OBJ in and out of consciousness, kicked off flight

[Gangsta Spanksta]

If it were illicit drugs, the police most likely would have arrested him. Not necessarily for being on drugs, but for being on drugs and being "disorderly". It seems unlikely they just say, "Well, you caused big problems with that flight, but go ahead and make different arrangements to get where you're going."

I'm sure it is something innocent, like a run in with a kicking net before takeoff...

Apparently it's not on OBJ

Could be, but possibly not. We like to jump to conclusions without all the evidence either way. I think we've got some fans still trying to book Kelvin Joseph for murder. Let's see how it plays out.

If you watch the footage of him being escorted through the airport he has a steady gait, doesn't appear like someone who was under the influence to the extent he'd be in and out of consciousness.

Forcing us off the plane because you were unresponsive and unruly is not comedy to the hundreds of folks trying to get home dude. Not cool man.

JBS posted this elsewhere, but it deserves its own thread.

Still want him?

I don't care about this airplane nonsense.

I want to know who gave him a physical? And what has he been doing for rehab.

Sounds like there is a good chance he's still on narcotics.. for pain.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Chances are they did not even know who he was

His name is on the boarding pass.

His name is on the boarding pass.

After he boards no one knows who he is He is just a number

 

[Captain-Crash]

yeah if the pos can't follow simple instructions he will do great here. "I don't care if he throws a baby from a building, how's the leg?"
His sleeping is more important that those losers on the plane.

Dude's an idiot

...and last season they were 12-5 and 1 and done in the playoffs......and haven't done crap in 27+ years....so why think an 8-3 record now means anything?

Because the team looks better this year than last….

 

[Captain-Crash]

lmao, like his lawyer will say, "my client is an idiot who thinks he's more important than other people."

his lawyer's comment got us good. smh says nobody.

If nothing else, airline staff talks. They were talking about him the moment he checked in to get his pass.

Idk bc the other side of the story doesn't make sense. The idea that the flight attendant or whoever it was having a power trip checks out a lot better. Also don't believe *people who were on the plane* on twitter. Can we actually verify 1. these people were on the plane and 2. are they being honest about what happened? Bc the video of him being escorted off the plane doesn't make it look like he was under the influence of anything. Also me thinks if he was on drugs he would have likely been arrested at that point. It's also interesting to me that they didn't put him on a no fly list either, but instead just made other arrangements according to what I read. So he wasn't unruly, seems like he got agitated for good reason. But who actually knows what really went down.

 

[Captain-Crash]

heck yeah, they shouldn't have bothered the superstar, don't they know he's important? heck seat belts are for peasants.

Boy howdy, he'd fit right in.

Were you there?

 

[Creeper]

I have seen similar situations on flights a few times in my life and every time the flight attendant woke the passenger to check is his/her seatbelt was fastened. I find it hard to believe they kicked him off the plane because he was just sleeping when they went to check his seatbelt. I will not speculate on what really happened, but the story OBJ's lawyer is telling sounds fishy to me.

 

[EPL0c0]

He was never coming here in the first place. So it doesn’t matter.

every big time FA uses Dallas as leverage to get a better deal elsewhere...

Typically, when you get conflicting stories as to what happened, the real truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Now, I'm just speculating here, but we all run into jerks now and then. The majority of us have the common sense and the diplomatic ability to avoid escalation of a situation. Often, we see that both parties had a part in the situation getting out of hand and we find a way to diffuse it. That's because we are not jerks.

But what happens when a jerk meets another jerk?

No matter the eventual outcome, OBJ played his part in the drama. He may not be guilty per se, but the situation was not entirely one-sided as each story indicates.
