Homophobe gets violent at DFW Airport

[Mertex]

.

Very impressive, the way he tries to KICK the guy.



.

I think it was more impressive how others jumped the drunk and tackled him down and how the cops were spot on in arresting him.

 

[mdk]

Making excuses for this man's actions is like making excuses for the violent and riotous actions of those that were looting/burning during the Ferguson protests. Both of which are ridiculous to excuse. There is no excuse for this man's actions.

 

[aaronleland]

We don't see what led up to this patriotic man's verbal assault. It's quite possible that this homo-queer touched his junk, and tried forcing his penis into this hero's pooper. Either that or he spotted the man in pink watching an episode of Glee on his phone. Either are justification for a kick in the nuts.

This guy is a fighter. Maybe he drunk, but he is sickened by what is happening in the country. He sick of that queers are grabbing more and more territory. He is tired and he wants to fight it. If ideological struggle does not work, he chooses the physical strength. Warrior of Light)

No, he is just drunk and being an asshole. He is lucky the other passengers didn't really get stuck into him, after disrupting them while they were trying to get tickets and board their flights.

Kicking in the nuts is a sound justification for putting him under arrest, if you want to fight or rough-house, pick a ring, not an airport.

Have they lost that right somewhere?

Here in Texas it is not against the law to be gay.

It's not against the law to call people out and challenge them either, is it?

No, he probably could have continued to shout out obscenities until the police arrested him for "public disturbance", but when he decided to kick the man, that's when it became assault.

Shoot, man, that's the very foundation of mudslinging.

Name-calling and mudslinging reflects badly on the person doing it. I think in this case the drunk was being looked upon as an utter fool.

Attacking? Now that's another story.

Yeah, that's why he got arrested. You can dislike homosexuality all you want, but you don't have the right to attack a person because of it.

Thank you for finally confessing that what you call "homophobic" is merely someone who does not like the homosexual lifestyle. Let's try to keep the English language intact as possible.

"There is no evidence that the drunk started his taunts because he was being recorded."

Sure there is he says it right on your video. AND your supposed gay man is recording THE MOMENT your video starts.

There is no evidence that the drunk started his taunts because he was being recorded....only that he doesn't like the fact that he is being recorded after he started his taunts. Sure, he says it, and sure the guy in the pink shirt is recording him, but that is only because he had already started taunting him.

And your supposed gay man walks up on the drunk guy with his camera in the air recording him which drunk guy try's to bat away- then guy in cowboy hat says what's wrong and he says "I sat it on the line" - (he was probably fighting about being line cut IMO) while trying to stop your supposed "gay guy: from filming him was fighting with him about whatever drunk dude 'sat on the line" and says he is pissed because he is being filmed....

There is no law that says you can't record/video someone. Sure he is pissed that he is being recorded, but there is no evidence that shows that is what caused him to yell the insults. And, even if what you say is true, telling someone they are homosexual is a means of insult for homophobes, and that is what he did.

That's all you got, it is NOT a homophobic attack. Who cares what the Daily Kos labeled it? Seriously, the Kos, Mertex? And something written by someone named "librarisingnsf"? Some anonymous guy who does not even know if the guy is actually gay? But decided to label him gay because he MAY be in a pink and white shirt? Come on.

Come on, Cafe, surely you don't think all the people in the airport that jumped on the drunk are conspiring against the homophobe and made the whole thing up. The Daily Kos is way more believable than Faux News, yet many conservatives rely on Faux News to keep up with what is happening in the world.

I suppose your claim is that he never even uttered the words "Queers" and "faggots" and "blacks". In Texas, it would be more likely that people would have chimed in with the drunk, so you making it seem like it was all made up is comical.

You have no clue what happened prior. Period. The source you linked to is not even sure the guy in the "pink" shirt is gay, it says possibly gay. I've never said it was made up and you know it. I've never said he did not say those things.

I said it once and ill say it again, the language was deplorable, his behavior was as well. But what I see is someone using the bigoted words to verbally attack someone he is in a conflict with. The same way I see it on this forum daily. "Oh you fag", "you fucking queer", etc.

It's obvious the fight was going on prior to camera's rolling. We have no clue what started it. seems to me it had something to do with line cutting.

It's obvious the guy was upset about his "setting something on the line".

Its equally obvious he was pissed about being recorded and let nasty deplorable, hateful words fly.

It is not obvious he was using these words cause he thought the guy was gay. The two guys recording it never even intimate this is a hate crime or an attack on a gay guy.

This happened over a week ago. If it was a hate crime all the major news outlets would be covering it, instead we have bloggers and message forum members pretending they know why the fight started.

When you have the entire fight on video and those present stating why he was upset , get back to me, until then it was a loud mouth drunk fighting and using awful words because he was pissed off.

Half a video, tells half a story.

Phobia isn't even an English word. It originates from the Greek word Phobos, which can mean an aversion, fear or morbid fear of something.

Aversion is defined as having a strong dislike or disinclination towards something.

People who claim it's an inaccurate term have put almost zero thought into their argument.

Where can you find a graphic aid when you need one, anyway!

 

[AmericanFirst]

I am not talking about wearing pink in public. I am talking about the ones out in public forcing it down our throats like teaching it to school kids. Keep their sick perversions in the closet.

You think about gay men forcing WHAT down your throat?

You would know more about that.

You're the one that made the statement. You need to clarify.

I am talking about pastors being threatened with jail time for not marrying gays, I am talking about elementary schools teaching gay in schools, stupid stuff like that. If my daughters school did that I would pull her so fast the school would put out a missing child report. My child knows the truth, that gay is abnormal and a sin, period.

Why thank you, A.F.

I hadn't realized you thought of my body in terms of its homoerotic potential.

That's very flattering.

I and several others have thought this out quite well. Apparently you don't understand that the English language wasn't handed to us in complete form by aliens but is a human creation that uses words and root words from many other languages. Even dead ones like Latin. Phobia is fear in English. When you say homophobia please don't tell people you are speaking some foreign language. They will make fun of you.

Drunk Homophobe Taken Down And Arrested At DFW Airport After Altercation With (Possibly) Gay Man


It seems that some homophobes just cannot take the advances the LGBT community is winning nationwide, and some of them seem to have become unhinged (completely) ... such as this man at DFW airport.

The video is dated Thursday, October 23, and shows an unnamed angry man bellowing and threatening another passenger who is wearing a jacket and a pink shirt. A tall man in a black cowboy hat approaches and asks the angry man what he’s upset about.“Queers!” the man shouted. “That’s what I’m upset about. This faggot right here.”
Drunk Homophobe Taken Down And Arrested At DFW Airport After Altercation With Possibly Gay Man

I get it that some don't approve of homosexuality and are completely against same-sex marriage, but don't you think attacking people because they appear homosexual in an airport is a tad radical? Why do those who oppose homosexuality feel like they have the right to call gay people out and challenge them? Who died and put them in charge?

Okay, this guy happened to be drunk.....but apparently he has very strong feelings about gays or he wouldn't have acted the way he did whether drunk or not.

There's hope for America.

The people who took down this vile man are heroes.

We must shame homophobes everywhere and don't let them hide behind their religion like segregationists did.

So? is this suppose to be a "special big deal" or what

those poor poor homosexuals. How do they ever get through life

Yeah, someone that doesn't like someone else's lifestyle to the point that they have to interject themselves into their lives and try to change them by attacking them.

I don't think so. He went on to say:
"Queers is what I'm upset about!" the man tells him loudly. "This [expletive] right here."

He was telling that to others, not the man, so your suggestion is lame.

If you start insulting people in public, be prepared to be video-taped. That's what we do nowadays....

It is not obvious he was using these words cause he thought the guy was gay. The two guys recording it never even intimate this is a hate crime or an attack on a gay guy.

They weren't producing a docudrama.....they were just recording. We can tell it is a hateful homophobic attack because of the words the drunk was using. Nobody that I know has called it a hate crime, so I don't know where you're getting that. That the drunk is homophobic is evident, that you are trying to downplay it is evident, too.

This happened over a week ago. If it was a hate crime all the major news outlets would be covering it, instead we have bloggers and message forum members pretending they know why the fight started.

Several sources are carrying it. It was on our local news.

When you have the entire fight on video and those present stating why he was upset , get back to me, until then it was a loud mouth drunk fighting and using awful words because he was pissed off.

Half a video, tells half a story.

I don't have to get back to you with anything. I posted the link. Anyone can do their own checking and come to their own conclusions. That those on the right are going to try and downplay it is nothing new.

Attacking people is a sin, too. I hope you are also re-enforcing that.
