- "An angry man was caught on video last week attacking a fellow passenger at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, apparently because he thought the man was gay. But then, a group of bystanders, including a man in a cowboy hat, quickly took action to bring the man down, according to the video.
WARNING: The video, and description below, contain some NSFW language.
Before the fight, the man in the cowboy hat tries to intervene.” *

I love that he got taken down by another guy wearing a pink shirt.
karma at it's finest
Poetic justice
Mmhmm
Dude ! Awesome observation 👏
Lmao karma
And people say that gay people are using the gay card under real situations of harassment at the work place. When homophobia is relevant and also still an issue.
Hi i dont know you but i just wanna say i love you lol
Angel Belau why do you think he’s gay?
@Daniel S And your comment is not evil?
Daniel S So it’s ok for you to be selfish? Oh the hypocrisy.
@Irock2190 no, I'm no where near as bad. People like him make the world a worse place to be, and if he had half a heart he'd off himself
That was really cool how citizens jumped in to defend him.
Donald Gryder Yep
+ MoPot
Here's what's really UNcool:
McCleish Christmas Benham of Shelbyville, Tennessee.
$474 fine, NO jail time.
Prior convictions for theft & animal abuse.
Gotta love the American justice system, where violent criminals are allowed to roam free until they actually kill or seriously injure someone.
yeah bruh he ain't going to jail for that and i'd rather not pay for him to be there
Wisdom of the crowd
Yes.
I don't remember ever seeing a straight person abused and threatened like that for being straight. Remind me again why Boston needs a straight pride?
THANK YOU
EXACTLY
Because it triggers derranged fascists
@Devin Brown congratulations on misunderstanding pride.
@Devin Brown there is in a society that frequently sidelines, stereotypes, or "others" you, where you have to really think about your safety before going outside. I've been screamed at for holding another man's hand a lot. Just holding hands. I and many many others gave been told that while someone has no problem with us in principle, that they'd really like to pretend we don't exist. A couple of trans friends have been assaulted more times than I can count. Children are often considered "not ready" to know about LGBTQ+ people, but it's fine to foist expectations that they will be straight and cisgender. Those things are not small. There are a great many more resources you could learn from that are far more articulate than I am. Perhaps you could consider that there might be something more than your internal monologue and beliefs before making assertions.
Real men wear pink shirts.
Cuddletoe Thank you. In medieval times, men wore high heels to show their class status in society.
*****
Exactly.
Agreed
***** Arnt they real men too ?
Apparently that dipshit didn't get the memo.
Homophobia, racism, agesim, sexism and all of this hate for what? NATURE did not intend for everyone to be the same. Everyone do not look the same or love the same we are all different. And that is what make the world a beautiful place. If we all looked the same and if we acted the same than the world would be a BORING place. Can't you see! Diversity is beautiful! Stop the hatred and admire and acknowledge the beauty in this world. Stop turning all of this beauty into something ugly because you can't accept peoples differences
If god wanted everyone to be the same, then there would only be humans, and no animals
@Telimetrico No importa lol xd shut your straight mouth until you learn proper English, thank you.
@@danymedina9074 stfu that was unnecessary and go learn proper grammar.
@@danymedina9074 bish wha-
Well said.
Pink shirt=gay? What decade is this 😂
Katherine Byers gay people made pink GAY duh!!!
Lmao right? 1995 called and it wants it’s bigots back.
Don't you mean century?
Fun fact: there was a time (forgot when, in the early 19s i think) where pink was associated for boys because it is considered a strong and bright colour and blue for girls because it shows calmness and serenity. One day a baby product manufacturer decided to switch the colour and after that we associate the colours differently
Katherine Byers Don't you know??? This is murica being great again...
Little late but imagine being so insecure about your masculinity you'll beat up men wearing pink shirts🤦
Real men wear pink😎
Ikr?
Fr, bro never grew up past middle school 💀
Those workers need to be fired. That is not okay for them to stand there an watch this going on.
Ya
They certainly told him to stop, that his behavior was wrong and called security, but they're not trained to be security themselves.
@@watsonsd1 Yeah, they did what they could to the best of their ability.
It’s not their job technically. Although morally reprehensible sure, they have no legal obligation to intervene.
I was a security guard and the unfortunate thing (or fortunate depending on who is a guard) is that if anything happens, we can’t touch people unless we are directly attacked. Some places even tell you to run instead of fight back.
Basically, you’re not a cop. You don’t have any more authority than the person you’re supposed to be dealing with. You are a liability to the company if you harm someone while working as a security guard. You can and will be fired if you get physical trying to help people.
Very brave police officer... waits for the bad guy to be tackled by a mob before he reacts.
Ashley Montana And then pulls off the good guys
Ashley Montana I agree.. typical ..chicken shit cop should have tazed the punk ,, long before this escalated ..I don't believe in gay living but I will not disrespect another human this way ..
Wiley Ray Eisen uh ..oops tsa agent not a cop ..still bullshit ..should have tazed the punk why pay them?
Wiley Ray Eisen YOU JUST DID..YOUR BORN GAY..UNLESS YOU BELIEVE CHRISTAINS THAT SAY WE'VE DOCUMENTETED IT...BLASTFORMY...THATS IT..SO..WAKE UP...YOUR A DIP SHIT..MAYBE SOMEONE WILL HIT YOU FOR BEING BORN WITHOUT EARS
***** I think he is the one that instigated the whole thing. He could have ignored the guy in pink shirt. He didn't have to attack or insult him. And you have to admit the kick was uncalled for too.
One Security only got involved when citizens took the homophobe down. 🤦♀️
Indeed. TSA ain't exactly top of the heap. They're a sad illusion of security.
Usually the cops are too aggressive. VERY weak action by them!
" he's queer!" I didn't realize a pink shirt made you gay but okay ThEn smh
it does
J Goetz Maybe in your fantasy world but not in the real world.
Not since at least the 90’s
that homophobic guy will learn in jail, the hard way.... get it?
Bobbius Shadow knowing him, he would drop the soap on purpose xD
Jeez wth. Pink has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Pink is just a color, who cares. If i had to associate that color with something, id say breast cancer awareness. I dont get people sometimes. Well, most of the time, haha. Anytime someone says "cause this is 'murica," my blood boils in embarrassment and shame.
You mean "gee whiz"?
I don't get your guys... what does it matter whether pink is a "gay" color or not? The victim could have worn a rainbow flag as a cape and a picture of the village people tatooed on his forhead for all I care. Attacking people for their sexual orientation, perceived, imaginary or real, is a hatecrime.
I would find it much more understandable if the fat guy had attacked the victim for fashion reasons.
I used to have a pink and peach undershirt to a suit and well I looked good in it but I'm not gay.
And he gets taken down by a guy in a shirt 10x louder than the one he was yelling about.
who was in a wheelchair.
@@lucylastic A beautiful cosmic irony!
And the power and presence that man had! He was just like "YOU WANNA TAKE SHIT AND HIT! THEN TASTE THE FLOOR!"
"Cowboy Hat Wearing Bystander"
Keep those titles coming lol
More like the hot pink guy.
I simply don't understand why men are homophobic. I wish more men were homosexual...less competition.
Because the majority of "straight men hating gay men" is derived from their own personal issues with homosexuality (i.e. they are in the closet, they feel shame from some other areas in their life, they have low self esteem in their own sexuality or feel threatened by gay men, etc.).
I totaly agree with you... More gay men = less competition to get women. So why all the hate? Everyone is happy. #dothemath #getoverit
Ikr? It's like Doctor Brennan from Bones said, " It makes no sense for heterosexuals to be intimidated or threatened by homosexuals because they are eliminating themselves in the competition for mates."
Joshua Bassett lol XD. that bones. well we live in a sexist society were gender roles are very prevalent, so for a men to asume a more "feminine" role... some people react with hate because that's what they know.
That.....is the dumbest thing I've ever read
+darklyresplendentone lol
You are never less of a man for standing up for those in need. Be the help others are looking for.
What the hell did the pink shirted guy do to deserve such disgusting treatment?!!
Staggering bigotry.😔
well he may have done something not on the video expect he did
Ian Strange oh my Aunty Em! Aunty Em!
well the video does not show it. so we do not know, but a) someone was already filming him and b) he was filming the guy who attacked him, I don't hear him mention his piink shirt at all. So it is TYT who are all knowing you you mindlessly believe them lilke a brainless idiot.. I don't know everything but I know more then you are I am rational and not full of speculative shit.
Ian Strange he wore a pink shirt
Because he was wearing a PINK shirt i think but
“...it takes a cowboy to bring a homophobe down.” LOVE IT.
The security are cowards.
Geraldine Mole considering even the armed cops stood by until some citizens tackled him before they moved to pile on - it puts the uselessness of the TSA rent-a-cops into perspective. Guess they were waiting for the metro SWAT team to back them up in collaring a loudmouth drunk.
A E I don’t agree with your opinion on women all being cowards but your entitled to your opinion I guess.
Fat woman or not- You're hired for a job and you fail to even attempt to do it- your ass needs to be fired and never hired for that type of job again.
The success rate of the TSA in random checks is super low. It's very clear that they have failed totally as an organization
Gel it's a psychological FACT that women are more agreeable, idk about bigger cowards but they are less likely to cause a confrontation.
Attacking over a shirt? Pink is just a color.
***** The first time I met my future wife I was to wear pink so she could find me in the airport.
Not according to Cadbury, as they wanted to trade mark the color purple, but lost.
***** So are black and white. The unintelligent have trouble understanding this.
aa72on because the unintelligent vote for republicans. That and they think tapioca and mayo tastes good together for some reason. And they can go get ebola for all i care.
***** Fun fact, Pink was a MALE color originally, as pink is a bright and bold color.
How do you draw the assumption that someone is gay because of a pink shirt? I can't stop laughing at this guy.
+Alva Strang does anybody remember that Simpsons episode where homers shirt got dyed Pink after the colurs ran in the wash and he had to were it to work and for that he got grilled and put in the cell with the guy hwo thought he was Micheal jackson (it was him for real who did the voice over for that character but he did not want hes name on the end creds)
+Alva Strang That's true. But even if he was gay...how do you come to the conclusion that you should attack him?
+Alva Strang Exactly. And the TSA are to busy sexually assaulting travelers.
I reckon when they start touching you up just start going Mmmm and oh yeah and start faking an orgasm. That would weird them out.
+Reverend Veritas my dad wears pink and I'm here so.....
The members of the public in The airport did a great job that was not theirs and the police proved a point that the police are a waste of time and space.
The Texan police is even more of a waste of time and space than all the other polices. Remember The Houston Mass Murders, how they handled the dozens of missing boys reports?
Why do people hate pink? It's a fucking awesome color.
Pink, it's my new obsession
Pink, it's not even a question
Pink, on the lips of your lover
'Cause pink is the love you discover
Pink, as the bing on your cherry
Pink, 'cause you are so very
Pink, it's the color of passion
Purple is more my color.
"No way your not doing that shit you motherf-ker!" that guy was awesome he don't put up for bullies, neither do I
He was taken down by a man wearing a cowboy hat, a man wearing a purple shirt, and a black cop, and no one's going to acknowledge the diversity of this intervention team?
8 years later and I’m sure the homophobe still hasn’t come out of the closet.
Isn't that considered a hate crime?
Mark Damiani. yup!
Yes that is definitely a hate crime and he should be prosecuted to the hilt.
Emerald Virden
Freedom of speech does give you the right to be a absolute dirtbag, so sadly, no it isn't.
l guess Dallas Cowboys can tackle after all.

Nice one!👍🏼
cfapps7865 got’em
funny enough, one of the other guys that took him down was also wearing a pink shirt...
RedroomStudios
Haha yea
Virgin homophobic dood vs chad cowboy man
Over 70 yearss ago, boys wore pink and girls wore blue, btw.
You can't fool me. Ik everyone wore black and white that long ago.
John Rice COMMENT OF THE DAY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
in wino veritas YEAH EUROPEANS NOT AFRICANS OR INDIANS.
in wino veritas not true
Kimble Simpson actually yeah, in this country, I believe it was one of the first ladies that popularized pink as a woman's color! Blue was originally the feminine color since it was used to represent the virgin Mary
How can you expect them to deal with that level of aggression when they're too busy confiscating nail clippers and small bottles of shampoo.
Trump's base right there.
Trump protects the LGBT community.
James Corrigan if they're liposucted and dress nicely
James Corrigan bullshit he does
dfasmilll oh so Trump 'ISNT' a racist, homophobe etc
Nah, he's an 'angel', with a halo and golden wings...
ThePatrioteer no
They brought him down so fast oml
Also “oh. there’s a cop” has me wheezing
He wasn't the only guy in a pink shirt The one that gave him a choke hold had Dora The explorer's shirt on too. 😆
Robert Toe 😂😂😂😂
Props to all the guys that took that dude down when he started hitting that old man. You gentlemen are real men.
TheLicktysplitz hw
Especially the guy with the wheelchair.
No they aren't. Real men would have stopped the verbal assault not stand there and do nothing ALLOWING it to rise to the point of a physical altercation. It's like arresting and releasing a teen to his parents after finding out he made threats to shoot up a school and then weeks later having to come back to the school and disarm him after he killed 10 students. The comparison is that it all could have prevented due to the obvious signs that it would escalate if not stopped. They should have stepped enough when he was being verbally abusive, not just stand there and watch.
I once in kindergarten shoved a girl because I wanted her attention. Love makes people do crazy things.
Yeah I shanked a guy because I thought he was cute
***** I know right!
A pink shirt! REALLY?! I wear pink shirts and T-shirts and I get loads of nice compliments. AND I'M NOT EVEN GAY!
It's as if that guy feels that just having a gay guy in the same line is a strike at his "Manliness" and he needs to fight the guy to keep his "Manliness" in tact.
If you really feel that way strongly, fine, hate the practice not the people! DISCREETLY!
+Cameron Davies Well, probably, being straight helps there. If you're gay and wear a pink shirt, all of a sudden -in the minds of these ignorant fools- you're making a statement, making propaganda for "the gay lifestyle"
I've been harassed for just saying I found some guy handsome. Suddenly I was being "all in their face with my sexuality, of course it's okay to be gay, but you don't have to keep confronting people with it." Of course, if you're straight and say a girl is beautiful, that's a whole different issue... The rules are not the same for stright or LGBT people. We've still got a long way to go.
There are a million straight people that wear pink. I don't see why people are so stupid to even assume that a person wearing a pink shirt is gay.
Wow I counted 6 employees on camera who could have done something but did nothing. As we know they were everywhere, but these 6 heard the conversation. What airport was This?
Also love the fuks you give (say) in this vid.
The guy is obviously drunk and violent. Is the overweight airline employee supposed to slap him for talking shit or something? Whole bunch of people on this youtube channel that have zero understanding of violence.
@Summit X for your knowledge it isn't. Verbal attacks are just that- verbal. Words aren't violence.
The trouble maker's name is McCleish Christmas Benham. He walked away from the whole incident with a $474 fine and no jail time.
+Bfdidc not like he was black
+Bfdidc Who wouldnt be angry with a name like that?
I love you for this information
His middle name is Christmas? Were his parts shooting up in the delivery room?
"if I have pot in my nut sack" IVE BEEN LAUGHING FOR 3 MINUTES STRAIGHT
JBubuD yours has a zipper? Mine doesn't open. Sigh
That was fuckin hilarious
I'm still laughing! Lol
Lol!!!
@Lionel Switch Wrong. There are several states that will convict you for assault and battery or more regardless of the circumstances.
Well enjoy the hate crime charge......
nope he got a fine and no jail time.
If this is true and as is told in the story; that's messed up. Somebody must be looking out for him......
Ch3k420 Ehhh...have u confirmed that though! How I understand the laws in my town,...so could be different wherever this was...but an arrest would most definitely took place...NO doubt about it!!--Charges: (possibly) public intoxication, lude behavior/disturbing the peace, assault/aggravated assault, and (possibly) hate crime! All while in a "airport" lol! Sooo in closing...I'm not a gambling man, but I'm willing to bet big money that he did some jail time!!!
In this Dim witted Administration with that racist Elf Sessions around ?
At an airport, smart guy,
That man just came out of a bathroom hook up, now he is tortured by his feelings.
yeah and the gays wouldnt even suck his shrimpee
Its wearing pink on Wednesday. Obviously this guy has never watched Mean Girls.
Cop is the last one to the pile!
Just another day in the life of Trump's Brave New World! 😑
This was before Donald Trump, moron.
How bout u look at the date
Trump will pay for his legal fees.
+Ya Fr lmao
the check would bounce
Wow. That airport security is truly a fucking joke -_-
Exactly... What a total WASTE of money.
Those so-called "airport employees" who stood by and waited until innocent bystanders stepped in should all be FIRED... End of story.
They are a disgrace, not only to the airport as a business institution, but to the entire nation itself.
Naomi Cruz SECURITY!!!! - Screams the Security... D; We're in trouble now.
But clearly racism does not exist anymore in this country...
What the fuck does this have to do with racism
The last quote: "Let me tell you the reason why I did it: Because this is America, that's why. The same reason you get to live and breathe and *walk black*."
Granted, it could be interpreted differently. But what I don't get in that circumstance is why race was even brought up if he wasn't extremely bigoted towards black people and obviously bigoted towards homosexuals.
Racism will always exist, and will probably get worse now with more and more multicultural integration and economic instability.
Ansgar Feicht Multiculturalism and economic instability are not causative of each other. Go travel the world, to Singapore, Malaysia.
Busy going through a two years old's diaper. ..lol

Nick Coltrane Ha, ha. That is exactly what I thought too. Fucking perfect.
John Raymond And somewhere there's probably a kid doing a facepalm going " God dammit Dad "
LOL.
theblackrosedaughter
Lolol
if he was black he would have been shot before he got his jacket off, he should consider himself lucky.
The assailant was prejudiced ... against men who wear pink shirts in public.
lol - so he's prejudiced against 1/3rd of the [straight] Mexican immigrants in Lubbock.
Or perhaps against Homer Simpson, because in one episode his white dress shirt had turned pink after it was accidentally washed with red clothes in the laundry machine.
You see officials or security just walking casually by - some people are apathetic.
At this point it's not even apathy, just straight up ignorance.
Irony another guy in a pink shirt brought him down the most lol.
First off, that word "homophobe" really has to go, because it sounds childish and stupid (no wonder it's a favorite word for Ana.) "Homophobe" merely implies fear of gays. The words applicable here are *bigot* and *cowardly thug*, plain and simple. This man's problem is a deep-seated *hatred* (not just fear) of gays and deep-seated cowardice that drives him to act violently against those that he's sure he can overpower, like the smaller person he attacked in this video. He's simply the filth and embarrassment of humanity, and it's only logically obvious that his hatred goes far beyond just gays.
Can you prove he ISN'T afraid of homosexuals?
"Phobia" has a non-clinical usage of describing prejudice, discrimination, and hatred. This should be doubly obvious given the existence of terms like 'xenophobia.' Do yourself a favor and stop playing pointless semantics games, especially since homophobes keep trying to claim they don't 'fear' gay people to try to wash their hands of being labeled for their bigotry without doing anything to change that bigotry.
They should just be called "closets".
SeanTheOriginal Can I prove that *you* are *not* afraid of homosexuals? Does that mean that you are? Can I prove that you are *not* anything that I feel like accusing you of? Does that mean that you are? Are you honestly this goddamn stupid? My point is not that he isn't afraid of homosexuals. My point is that his problem is far *worse* than just fear.
Shazam
Sean is right, you do not have proof
If it was a non-white person... Just imagine the comments.
Boo. Boooo this irrelevant comment. Booooo.
+Bertrand Jean Such a stupid ass, irrelevant thing to say.
+Robert E ^^^ that's a great example of what the comments would be like lol....
+Bertrand Jean
Aww yes, take an issue of homophobia and try to make it into a racist white people thing. Nice.
+Bertrand Jean Absolutely!
Donald trump voter.
really?...so all conservatives are homophobic. Just like all liberals are lazy and want government money. Your comment is inappropriate and immature.
Homeschool Ramblings No, you've made an incorrect leap of logic. Saying this homophobe voted for Trump doesn't mean all people who voted for Trump are homophobes... Kinda like "just because you voted for Trump doesn't mean you're a racist, but if you are a racist you probably voted for Trump..." You taking offense to this comment is inappropriate and immature (because the person is probably right, if this idiot even bothered to vote at all...)
Homeschool Ramblings Yeah, I agree with the first comment. If you havent noticed lots of Trump staff and voters are not in favour of equality. Sad
Mario l you realize Hillary Clinton lied about the murder of Americans for politcal gain and to hide the fact that she ignored their cries for more help. Not to mention the democratic party was founded to oppress minorities lol. Or that the Republican party had the first minority representatives in it.
Awertonas you probably dont even talk to them just get an opinion from what you see on the internet lol.
i saw that dude at a Trump rally
You went to a Trump rally? XD
he should have hit the shit packer before all the other stuff started he was agging it on
+Donald Gryder Before what other stuff? He hit the man then he was pinned down
Jet Andrade yup! SAW HIM THERE TO protesting with the other Hillary Supporters!
The real tragedy is that there are more humans like this guy out there.
The guy who kicked him seems like most of the people on youtube, angry for no reason not normal and not too bright.
well said
He has to also be completely dumb with all the security watching what did he think would happen after he did that.
As opposed to the raging asshole who started bitching in public?
ScottTheAngel
.You are thinking of Twitter.
Are you 'NORMAL' ScottTheAngel?
Normal people scare me!
Cops doing nothing to help the victim(s) but steps in when the people do their jobs for them.
Hm.
Also unreal that Armed Cops were within ten feet of him - and he STILL started a fight!
Not unreal. Government won't save you, and progressive quota hiring of women and others who can't do the work they were hired for doesn't help the problem.
It is getting more dangerous to be outwardly queer than it has been in decades - there is a tolerance of intolerance and a blind eye turned everywhere , thankfully there are others who will still step in .
Shmarm 2001 it seems less dangerous
Ethan Hamto maybe it looks that way, but I personally was attacked mugged and beaten severely by a group of young immigrant men, I think it was because I am gay and I know of several other attacks that were obviously gay bashing like I haven't heard about since the 60s. (Usually perpetrators were not born in Canada) I know more then a few gay men who came to Canada with their familys recently and now that they are out they aren't safe from their own family. In some ways and in some places it's way better then the 60s but it's way less safe than 10 or 20 years ago .
I meet a little old lady in Florida a few months ago and she surprised me by bringing it up in conversation. She has friends in Toronto and was worried for me and my boyfriend.
It seems to me from personal experience it's way less safe.
Shmarm 2001 hasn't it always been less safe. Their just wasn't as much media coverage back then.
Ethan Hamto my personal experience has shown me otherwise not the media
I'm guessing you're a religious person-
Your average right wing voter right there.
$50 says the dude hailed form tennasee and only acted so overtly antagonistic to the guy he called "faggot" because of that republican passed law about being allwoed to bully gays if it's a deeply held religious beleif:P
Nope, the average right wing voter ensures there is no cameras on them first and no evidence (;
Expressing homophobia gives a person away as having homosexual tendencies and not being able to deal with them.
Infuriating as hell.
Not as infuriating as the outcome:
McCleish Christmas Benham of Shelbyville, Tennessee.
$474 fine, NO jail time.
Prior convictions for theft & animal abuse.
Gotta love the American justice system, where violent criminals are allowed to roam free until they actually kill or seriously injure someone.
clearest form of hate crime. Attacking someone because they are gay.
wow i didnt know colors had a sexuality
How did you not know that, honestly it's pretty obvious. Blue is male, or female depending on the time period, pink is female, or male also depending on the time period, red is probably male but possibly nobody cares. Purple is also female probably. Green, male. Every other colour is gender fluid. Pretty simple.
+Cameron Hampton Yeah it does. When a baby is born the boy gets blue or the girl gets pink. Simple.
Cameron Hampton There you go. Color identifies your sexuality.
ALEX Jime I sexually identify as beige
ALEX Jime I'm straight as shit and my favorite color is purple. If seeing a dude in a pink shirt makes you want to attack them because you think it's gay then you should start wondering why seeing a gay guy has you so uncomfortable.
I used to play in a band and occassionally we would gig at a gay bar, and dudes would hit on me, and you know what? I didn't get irrationally upset about it. I didn't attack them. I was flattered that they were attracted to me but not interested in doing anything with them. So I'd say, "oh thanks, but you don't need to buy me a drink, I'm straight".
And the world kept turning and I didn't worry that I'd become gay. I'm not sexually attracted to dudes and so if a guy offers to buy me a drink or says I've got beautiful eyes that's fine.
You've got to have SERIOUS issues with your own sexual identity (and I'm not even saying homophobe is secretly a gay self loather). But something, somewhere, is REALLY fucked up if you can't see a dude in a pink shirt and not freak out.
"What do u think i am a bitch?" Tears..nothing but tears of pure joy. That accent completed it.
Even as a straight guy, I think it's wrong for any homophobes to attack gays. I have best friends who are gay, and I will always stick up for them, even if it means I have to swing in their defense.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I've ever heard of women attacking lesbians.
Second pink shirt to thee rescue....
When in doubt Pinky Out
Billy Bees lol
Billy Bees 🤣🤣🤣❤
IRONMAN000 Was more of a hot purple but yeah, the homophobe winds up mounted on top of and embraced by the second guy in a questionable shirt. Priceless. Lol
IRONMAN000 NOTE HE WOULD SAY anything TO THE BIGGER GUY IN THE PINK SHIRT.
Like the school guard who ran away from the shooter.
paxwallacejazz if it's the one I'm thinking of it was actually a cop, a school resource officer unless security is the resource needed.
that was a cop which makes it even worse.
The police could have taken him into custody any time for disturbing the peace. But they waited, even when he struck another person. I hope the courts are not so lenient. This guy was too drunk to drive, how did he get to the airport?
Exactly...! I couldn't have said it better myself. If cops are paid to "protect and serve"... Why did they wait for a group of bystanders to step in and prevent a hate crime from taking place?
The airport cops could have acted WAY sooner. But of course, they didn't... Because if it isn't a bomb or an assignment from Top Brass, they'll just let someone else handle it...... Police work at its finest. It's the same in every state.
The assault on the guy with the pink shirt would never of happened if the security and the police were doing their job.
You would think seeing an aggressive man like that harassing someone in the middle of an airport for wearing a pink shirt, causing a massive scene like that would get security and the police involved pretty quickly to end the conflict.
I tip my hat to the folks who jumped in.
Do most trolls realise that they are screaming "I'm a virgin, who will never have a girlfriend!" over the internet?
Obviously, homophobia is normal in Texas.
I'm sure that homophobia is normal everywere.
Just because a bloke is wearing an outfit were just his top or short's is pink dose not necessarily mean that he's gay, i have a par of shorts that are pink & a t-shirt that is allso pink (they are dark pink & i dont wear them together) & i'm strait. People like him do not yet realise that there's men out there that are not gay that like wearing pink, there's allso been known to be strait men out there that wear hair dye with there long hair, eyeliner & nail polish.
Serino Modica I agree. Homophobia is probably felt everywhere, some places feel it more extreme than others. I also like the color pink. I think it looks good on both men and women.
I have been bullied a few time's before for wearing pink only by men in car's as they drive past, non of them have become hostile toward's me before.
Serino Modica That's insane. I am sorry that happened.
Tangerine Farmer Its o.k. it dose not bother me anyway i just look at them & give them a wave like as if they are friend's then i just look away, they wont be happy with me doing that because they will know that they are not getting to me.
If I were the guy in the pink shirt, I would avoid being close to the drunk guy. Don't further approach him when he walks away.
Avoid escalating the situation and putting yourself at physical risk of harm.
TSA has never done anything to demonstrate that they know what they are doing.
That female TSA person that doesn't do anything looks a lot like my supervisor at work...and I work in security haha.
+iceberg265 - but, is she that ... large?
security would be guns blazing if a black guy raised his voice. bang, bang, bang
You guys are great! And so were those fantastic people helping that man!
And no one approached the guy to say "oy, calm down, sir. Do not start an altercation"? I mean, until he kicked the poor dude there wasn't really much they could "do" to him legally (You can't arrest someone for saying mean things), but at the very least, make the drunk asshole realize that he's being watched and that he will be arrested if he starts a fight. -_-
what planet do you live on? Ofcouse they can arrest you for saying stuff at the air port. If I make a joke about a bomb I be arrested right on the spot.
If this guy was middle eastern and causing a scene, TSA would of swarmed that guy.
TentaclePentacle Saying you have a bomb in an airport isnt the same as calling someone a name.
Well, on one hand, saying hateful things != bomb joke...
But on the other hand yeah, if the guy had been anything other than a white guy (or asian) it's likely TSA would have pounced on the guy much much quicker.
witchy90210
I don't even have to say I have a bomb, I could say "you know there could be bombs on planes". That would be enough to arrest me.
TentaclePentacle That cuz they could be "Why is this guy saying there could be bombs on the plane. MAybe he knows there are bombs on the plane"
Hate to be that guy, but TSA is not paid to wrestle drunk people to the floor. That's what the police are there to do.
Correct. Plus, being a loud, outspoken drunkard is something we are allowed to be if we fancy it. Once you assault someone, however, you can be handcuffed and arrested and taken away. That is why nobody did anything; he had not done anything.
Did you breathalyzer him, did they ? How can you prove he was drunk and not just a idiot?
Your all absolutely right, the TSA failed to detain him on grounds of endangering airport security (their job), then turn him over to local police to subsequently issue a breathalyser test if public drunkenness was suspected. Charlie M Winston, Your the most correct of all, administering an IQ test to the guy might also be warranted here. ;-)
Fresno4runner they should have asked him how he spelt his name Bitch
The TSA doesn't detain people. They contact the airport police, and the police do that. The proper action of a TSA employee or an airline employee, would be to call for a LEO to handle the situation.
This was a classic security response by institutions that spend millions on the subject matter. Not only did security fail, in other situations the crowd itself can use excessive force on the perpetrator which is why billions are spent in part on security. The purpose to create a safe environment for everyone including those who have to exercise self-help measures. Wonderful video.
“It takes a cowboy” My new motto
Sadly, this is about what I'd expect in the D/FW airport. I guess after 24 years living here, I should just call myself a Texan. Okay: "We" -- _sigh_ -- tend to wait and see what happens, but once the shit goes down, we all pile on. It's more of a "football" culture than a "cowboy" culture, really. --
A guy can be drunk and belligerent and mouth off . . . but a kick to the nuts is crossing the line. A lot of us really AREN'T tolerant of hate crimes.
One would think that in a presumably secure airport setting, being drunk, disorderly and throwing their jackets on the floor would result in security taking the person in question aside.
if he was black they would have arrested him before his coat came off.
Onlythetruth setsyoufree
So true
I just love how one of the guys who took him down was wearing a hot pink shirt.
That dudes hillbilly accent says everything about him
He was from TN. He died this past January at 33. Obviously a troubled human being.
Marcus Jones yep
The most amazing part of this is that it wasn't shot in @#$%ing vertical video.
Female security was saying she's going for coffee and call me when the shit is over. No lol because it is so sad
Dallas Texas eh? I'm surprised they didn't arrest the guy in the pink shirt.
Mr. Cowboy and company, thank you very much for standing up for a fellow human being in need. Regardless of race, religion, gender, or orientation. Thanks ❤There is still hope for a good world.
Where IS that bloody form for the finger-nail clipper confiscation?!
proud To be a Texan.
not all but most here will step in to help someone being attacked.
it's just the Cowboy way..
UGH, ..I don't want to be that guy, but I liked TYT, they're just rubbing me the wrong way these days. Being loud isn't against the law, being homophobic isn't against the law. No one knew it would become violent, and they likely just gave the guy his distance. The guy in the pink was recording also and not only was he recording, he followed the obvious drunk guy over to the cowboy as if that would resolve the situation.
Not excusing his homophobia, but honestly...get your damn cameras out of people faces. It always turns violent .
I wish the panelist on TYT didn't have their own shows now, because I feel that they're always on a soap box and always louder than they have to be, and turning everything into hyperbole.
"Being loud isn't against the law,..."
Being drunk in public is.
GothicIntellect BrotherAlpha fair enough, but you see this often where people start pointing cameras in other peoples faces, it incites violence where walking away is more advisable. He was clearly drunk, I think most peoples reaction is to back away from drunk people... It comes off that I'm defending the asshole, but I'm really just annoyed with my new media news sources lately. "The fame" has gone to their heads.
I don't believe the TSA are suppose to respond to irritate people, but instead call in the actual cops, who were there at the end of the incident. Unknown if they were already at the scene, because he showed up off screen.
People's reactions change when people become violent. The Cowboy turned away from the guy initially, he wanted no part in what he was saying...until the drunk guy hit him, at which point every bystander within leaping distance reacted.
Being loud isn't against the law but being rowdy in an airport is more than enough to have a TSA agent at least step in and attempt to defuse the situation which was clearly not under control at the time. When TSA jumps on people for the smallest of things, something like this should not be ignored.
GothicIntellect you do know exactly where the officer was at the incident. Just because someone is being annoying doesn't mean it's going to get violent. People behave like that all the time and it doesn't end in violence. People are just bashing cops regardless of what they do...
The guy was out of control before he even swong. He was behaving irrationally which is why someone outside wheelchair dude and cowboy should have stepped in. The guy in wheelchair diving to help tackle drunk dude was so weird.
This is why I don't go anywhere without my firearm. Nor do I trust "authority types" to protect me and mine.
I love all the nice people in this video, especially the cowboy aha
