Catfight On Spirit Airlines – Taunts Lead To Blows

Matthew Klint Posted onJuly 29, 2021November 14, 2023 54 Comments

a group of people on an airplane

Another day, another fight on Spirit Airlines…and an important reminder that fighting onboard is simply not worth it. As much as you might want to give self-entitled jerks a piece of your mind, it is best just to keep your lips sealed, especially in a narrow metal tube.

Spirit Airlines Catfight…Totally Unnecessary

I bring you this particular story because it really could have been avoided. While the audio is difficult to discern, here’s what I can gather:

  • A woman was booted off from a Spirit Airlines flight for failing to wear her mask
  • She could not understand why she was thrown off and used a string of foul language to express her outrage as she walked down the aisle toward the exit
  • Other passengers called on her just to get off, with one passenger singing, “Na na na na hey hey-ey goodbye,” from the 1969 hit Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye by the band called Steam
  • It appears that one passenger, an older lady, took issue with her poor language and poor behavior and gave the poorly-behaved passenger a piece of her mind
  • This enraged the ejected passenger and a war of words escalated
  • The ejected passenger got up into the face of the older lady and made a gun gesture with her hand
  • The older lady actually made the first punch and a catfight ensued
  • Video ends before the fight is broken up

Please note the video below includes profanity and is not safe for work or children. I also don’t condone the racism expressed in the tweet:

Sisolak’s & Clark county COVID mandates have yet again killed business tourism and we now have the return of Ghetto Trash….

I write about this incident because I really empathize for the older lady. Sometimes we do need to be called out when we do wrong and this self-entitled woman appeared to desperately need correction (and to have her mouth washed with soap). But the idea of correction from an elder is fast becoming antiquated in our new world and it is hardly surprising she did not react well to being admonished.

In that sense, it is best to simply remain quiet when you observe others acting up. As another passenger admonished the older lady, it is not worth it – just let it go. The fact that she threw the first punch is also simply not acceptable.

CONCLUSION

While another catfight on Spirit Airlines is hardly news, this particular incident caught my attention because it was egregiously unnecessary. As tempted as we are to correct others, even if altruistically for their own good, it is simply not worth the risk when onboard an airplane.

      When Airlines were holding onto the middle seats and not packed flights. Passengers were not sitting on each other and the flights are smoother. Comfortable and without incidents. The problem is Americans do not want to pay the price. However delta first class have had their problems to.

        The more American blacks on the plane the higher the odds of a fight or other such poor behavior. Most people including African blacks know how to behave better.

    Where was airport security? Literally is anyone surprised this happened when the crew just stepped back and assumed the maskless passenger would exit quietly? The first thing they should have done was get security on the plane to escort the women off.

    One group is 13% of the U.S. population and commits 53% of the violent crime.

    For our groups, it’s important to teach kids young that free speech means people can say anything and words should not lead to a physical response. Don’t let people provoke you. Be ready for self defense but don’t attack because someone called you a bad name. Our groups are under attack by leftism and globalism. We shouldn’t be getting into foolish bar fights with our brothers or drinking excessively (the top mentioned group is naturally violent. Excessive Alcohol consumption is what brings down our IQs to their level and leads people to be stupid). We shouldn’t be sloppy. It’s one thing for a 9 year old to hit a bully who taunts him for weeks so the bully will stop harassing him. It’s another thing for an adult to be starting fights with strangers because of speech uttered.

    @ChuckMo

    Ditto on the meteor. There is little hope with the devolution of culture and bad demographic trends.

      Since your casual racism is just SOP and basic boring at this point, a more interesting question…were you born racist, or did you just evolve into that? Nature vs. nurture, inquiring minds want to know.

        Jackson Waterson may be racist, but can you refute the crime statistics by race published by the FBI?

        https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf

        Page 3 has the relevant table. One should note the the black population in the US is much younger than the white population, and younger folx tend to commit more crimes. Prisoners are disproportionately male. Is the criminal justice system misandrist?

      @Jackson Waterson: In other post, I noticed you using the ambiguous term “white”, but now, you use the word “Group”. I preferred it when you gave the ‘group’ you favored the identity of “White”. As such, what is the officially agreed upon ‘cut-off’ for being considered white? For example, I was always reared to believe that only Scandinavians are truly white. My mother goes by the color of the nipples, and color of the private parts of the anatomy. She said that if your anatomy in those regions are any color other than ‘pink’, or ‘pinkish-red’, then you could not be considered ‘white’, nor could I bring home any girl that did not meet that standard. So many girls I have been with, have had a brownish tint to their private area. I feared marrying my true love, because what if we had a baby, and my mother had to change the diaper, and discovered either a tan-colored scrotum sack or pudendum! It would TOTALLY ruin our perceived whiteness! Where do YOU ‘draw the line’? I am very interested. Are you too, Scandanavian?

    I just watched a white lady knock teeth out of a white flight attendant for asking her to wear a mask. Didn’t see the racist comments there. Didn’t see FBI statistics posted. Didn’t see the ghetto comments. Just us I guess. Jan 6th is a perfect example of the hypocrisy in this country that I served for 8 years. All love from me though. I love y’all racist asses too.

      Homie say what? Doesn’t it strike you as odd that the protest that is known by a date, 1/6 is mostly white. That is because it’s the only protest by mostly whites. All of the others all year long don’t go by dates because there were to many BDM protest to recall.

    Maybe it’s because I’m Australian. But I can’t understand one word that anyone in this video spoke! I accept that, from what I gather, Spirit Airlines is the airline of choice for those who swim in the shallow end of both the gene pool and the socio-economic ocean. But seriously, this video needs English subtitles!

    American blacks were raised without respect for anyone or anything. You see it at a very young age. It’s all about them. African Blacks behave so much better as a rule. Political correctness should’ve never banned the N-Word. We would all be better off if we could distinguish in our descriptions whether we’re referring to a black person or a N-word. There is a clear difference. Just like there is a difference between whites & white trash. It’s a slippery slope when you start telling people to eliminate what words they can’t use. Freedom of speech should always be protected, I actually think blacks would behave better if you could call them out when they act like N-Words. This is an honest opinion that shouldn’t be written off because of one word. It would be better ponder what I’ve said & intelligently respond. Something needs to happen to improve behavior & relations.

      Hold on now this can not be said of black people only! As my son has said countless times the words that the white culture now allows their children to call them is insane not to mention you have no right to be in my room! As he said never in a million years would he have said that to me because he already knew his feelings were going to be hurt. Now my son takes issue with this because he is helpful of the elderly but only because the color of his skin are they fearful. He will stop traffic for them to safely cross the street. Let’s not forget that blacks are not out there doing the mass shootings because they were bullied as children. So stop

      The N word has a definition in the dictionary. I suggest everyone look it up. The N word does not mention a skin color it rather refers to the character of the individual. What is wrong with people? What do they fear? What ever happened to kindness and consideration. Clearly the rules are wear the mask while in flight. If you disagree find another mode of transportation. Or just wear the damn mask!!
