” he was identified as the lunatic who hurled the N-word at a flight attendant and shouted anti-gay insults”
I doubt this is what got him restrained and arrested.
One wonders what precipitated his outburst…
Was the airline attendant either of those two epithets (or both) and gave him some attitude?
That could NEVER happen, no, of course not…
“I doubt this is what got him restrained and arrested.”
He physically attacked at least one person.
I would hope your that saying a racist word wouldn’t result in full-body duct taping. A piece of over the mouth should be sufficient - if even that.
If he said even one little thing that could be perceived as a threat to a flight attendant, I believe that’s illegal and warrants more duct tape. 😀
