I had to smile at the portion of the story where the airline admits that the
passenger calmed down as soon as he was reprimanded by the flight crew- but the

pilot (probably a Republican), diverted the plane and had him arrested anyway.

Speak against Bush and get kicked off a plane and arrested......and this line
is a classic "Safety and security are our first priortities." Yep, better
arrest dissenters wherever they can be found- safety and security, you know.

Wonder how the guy got so drunk on the plane in the first place? Couldn't be
because the flight crew kept serving him?
If "safety and security" are your first priority, you don't keep selling liquor
to an obnoxious drunk.

Rank speculation to fit your premise, Chuck. C'mon - you're way to smart
for that.

Gould normally does not make wild accusations. I think Kerry's downhill
spiral is getting to him.

At the point where the guy was reprimanded by the flight crew and calmed down,
the "security" issue was extinguished. Something p'd off the pilot enough to
divert the plane and have the guy arrested. Is this a normal response any time
somebody gets drunk on an airplane, discusses politics with a seat mate, and
touches the knee of the person sitting next to him?

I suspect the pilot wanted to punish the drunk for his views, not his
inebriated behavior.

I could give a Schlitz for Kerry. His only redeeming value is that he
represents an opportunity to sweep the current mess out of the White House.
Gawd only knows what we'd have with a Kerry presidency- but based on what I see
happening now, I'd be willing to take the chance to find out.

Somewhere close to half the country agrees with me- and the other half with
you. :-)

"...supervising senior crown attorney...said that when flight attendants
approached Husar, he became enraged, deliberately spilling a container of
alcohol and engaging in "the boisterous behavior of a drunk."... "

The crown attorney was not on the aircraft, but in all liklihood got his
account from the crew.

"...said Corona, adding that Husar quickly calmed down on the plane after
being reprimanded. "There was no threat or no violence. Certainly nobody was
at risk safety-wise."..."

The defendant's attorney was not on the aircraft either, and was in no way
qualified to assess risk.

Not necessarily p'd off. I've sat in that pilot's seat in similar
circumstances, and I'll tell you, you do not let passengers set policy on
issues of safety. One warning, then they're off. Personal politics need
not have played a part, although you can presume so if you like.

somebody gets drunk on an airplane, discusses politics with a seat mate,

and

Now you're over-simplifying to make the event seem silly. Obvious
rhetorical trick. But when a person becomes an obnoxious disruption on
board, it may well be the proper response. It is the Captain's call.

Gould has turned into a troll. It's not worth the effort to sort
through his leftists diatribes looking for anything boat related.



And you were doing so well, Wally, until you fell for the latest John
Smith-Comcast sockpuppet.

So half of the country think both of them are useless, but Bush is the
lesser of two evils?

Wally,
I find Gould be an enjoyable guy, even though we disagree on many issues. I
know I would enjoy boating with him, drinking a beer or whatever, I would
just steer the conversation away from politics or religion.
