Two women were removed from a British Airways flight at Heathrow after an altercation reportedly provoked by a Make America Great Again (Maga) cap.
The incident occurred on Saturday as the women, aged 40 and 60, were preparing to board a flight bound for Austin, Texas.
Witnesses said that one woman took offence at her fellow passenger’s red Maga hat, worn by supporters of the former US president Donald Trump, and asked that it be removed, the Sun reported.
Punches were allegedly exchanged between the two women, both booked to fly in premium economy, before they ended up squaring up to one another in the cabin. When the captain called for assistance, police arrived at the scene to escort the passengers from the aircraft.
I also want to punch MAGAs and their dorky red hats, but you don’t really get to tell them to remove them. That’s their dumb fucking choice. Not worth getting booted off a plane for. Your energy would be better spent walking past them multiple times during the flight to fart.
Crop-dusting for justice.
Of note, there’s articles of people being thrown off flights for Palestine related garb. Agree with all you said but the airlines are clearly splitting hairs
Remember, they want to tell others what to wear and how to live - the least we can do is treat them the way they want to treat others.
Maybe, maybe not.
On an airplane is absolutely bad place to start shit.
I am reminded of Benjamin Franklin’s “Fart Proudly”
