You know, I get your point, but I think you jumped the gun and brought up the race card too quick. The event was immediately deemed non-terrorist--I for one was not thinking about race and motive issues, but you brought that up right away.

That's the problem with people on both sides. Try to get the "big gun cards" going..ie..race cards..before facts and stated opinions have played their role.

I don't see "white privilege" being a factor in this thread. All I see is tragedy in the aspect of how a person manages his grief.

maybe you're right. I will say the first thing that popped in my head when the headline "plane stolen from Seattle airport" hit my phone was -is this a terrorist act and is history about to repeat itself. I'm sure I'm not the only person who thought that. after i read up on what actually happened my mind went back my initial thoughts and I went down that rabbit hole.

we'll never know the answer, but i still can't help but wonder if the name/religion/color of that person was different would the scenario have played out differently?

I just thought when he said....

"I just want you to whisper sweet nothing's in my ear" clearly identified him as a tranny going through reassignment surgery.

You know how high suicide is in the LGBT community!?

All he wanted to be was a damn stewardess and wear a pretty scarf serving cocktails!

Clearly hormone meds were out of whack!

I just wish someone would make a video of his flight with top gun background music and a voice over or two.

Fucking fits so perfectly for THE captain Rich..

That's fine..probably everybody has that thought, especially those of us who lived and were affected by 9/11. I get that, but in this day and age and on forums such as this it's better to take a step back and interpret whether race is being evaluated, in which case here it was not. This is the world we live in.

Someone always has to bring race into it. Usually I just ignore these crybabies. I think I will this time also.

Mate, relax. It’s Sunday. Pour yourself a coffee with a splash of Bourbon, put on some jazz and throw a pork chop on the BBQ or a brisket on the smoker. No need to get all worked up.

Sad, but good he didn't take anybody else out too. I gotta confess, when I first saw this, my first thought was to wonder if it was the guy from this post (https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1517652) who kept going on about how it wasn't really that impressive to do a loop or roll in a c-130. And makes me feel that much better about all the wanding and shoes-off, to maintain such high standards of airline safety.

And to think... the TSA was considering stopping airport security screening measures at smaller market airports in the US. Absolutely crazy.

This guy worked on the ramp at SEA, which means he had a badge (SIDA badge) that let him access the ramp without going through the normal security.

No amount of TSA security theater would have stopped this guy.

Racist much? White privilege? WTF are you even talking about? This was a person that committed suicide with no collateral damage (except property) in a quite spectacular way. I don't think anyone in here cares if they are white, black, purple or grey.... except you apparently. Take a look in the mirror, you are the most racist poster in this thread.

There are 3 or 4 threads on here where someone throws racism claims out of left field.

Seems new norm for some with very little arguable points.

Does anyone else look at this and say "OMG the lapse in airport protocol with this is insane." Like yea sure we can all say yea this dude did some barrel rolls and what not. But now look at it like this....

Now everyone who hates America or wants to do some kind of related event now has knowledge of this.

They know flight times for fighter jet intercept and how easy it is to do this somewhere else.

I could care less about this guy. But does anyone know if he had a large sum of money suddenly magically come into his possession? Could he have been paid to do this?

Things like this are what I think of.....

He's got a point as much as you guys don't want to discuss it or believe it. I don't think it's racist at all, just the reality of the world we live in.

If the dude were brown, or had an accent, people would have absolutely freaked out in a much worse way and Congress would already be passing a bill to further prevent this from happening again.

Everybody has pretty much already forgotten about this incident, and there are reasons why we have.
