There are actually people who just don’t realize the environment they are in when they cause trouble on an airplane interfering with a flight crew, especially when alcohol is involved.

Many years ago, I was taking (pilot, retired now) a load of passengers to Calgary for Christmas on a DC9 and this one guy heading there to visit family, had been drinking, trying to have conversations with other passengers, and if they did not respond favorably to him, he’d threaten them with things like I’ll beat your ass when we get off this airplane. It’s like he thought he was in a bar.

The flight attendants were not afraid of him and told him to be quiet several times and were calling me several,times on the flight deck. We just can’t get him to shut up. So I finally called ahead and had the Mounties met the plane. He knew he was in trouble because as passengers were getting off he just sat in his chair and started crying.

As they escorted him off the plane, a flight attendant said, he had told her I could blow up this airplane! I was like, Holy crap, this guy is an idiot. But based on observing what went on, I told her, you can tell the Mounties if you think it is necessary, realizing that this would land this poor, drunk, crying passenger into more serious trouble, than he was already in.

As it was I talked to the local police chief, the next day submitted a report for the Canadian authorities, and they told me they were going to let him of jail the day after so he could spend Christmas with his relatives. I wonder how that went? ;) Anyway I don’t know what the leagal consequences were, but on the commercial airplane it’s not the place where you want to let your inner child loose.

Ok got it. There are plenty of athletes posting ill-informed statements about the virus. Perhaps LeBron is considered different in some way by the right than the other athletes.

Not by the right, he is just probably the most famous athlete in North America and Top 5 in the world. So people listen to what he says even though they probably shouldn't.

I wasn't sure what Lebron meant by this meme when I first saw it. Suggesting equivalence between COVID-19, the flu, and colds, maybe? It's certainly odd. But I caught the tail end of Joy Reid's show earlier, and they seemed to be calling Lebron out for posting it.

Why? I don’t recall you asking for this guy to be called out:

“Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,” Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning. “Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!”

When the president of the United States, whose job it is to keep America safe, regularly compares COVID to the flu, you don’t bat an eye. When a black basketball player does it, you are “glad to hear him being called out.”

You voted for Trump, shouldn’t you be cheering LeBron for possibly insinuating through a meme what Trump openly said?

All The Times Trump Compared Covid-19 To The Flu, Even After He Knew Covid-19 Was Far More Deadly

"We lose thousands and thousands of people a year to the flu. We don't turn the country off," Trump said in March.

An analysis on National Public Radio concluded that we have all the tools we need to put COVID behind us, yet (at least in the US)…politics and social media are the obstacles.
From here on out, my analysis. Do we have the liberty to be stupid? Sometimes yes, and sometimes no.
  • A major political party decided that either science was liberal or more likely,
  • this was a golden opportunity to rile up not only the anti-vaxers, but their home grown dummies that this was not only a liberal plot,
  • that COVID was a made up Democrat plot, at one point an imagined threat,
  • and was an attack on their liberty,
  • and the dummies would be ignorant of past health crises and the recognized ability of States to clamp down on our liberties during health crisises/pandemics/and National emergencies.
Think back during WWII, I’m not going to lower my blackout shades fir some damn liberal plot to limit my libertay! :unsure:
