MMA fighter has full rage fit on Southwest plane

 I try to blog once a day at least but sometimes I get so busy in my family life that some days it's just not going to happen. Yesterday was one of those days, my family was invited to a really nice event out in the country and the setup was awesome. Bouncy houses, petting zoo, fossil dig, great food and ice cream, and the best part, my kids had a great time. 

Someone who having the opposite of a great time is the MMA world's Aaron 'Tex' Johnson. I have a relative that believes when someone is having a great day there's someone else having a miserable day. There are so many people on Earth that it has to be true.

From eyewitness statements and there's actual video from some passengers; this all started over baggage is what they're saying. It is believed that a bag Johnson was trying to put in an overhead compartment was deemed too large and that he would have to check the bag at an additional fee. That was all it took to launch 'Tex' into cage mode. Dude was looking to throw with the flight attendants, now gratefully, from the video I saw, he didn't put his hands on any of the attendants. It should also be noted that he hasn't been accused of physical violence either. 

Everything else was on the table though, belligerent, screaming, cursing, acting like my four-year-old during a tantrum, in other words a full meltdown. One of the worst things about this is that it happened on Southwest. I've always had a great experience with them and their service. United was a little better only because they bumped me up to first class which was sweet. Although I flew solo on United, never with the family so that's a completely different experience.

This all went down at LaGuardia airport in New York City, one of the busiest in the world. Obviously, he was thrown off the plane which I'm sure was easier said than done, but not before he shouted more expletives and ended his tirade with, "Bulls***! I'm getting treated like a Black person right now!"

 Are you freaking kidding me 'Tex'? So, acting like a toddler because you can't carry on your bags isn't enough, you have to go racist too? The Port Authority police were not treating you "like a Black person", they were treating you like a moron that had one too many drinks...allegedly.

'Tex' was strapped to a gurney and taken to a local hospital for "evaluation." Then he was issued a summons for disorderly conduct. A Southwest spokesperson said that Johnson was banned from future flights due to his unruly behavior. Hope that was worth it.
