Summary: A man on a United Airlines flight attacked a sleeping passenger, punching him repeatedly until his face was bruised and bloody. The suspect, Everett Chad Nelson, claimed the victim had attacked him earlier, but a witness stated Nelson’s attack lasted about a minute and the victim did not fight back. The FAA is investigating the incident, which is one of over 1,700 unruly passenger incidents reported this year.
The outburst of Everett Chad
What is wrong with America?
A rampant culture of Indignant Self-righteousness mixed with a shockingly high level of undiagnosed and/or untreated mental illness. All this leads to a sizeable population of people who wholeheartedly believe that consequences don’t apply to them, and the actions that follow them.
how long you got?
Our healthcare system doesn’t take mental health seriously so only rich people can afford therapy and even then, only a relative handful of people actually seek it out.
Drugs, in this case.
Everett Chad Nelson?
As in, Everett like Everett True, the guy from those early 1900’s comics who always beats people up?
Chad, like Chad as in… an “alpha” or otherwise hyper-masculine male?
Nelson, as in the bully from the Simpsons?
Nominative determinism strikes again. (Maybe I’m in that community and just didn’t look idk)
He fought back by blocking the fists with his face, who is the bigger chad?
The most surprising thing is it wasn’t United Airlines itself beating up the passenger.
They’re testing their new program where the outsource the beatings for liability reasons.
The attack lasted a minute and the victim didn’t fight back?!
You hit me once and it is on. (That’s if we are on the ground)
On an air plane you hit me once and I call a flight attendant and have your ass arrested. On an airplane you hit me twice and it’s on. I have a legal right to defend myself. (And yes I know you can’t be arrested by a flight attendant, but the flight attendant can certainly call someone who can arrest you).
