A Brazilian Jujutsu star got into a shouting match with Southwest Airlines flight attendants before being marched off a flight and “assaulted” by a group of female flight attendants who literally pushed him off the aircraft. He later claimed he was being “treated like a black person” as he was escorted out of the airport (in a stretcher). Buckle up…
Brazilian Jujutsu Star Aaron “Tex” Johnson Pushed Off Southwest Flight After Heated Confrontation
Aaron “Tex” Johnson is a foul-mouthed Brazilian Jujutsu star (to be clear, he’s an American born in Ohio who participates in Brazilian Jujutsu or Jiu-Jitsu, a Jujutsu specialty). He now lives in Atlanta and was at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) on a Southwest Airlines flight when he got into an argument with a flight attendant, reportedly over baggage.
This is the video that has gone viral:
But TYT has a bit more, showing how this escalated in the first place:
Johnson argued with a flight attendant before a passenger seated behind him spoke up. That incensed Johnson, who turned around and began screaming and threatening the passenger (“You’re a loser! You’re a loser! You’re a loser! You’re a loser!”). A flight attendant returned and blamed Johnson.
Johnson began to accuse the flight attendant of “abuse” and “assault” (assault is an intentional act that causes another person to reasonably fear imminent physical harm and is often confused with battery). Then a trio of female flight attendants began screaming at him to get off “their” plane.
“Get off my plane! Get off my plane!”
Yes, they physically pushed him off.
And I have to admit, I love those ladies. Kudos to them. Even if the issue unnecessarily escalated in the first place or was not even the fault of Johnson (this we still don’t know), his explosive temper and foul mouth showed that he was not fit to be on an airplane.
Rather than delaying everyone further by emptying the plane before forcing him off, the flight attendants just pushed him off. Frankly, Johnson deserved a punch in the face for his poor behavior. Someone give those flight attendants a medal.
Johnson was later pictured on a stretcher (ROTFL) being wheeled down Concourse C. In addition to more bad language, he called out, “I’m being treated like a black person!” (prompting laughter from onlookers).
CONCLUSION
I’m sure some will disagree and argue that the conduct of the flight attendants was not appropriate (you simply don’t touch a passenger), but I think the flight attendants should be commended…they’re the type that I would feel quite safe flying with it. As for Johnson, three senior citizen flight attendants put this loser in a stretcher. His bark is obviously worse than his bite…no wonder he retired from Jujutsu.
He is a ‘star’? Hilarious, and that’s where the problem starts
Yeah, a “star” flying Southwest….. LOL! I guess he can switch to Spirit since Southwest will likely ban him. Spirit would be more befitting to him anyways.
Nothing says “I can behave myself” like a neck tattoo. What a chump.
That neck tat will look even more impressive when he’s 75…IF he makes it that long, lol.
Kudos to these FA’s, you are in their world, you follow their rules.
He’s a clown.
By the way the pop up scan scam seems to be gone. Thanks for addressing it.
Star? The guy doesn’t have 10k followers on his Instagram. Some kids at my kid’s school have more followers than that, nobody knows who he is and he flies Southwest while being based in Atlanta. Star? Also, if you are into Brazilian martial arts, you play Brazilian jiu-jitsu not jujutsu.
Everyone in Atlanta thinks they’re a star.
Kudos of the FAs for not taking his sh!t. Happy they were not injured defending their turf. I personally think that these outbursts should be handled very publicly and very directly. Time for adults to act like adults and time for the rest of us to say, “enough.”
Everyone in the world acts like they’re a “star” thanks to social media.
Big bad crybaby shooed off a flight by the ladies.
This guy is right about Southwest Airlines. Southwest (along with American) is always getting sued for mistreating Black passengers.
Tattoed neck says it all.
Mentally ill.
I agree that he was obviously acting erratically. But, there isn’t video showing what happened to set him off. And it sounded like the guy behind him threatened to punch him and he called him out on it. I disagree with the flight attendants pushing him off the plane. In our society, it’s not acceptable for men to be physical with women. That’s the only reason those flight attendants are comfortable pushing him. They know he’s not going to do anything to them . Seems like a double standard, and unnecessary that they’re pushing him down the aisle.
