The suspect is a 37-year-old Mexican national. He bit one man who helped tackle him -- a Honolulu Marathon runner who had to get a tetanus shot when they landed.

Passengers were questioned for a couple of hours after landing. The suspect is being held at the federal detention center.

Has anyone heard this reported anywhere by the MSM?

aircraft passengers gone wild

The suspect is a 37-year-old Mexican national.

They don't say whether he was legal or illegal, so I'm assuming he's illegal.

They will shelter this maggot because he is a Mexican, and most likely, not a citizen. How unusual...

[geopyg]

Probably just figured he'd get some free meds. It worked out so well for that guy last week. ;)

"he threatened an infant..."



How exactly do you threaten an infant?

[NonValueAdded]

Just another example that the passengers are the new first line of defense.

Another mentally unstable person without their meds.....

Kudo's to the passengers...

After 9/11 people just aren't taking any chances. Good for them.

""I think he's a hero," says Michael Deckard, age 13, about his dad. "I think he did a good job. Obviously he's watching a little bit of football with that tackle. Go dad!""

Well, that's one boy who sounds like he is being brought up right.

[IonInsights]

Maybe they should let him go. That way he could do a job that Americans won't do.

I suppose he was off his meds as well?

Message to anyone out there. . .not taking their medication and who wants to travel. . .

STAY home.

This Mexican guy changed his mind mid-flight about wanting to do the work that Hawaiians won't do.

In other news, John F. Kerry is checking with the
United Nations to see if it's okay to tackle
a bonkers passenger on an airliner.

Way to go, American guys!

I love hearing these stories about Americans on airplanes "taking care of business"...

This is not the first such case, and I'm certain there will be more.....

When I board planes, I look around and do a little "reality profiling" checking out who may be friend or foe.....

So sue me!

[cripplecreek]

I didn't see him threaten an infant or charge the cockpit. I think the other passengers overreacted.

Now can I get me a Today Show interview?

[LibKill]

Of all the places to act out one's stupidity an airplane is the worst.

He's lucky they did not kill him. I certainly would have done my dead level best to do so.

Good Work!
