It is one thing to be one of those annoying pranksters. But just play harmless pranks.
Damn that is savage.
Pranks of the nature you quote there can get people fired, land business in trouble.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
prank videos are the lowest form of human creation

Attention seaking dickhead gets exactly what he wants.
Who would have thought.
If anyone wants a laugh, feel free to have a scroll through the first few pages of this thread. My particular favourites are those that shout down anyone who even suggested that this might be the case. The usual race to be GAF's most morally outraged member has come up with a few laughable casualties here.
Remember to wait for the facts, folks.

A lifetime ban from all Delta flights is in order.
Well that settles it, I guess. Fucking dickhead.
YouTube should also ban him.
That's what Delta did to the last disruptive jerk on a plane.

Biggest fucking sigh ever. Can't say most of us didn't see it coming. Some early posts in this topic should take note of how easy it can be to see right through some people when there is plenty of evidence of their past behaviour.
Paging Glenn Greenwald and other Twitter celebs who were all over this.

Woah there cowboy most people here were skeptical. There were only a few people saying for sure this dude was an innocent victim.
Although some of the people that were saying that were being mighty condescending.

I always found the sarcastic "Let's wait for more information before we judge them haha" people to be ridiculous.

Not always
If they are disruptive on a plane? Certainly.
Lol just read the thread. Guys post clearly staged video that conviently only started after him supposedly only just talking to his mom and has a channel full of videos showing he does nothing but try and instigate people. Yet, all white people waving his dumb ass goodbye for being thrown off a plane for his behavior are just shifty racist people cause reasons. 🤣

It does happen, there is racial profiling that leads to wrongfully treated good people. Let's not put this one case one a pedestal and discard the rest of the wrong that happens in airports to middle eastern/Muslim looking people.

Not discounting the reality of racism, but what's frustrating is how his whole ploy was so obvious and how so many people completely bought it. Views and attention are his currency

Given the reach this received and his YT history he should be. Sick of people in places of power and wealth behaving like assholes that brings shame to otherwise serious issues. His lies were an actual risk, he deserves to be banned. At least from Delta airlines if they have the power to do it. Should do as a private company. He put their staff and Airline at great reputation risk with mobs shouting about how they'd never fly with them again and cabin crew should be disciplined.
His "prank" has caused so much fighting, arguing and accusations between people as well. What a mess. Half of Twitter won't care though as they got to retweet some outraged celebrities. People will as they always do walk away from this unwilling to swallow their pride and double down on "it's the message that counts". Rather than wanting the liar to be punished.

I'm hoping for a counter statement soon.
If not, I have my gifs ready for this thread.
There was a lot of attacking for people trying to keep a level head by denouncing discrimination but still being skeptic. I mean context really played a role in people's post.
As of now, the narrative is making Adam look disgusting.

There were hundreds of thousands of tweets with the hashtag #boycottdelta because of him. He definitely shouldn't be allowed on another Delta flight again.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
That's even worse when he was identified in this thread as a "Youtube personality" right from the start.
I'm not even the slightest bit surprised at how the rest of this played out.

Yeah I just edited that into my post. What a reputation nightmare for Delta. As much as people may have legit beefs with them over other things, this does not look to be a legit case.
