A Florida woman was forced to change her shirt praising Beelzebub on a latest flight.
Swati Runi Goyal, 49, was flying from Key West to Las Vegas the day earlier than Halloween carrying a black shirt with the textual content “HAIL SATAN” in all-caps, Buzzfeed Information first reported.
The shirt additionally included the textual content “Est. 666” and an upside-down cross, an image reveals.
Goyal was seated together with her husband on the flight when an American Airlines crew member informed her to take away the offensive shirt or get off the aircraft — delaying the flight till she swapped into an additional shirt her husband was carrying.
“The gentleman requested me if I understood what ‘offensive’ meant,” Goyal informed The Publish. “I stated, ‘I’m a foreign-born minority woman. I do know what my T-shirt means and my T-shirt shouldn’t be offensive.’”
Goyal stated she is each an atheist and a member of the Satanic Temple — and purchased the shirt to help the non-theistic church.
“It’s normally met with giggles and thumbs up from individuals who get the irony of the T-shirt,” she stated.
Goyal, who’s vegan, stated she grew to become a supporter of the Satanic Temple due to its tenets — which incorporates exhibiting “kindness to all creatures.”
“I’m not goth. I don’t have piercings. I wasn’t carrying a shirt that had a goat being beheaded on it,” Goyal informed Buzzfeed. “[I was] carrying L.L.Bean climbing pants and vegan sneakers.”
Goyal informed The Publish that she had to apologize to her goth associates for the remark.
“I didn’t imply to be offensive to the goths,” she joked.

Not on a flight. People are TOO CLOSE together to indulge her thirst for mayhem.
I grieve at the death of the 1st Amendment right to free speech. I don’t feel outright swear words should be allowed on clothing out and around, but otherwise if you want to praise Satan, that is up to you. I would just say “be careful what you wish for”. Also, the first Amendment allows us to condemn the person’s taste in clothing, but I believe unequivocally in their right to wear offensive clothing.
If they can take away her 1st Amendment rights, then they can take away mine.
The founders are rolling in their graves.

“If they can take away her 1st Amendment rights, then they can take away mine.”
It is not a 1st amendment issue. An American Airlines employee told her she couldn’t wear the tee shirt. Maybe it is a breach of contract issue. They sold her a ticket and if there is nothing in the terms about clothing then maybe they don’t have a right to block her flying.
Re: Goyal, who’s vegan, stated she grew to become a supporter of the Satanic Temple due to its tenets — which incorporates exhibiting “kindness to all creatures.”
To people like her, “kindness to all creatures” extends to bugs, sea life, reptiles. But ironically, not to the living human being in a woman’s womb. Satanists are always pro abortion. Just like Satan.
I’ve seen it myself. English writing on clothing is very popular in China. But it is often not what was intended and is humorous to us. But we reciprocate the humor with Asian languages written on clothing, housewares, etc. If you have any Chinese or Japanese friends, just ask them for a translation. You may be very surprised.
Typical Democrat.
Clearly he was trolling for attention and any opportunity to sue if we made him remove the button.
= = = = = = = = = =
Most of the time, if you ignore them long enough they will do something else to get your ‘attention’ and a lot of times it is something you can act against him/her/it.
I figure the ‘ban’ will be lifted any day now and as a ‘compromise’ we are going to be given a ‘directive’ to wear a mask.
In anticipation, I have ordered a combination head wrap/mask:
In BLACK
Skull & Crossbones (white)
Danger.......(RED)
STAY AWAY....(RED)
from me......(RED)
I will be able to wear it when this Schiff passes as it is my ‘norm’ altitude(sic) anyway....<: <: <:
yup.
Do you realize what laws were in effect at the time the founders created the Constitution?
Perhaps rethink your outrage.
“If they can take away her 1st Amendment rights, then they can take away mine.”
“It is not a 1st amendment issue. An American Airlines employee told her she couldn’t wear the tee shirt. Maybe it is a breach of contract issue. They sold her a ticket and if there is nothing in the terms about clothing then maybe they don’t have a right to block her flying.”
Correct. AA is a private company with rules. It is amazing how many people could not pass American Government 101.
‘I’m a foreign-born minority woman.” Always the first crutch even when it has absolutely nothing to do with anything except your own stupidity.
““I didn’t imply to be offensive to the goths,” she joked.”
We still think you suck.

Sounds like something from the old website http://www.engrish.com/
It's still going. Good as ever! Check it if you haven't seen it.
I wouldn’t want to fly with anyone wearing that shirt.
i believe there is a store named “Just Fu@king Lovely” in Japan.
Quite correct, yeti. Private parties cannot violate the First Amendment. It is a contract issue addressed under “passenger responsibilities” in the linked conditions of carriage. Turns out American thought in advance that insufferable a-holes like this woman might give them trouble. https://www.aa.com/i18n/customer-service/support/conditions-of-carriage.jsp
“Dress appropriately; bare feet or offensive clothing aren’t allowed.”
Mixed feelings about this. Part of me wants to call “freedom of speech” and leave her alone to make an ass of herself. The other part of me would like to slap her into next week then spit in her face.
Satan only wants you to turn your back on God. He doesn’t give you anything for doing so. No matter what he promises once he wins he just laughs at you and moves on.
