The situation didn't "happen to your husband"
This is disgusting he should've been charged with attempted murder.
This is so messed up. He tried to end the entire plane of lives on board. This is unreal
Racism at it best! 🥸 white privilege on full display.
Imagine it was a Muslim they probably would have said he is a terrorist, and kept him in jail for the rest of his life🤣
Crazy can find you anywhere. 😳
They deleted my legitimate comment 4 times. So I have to arrange it the way it is below. Apparently, there's an objectionable term in it. As though what he did was sane. Just a slip-up. How many times have balanced people done something that extreme? Here's my comment:
FORTUNATELY he DIDN'T do ANYTHING catastrophic. LIKE bring DOWN an AIRLINER full OF people. IF makeup AND disguises WERE available I'D be CONCERNED, but GO ahead AND let THE p s y c h o OUT…
Attempted murder en mass? no problem……if your white? Just go home
Wow…..like every body says……..America IS great……isn't it?
Wow. Just wow. Since when did trying to end a near triple digit amount of lives in a blink of an eye get watered down into a misdemeanor
Pink privilege
I dont mind him getting mental health treatment, but why does he get the privilege of being released from jail? Oh yeah…cuz he's a white, professional male. What a joke.

White privilage. Thats attempted murder for everyone on board.
He doesn't have no mental health issues. If he was black he wouldn't have been out on bail. He should be locked up not out on bail. He almost killed people.
Ruined his whole career for nothing.
No shroomin while your zoomin
He's white. That's ALL that needs to be said. Attempted murder of 84 people?!?! And free?!?! SMH
You're so happy!!? Your husband nearly killed a whole plane-load of people, for Pete's sake!!
They treat them differently by race, just saying is all.
Was the mushrooms and no sleep worth it?
