Shocking moment mass brawl between men and women erupts at Atlanta airport departure gate
Daily Mail UK ^ | February 23, 2025 | Laura Parnaby

The shocking moment a mass brawl involving men, women and children erupted at Atlanta Airport has been caught on camera.

Viral video shows a dozen people throwing hands during chaotic scenes at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in the Georgia capital on Wednesday.

The passengers can be seen punching and kicking each other close to what appeared to be the Spirit Airlines departure gates at one of the airport terminals.

Several people stood on the chairs to launch an attack from above, while others grappled on the ground below.

It's unclear what caused the fight or how it was resolved. Atlanta Police Department told DailyMail.com they sent cops to the scene but the crowd had dispersed by the time they arrived.

Several bystanders caught the brawl on cellphone camera from different angles, and shared videos online which attracted more than half a million views.

One angle shows the carnage from afar, with several people standing to watch the drama unfold.

Youngsters can be heard shouting at each other as they hit out. Most were wearing hoodies and tracksuits, and several were wearing face coverings.

I don’t have a problem with their race. My issue is their lack of culture and manners. They can be cured of that if we quit giving them a pass because of their race.

I worked for UAL thirty years ago. When the ESOP came and I realized that we were competing against bankrupt airlines that didn’t have to pay their bills for the Greyhound passenger, I knew I had to change jobs.

Many southern Negroes had been migrating north from the start of WWII and were replacing the men drafted in the factories. They were overcoming union resistance and setting up households. That was continuing into the early 60s when the WoP slammed the door to advancement by giving money for not working and kicking husbands out of the household by giving AFDC liberally to the women and requiring that no husband be in the house to receive the “free” money. The propaganda got going strong then that no Negro can succeed without the help of the Government. KKK still existed as Democrat enforcers but was much weaker than it had been before the war.

All true. On the other hand, my family moved from Colorado to Kentucky in 1962. We were shocked to discover that the Civil War was still raging in the South and to see how poorly Blacks were treated. It was not uncommon to read accounts of Blacks being murdered with no suspects. The schools were segregated, and theirs were in terrible physical condition with lame curriculum.

That all was one spur to migration north. KKK was in the North, too, but were not nearly so active as in the South being that KKK was the Democrat militia and the D-Party was much stronger then in the South than in the North where even in Democrat parts there were nonDemocrat eyes and ears.

Exactly. With blacks, it’s never about race for spanking, it’s always about race for goodies.

Why are you giving them a pass? That’s the question.

I’m not giving them a pass. Why are you?

You said “if we quit giving them a pass.”

But the real problem here is not in your use of the first person. It’s that you’re falling for the low IQ CIA strategy to perpetrate racial division.

The problem isn't race, it's culture.

Ditto that. It's LBJs Great Society in action. Didn't used to be this way but 3 generations of fatherless children, media propaganda and free government cheese this is what you get.

While the writer is DailyMail’s senior New York journalist, she was educated in the midland countryside of England (Sheffield), and is probably English herself. Otherwise, there is no excuse for finding this a “shocking” moment.

She needs to investigate Waffle House culture.

Oh, rather that bandy about additional confusion, let me just state my position as clearly as possible. Blacks are fully intellectually equipped to integrate well into our society. They do not due to cultural problems within their own ranks. Failing to hold them accountable and providing monetary incentives for having babies they cannot otherwise support perpetuates the problem. Liberals “gain votes” and “self esteem” by buying welfare votes and a double-tiered judicial system.

So you're saying only the "wealthy" should be flying on the airlines? Middle class, at least. They do come with better manners

Flying is for lack of a better term, a shared experience. It depends upon a certain level of civilized behavior. Sooner or later one of these brawls involving 20 our more people is going to break out in mid air. What would you do if you are on the flight. You can't run away. If you try to intercede you are liable to be set upon by the whole group. The flight attendants and crew won't be able to help. Middle class and better doesn't sound so bad.

I agree with your proposition to hold black people accountable for their actions, both individually and as a group.

But I can’t help but notice a greater cause of the problem—social engineering focused on racial division as perpetrated by the “cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men” George Washington warned us about in his farewell address of 1796. A concrete example of their deeds is the removal prayer and the Bible from public schools in the early 1960s. Less concrete but equally influential changes includes the encouragement of alcohol and drug use among blacks, as well as the enabling of prostitution, pornography and general debauchery.

Very possible.

...removal prayer and the Bible from public schools...

I come down very hard in favor of that, and for very good reasons. That easily constitutes the establishment of a State Religion, which is very intelligently prohibited by the Constitution.

My personal experience with prayer and Bible study goes like this: I was raised in Colorado, where prayer was not led in public schools. We moved to Kentucky in 1962 where prayer and Bible study WAS done. Each day they had a "devotional time" where a student was picked to read from the Bible and say a prayer. The kids made a mockery of it, snickering and laughing and offering up smart-ass remarks during the readings.

Not only that. I am an LCMS Lutheran; and, we are very particular about our doctrine. Most of the kids and teachers in the South are Southern Baptist. The conflict between their interpretations and mine were significant and terribly important. I was relieved when that was legislated out of existence, and would be distressed if it came back.

Public schools have no reason to teach religion in any fashion save as history and background information on historical events. In order to be done correctly, religious teaching belongs in the homes and in the churches.

The moral decadence you observe in today's society is strictly a reflection upon parents, home life, and the trend to stay out of church. None of that is a result of taking "mockery services" out of schools.

From another angle, if you don't like the way schools teach regular topics, would you actually want them to teach your kids about the Salvation of their soul? Seems like very poor planning.

If I've posted this once, I've posted it a million times.

“Public schools have no reason to teach religion “

In the ‘50s and ‘60s, our schools in NYS didn’t TEACH religion, but we sang hymns in Music class. There was a morning prayer over the PA system. We could go to church on Friday afternoons. For “religious instruction”.

People may not like religion in school, but the country was a better place when there was strong focus on it. The less religion, the less civilized and decent people there are.

...the country was a better place when there was strong focus on it...

I can't agree more; however, this can never sponsored by the government because that clearly violates the Constitution. That separation was for very good reasons, which should be obvious to anyone who studied history up to the colonization of America. Look at the bloodshed in England alone. The Founders KNEW religion is a private matter and not a public matter.

Please concentrate your efforts toward returning parents to the church and taking responsibility for the Spiritual welfare of their children. DO NOT place that into the hands of people you do not know and have already earned your distrust. I am quite sure that I would not want my children's religious views tainted even by other denominations allegedly of the Christian Faith, let alone a Muslim.

No.

You misunderstand.

Has nothing to do with what’s taught.

The problem is students are not allowed to pray or read the Bible in school.

The solution is to remove the ban on individual prayer in school.

“The kids made a mockery of it, snickering and laughing and offering up smart-ass remarks during the readings.”

I know this isn’t true because it represents fringe behavior, even in today’s standards. In 1962, mocking Bible readings would have been unheard of.
