100 high school seniors ejected from plane in NY
A New York school says they don't feel an AirTran flight crew was justified when they kicked a group of about 100 students and their chaperones traveling from New York to Atlanta off of a plane for alleged bad behavior...
People with bad behavior got kicked out of plane all the time. Except one student, Jonathan Zehavi told CNN he felt the students were targeted by the flight crew because they are Jewish. So what the airline did is considered a hate crime? Link: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/06/05...ing-too-rowdy/ |

Just to be safe, assume all straight white men are in on the conspiracy and everyone else is a victim.

No, he will occasionally chime in with a liberal leaning sarcastic political statement. It seems his pushbutton issues are homosexuality, race, and guns.

Wonder if any money was refunded? I'm thinking probably not since it was because of their behavior. Dad's are going to be pissed at their kids I bet...

No shit? I used to live up there. Was always childishly amused about the existence of Christmas Lane smack dab in the middle of their community

There are a lot of racist, bigoted people in this country. There are very few successful racist, bigoted businesses. In this particular case, I'm pretty skeptical about the suggestion that these kids were kicked off the plane for being Jewish. Possible, but ridiculously unlikely.

Uhm yeah, so I'm thinking that the problem here is that it was 100 KIDS (I'm assuming early to mid teens). Early to mid teens are douchebags.

Bullshit.
Occasionally some stupid owner or founder will express his stupid views, but businesses don't operate in a manner that mirror those views. I guess I should be more specific. I'm sure there are small businesses staffed and run by bigots. But large businesses don't operate that way.

The only "hate crime" is me hating folks like these. If the attendant (and then the captain) says sit down and turn off your electronic devices...do it, or get the **** off.
The main problem here is the chaperones it sounds like. I fly quite a bit, and there is always some jerk that has to have his phone (or whatever else) on after they say turn it off. If you have 100 of them doing it, i would imagine it could be quite unruly. Good for Airtran!!!!!!! |
