in the inner city schools?

99% of the issues are Blacks refusing to obey directives.

Then I have to listen to Boring Norah O’Donnel on CBS this morening say the incident was “troubling” . It was, but not that they got kicked off, but that they cannot follow the directions of an authority figure.

As soon as “civil rights” legislation was passed, they took it to mean that they could do no wrong, and became defiant.

No one would boot them for “being black.” They were booted for acting like street savages. Then, as always, they took advantage of the laws to claim immunity from the consequences of their uncivilized actions.

“According to witnesses, it all started with a dispute over a seat, which the African-American couples claimed was double-booked by the airline.”

Looks like someone thought they were going to get a free flight.

I am surprised that 0bama has not yet used this incident to play the race card. The day is still young.
