  1. The TSA needs to liberally hand out lifetime entries onto their No Fly list. The threat of never being able to fly on any aircraft being operated under Title 14 CFR Part 121 in one’s entire lifetime would be an excellent deterrent to those who think they’re going to step on an aircraft and act like a fool.

  2. I’m watching this he’s standing in his seat in his row still why didn’t anyone any man do anything all everyone men and wemen just sit there don’t do anything to stop him to neutralize him everyone just sits there watching him threaten every man woman and child on the ✈️. I swear people are stupid these days. I would at least fight for my safety and all of the kids on the planes safety. Fight for my safety and all the kids but I wouldn’t fight for all the dudes and women just sitting there watching Albert fight to protect kids but you know if it was a plane for the elderly people. Yeah I would do what I could to stopping at there’s men and women on there that could get up and stop. There’s a lot of me American shopper today I only 51 seconds in the video but let’s see if anybody gets up to help… well I watched it I didn’t see anybody trying to stop him or help so bunch of weaklings. people going to get up to fight for their own safety. I mean kids on that plane too and they didn’t nobody even got up to fight for their safety. You’re telling me he’s going to take over that plane with a pencil or a pen or even a damn knife I mean OK so if someone gets cut, there’s 100 other people to tackle him while at one person gets a paper today I seen the weapon in his hand. Actually I seen his hand but I didn’t see the weapon that’s how small it was so what one person gets stabbed while your body else tackles him but no nobody bunch of weaklings bunch of pussies. I mean, I don’t care if you had a gun, I would at least get up and fight for my safety and fight for my life. I mean dam I’m gonna fight for my life anyway you don’t have to help me but I’m going to try my dam best to kill hi or hurt him as bad as possible to assure my safety and my life…..

  3. This scares the hell out of me I’m terrified of flying already if something like this happened while I was on a flight I would have a heart attack my heart goes out to the scared ppl on the flight and the amount of PTSD he has created in them omg this is horrible

  4. He looks a bit like Charles Manson 😮

  5. This guy is staring directly into my soul and I'm terrified

  6. Well the counter terrorism security measures seem to be non existent and instead has funded the terror. Like the London bombings. The whole thing was a skit. To get more money. I know the terrorist actors. They are alive well and non Muslim Australians and are free.
    Count draco are getting this syndicate to act out skits so they can drain more funds for the NSA to live their parallel lives receiving multiple salaries and tax evading and immunity to their punishment for their crimes.
    If this guy claims dracula as his God then this guy must not live well without young blood. They feed off of adrenochrome to live longer…

  7. I can't wrap my head around when you have a plane full of passenger witnessed the midair attack we still call him an alleged suspect. I need someone to "break these down" for me.

  8. Average conservative voter

  9. Is it me, or does this guy have the wide and staring eyes of a psychopath? If not, he's definitely a wingnut.

  10. I think penalties need to be for tougher to prevent the idiots from behaving like this and frightening passengers.

  11. He will be free in a few days. We don’t have good laws anymore

  12. This MF going away for good

  13. Nowadays at this point, The FAA should pass a law into effect that requires all airlines in the US to have either have a door code on each exit and the code should only be accessible for the Flight Attendants, Pilots and First Officers, either that or they should put a card swipe machine on each exit and only the pilot, first officer and attendants should be give a card to swipe there in the event of an emergency! Either way they should really pass one of these laws so no1 tries anything stupid and they should also try to pass this law on every airline everywhere!!

  14. It's time to put air police in planes

  15. The government's solution when a criminal is not fit to stand trial is to drop all charges and put them back out onto the street. There are no longer mental hospitals for these people to go to.

  16. Where were the feminist on the plane?

  17. Nice I guess Marshall’s on planes was bs to make us feel better after 911 lmao

  18. Wako. 📡👽🇺🇸 RUN!!!

  19. Everyone is sitting here calmly once he said he's going to kill everybody on the plane.. man as soon as that first k-word would have came out of his mouth…. He would have had no chance to react…. He would have been nailed to the wall

  20. Biden will sort it. His new appointee has no understanding of flight safety

  21. BS! Blatant terrorism. Give him 20years

  22. Hes is a satanist , they are experimental people sent on purpose and WILL ROAM FREE AGAIN . Has anyone been told what was the purpose of his travel ? Did he have any ? Where did he get the money for it ? Run more surveilance on people like THESE and you will know .

  23. he looks as crazy as he acted. i hope this fucker ROTTS in prison

  24. Did he look less insane when they checked his boarding pass??

  25. well those people are flying free the rest of their lives.

  26. He’ll play the system and go scot free…

  27. Republicans are attacking everything like they don’t live here too. Like they want us to look stupid. I don’t get it.

  28. If you are too "insane" to make it through society peacefully and productively without trying to assault people and hijack planes, then maybe you should be removed from society and locked up. You can't have it both ways. You don't get to plead insanity but then keep living in society and wreaking havoc on those around you.

  29. He looks like a crazy for sure.

  30. How did he even get on the plane looking like that

  31. Immediate Death penalty.

  32. Why aren't they using the T word

  33. Most likely that psycho terrorist is a ABC news zombie 😂😂😂

  34. This man was Psychotically decompensated. Thought disordered and delusional. He needs a psychiatric evaluation.

  35. Too bad a Dwayne Johnson guy wasn't on board to turn his bearded face into goo when he started his threatening rants.

  36. Looks like a completely sane man.

  37. The guy on the plane looks manic. From the gibberish he is said to speak- I suspect he was having a manic episode even before getting on the plane. I certainly do not have any contact with him- so my diagnosis means nothing- but his glaring at the camera in the photo, his speaking gibberish, and his really odd behavior all suggest he is manic- I am a psychiatrist and have seen a lot of manic patients. If he was manic, he should not of been allowed to board the plane. If he was manic as his behavior and appearance suggest- he really not responsible for his outrageous behaviors- he needs mental health treatment. His past arrest suggest he may need to be on a court order and forced to stay on his medication. What he did is horrible but individuals who are really manic have zero control on their behaviors when they are in episode. The airlines probably have seen manics before. These individuals should not be allowed to board airplanes when they are acting so bizarre. Most of the manics I seen are not able to hide their mania well. If he is manic, it not something that started during the time he entered the plane. It likely started days before he went to the airport. When someone is manic, they could actually try and open a flight door. Airlines need to learn to recognize patients that have the stare he had when they took the photo and keep him off the flight- they have little control of their impulsive behavior. If someone he knew was with him before he went to the airport, noticed he was not making sense, they should of never taken him to an airport. We need watch out for people we know when they are acting out and protect them or call mental health services or the police and report that this individual is not able to mange himself- and is presently a danger to himself and others when he manic.

    It’s also possible that taking crystal meth, smoking crack cocaine, or some stimulant. In those cases, they become just as out of control but he is the one who took the drugs and owns part of the responsibility for his presentation. But from the little I know from seeing his behavior on the plane and looking at his photograph- someone needs to rule out Bipolar 1 most recent episode is manic with psychosis. Just my opinion. If he is currently very I’ll with the mania, he has little control of his current behavior. Unfortunately he has little to no control on filtering his behavior when he is so ill. I certainly am unable to diagnosis this, but everything I seen, is very consistent with a severe manic episode. His talking gibberish is certainly not how normal people act in public. I hope he gets the help if I am right. I glad he did not find a way to open the exit- which hope the airlines made it impossible just to open a door during any flight.

  38. He has a history of mental illness
