The Wages of Woke

A couple years back, a lunatic began attempting to pull open the doors of an airplane in flight. Which would have killed everyone aboard.

Fortunately it takes an enormous amount of strength to open those doors due to pressure differentials. And the lock, of course.

But she tried. Oh did she try.

The aircrew eventually subdued her and duct-taped her into her chair.

They duct-taped her mouth, too.

She has the expected SJW Mental-Illness Danger Hair, of course.

Now the FAA has hit her with a fine for $80,000+.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is suing an apparently unhinged American Airlines passenger who created a chaotic scene while attempting to open the front cabin door mid-flight and forcing flight attendants to duct tape her to a seat.
Heather Wells of San Antonio, 34, bit, kicked and spat at staff and fellow passengers about an hour into a July 6, 2021, flight from Dallas to Charlotte, North Carolina. The plane had been delayed about three hours before it finally departed at midnight, Fox News Digital previously reported.
In viral footage of the incident posted by TikTok user @lol.ariee, the gray-haired woman could be heard screaming "You! You! You!" as passengers exited American Airlines Flight 1774 and flight attendants calmly nodded their goodbyes.
In 2022, the FAA fined Wells a record $81,950 in civil penalties, Business Insider reported. Now, U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza has filed a lawsuit on the FAA's behalf in San Antonio seeking to collect that money, per the San Antonio Express.
According to the lawsuit filed on June 6, Wells "wanted out" after drinking a neat Jack Daniel's, running to the front of the plane and grabbing the handle of the front cabin door.
She began "talking incoherently with passengers, before crawling back toward the main cabin," and threatened an intervening flight attendant. Wells went for the front door again while yelling profanities before two more stewards restrained her.
Before she was restrained using flex cuffs, per the lawsuit reviewed by the San Antonio Express, Wells managed to strike one attendant in the head several times.
...
Flight attendants gagged Wells in an attempt to stop her screaming outbursts. Even while bound and gagged, Wells continued to "kick and spit and attempted to bite and head-butt a flight attendant and passengers," the lawsuit reads.

Unbelievably, it appears that no actual criminal charges have been filed against her.

I guess some people who belong to social groups that support the Regime are just above the law.

Below: This is your brain on leftwing grievance politics with maybe some Gender Ideology peppered in for flavor.

Ex-Googler: Google refuses to implement a "Scenic route" feature in its Mapsfunction, because they don't want to stigmatize urban blight as non-scenic.

A former Google Maps UX researcher has revealed the company's decision not to add a "scenic route" feature due to concerns over bias favoring high-income areas.
Key Details:
Researcher's Revelation: Kasey Klimes, a former Senior UX Researcher at Google, explained that introducing "scenic" options in Google Maps could bias the app towards wealthier areas, potentially harming lower-income communities.
Corporate Caution: Klimes deleted his X/Twitter thread discussing these insights and locked his account, leading to speculation about Google's involvement and concerns over the spread of sensitive information.
Competitive Landscape: As Google hesitates on new features over DEI concerns, Apple advances its Maps app with hiking-focused enhancements, including downloadable trails and offline navigation for U.S. National Parks.

So what you're saying is that you're protecting wealthy areas from unwanted outsiders, and jamming minority neighborhoods with traffic.

Nice.

Speaking of white supremacy and quiet neighborhoods, Via David Strom alerts us to an Atlantic queef of an article, which instructs us that wanting your neighborhood to be peaceful and quiet -- so that people can sleep at night and children can be well-rested for school and adults refreshed for productive work -- is white supremacy.

I remember, the summer before I left for college, lying close to my bedroom box fan, taking it all in. Thanks to a partial scholarship (and a ton of loans), I was on my way to an Ivy League college. I was counting down the days, eager to ditch the concrete sidewalks and my family's cramped railroad apartment and to start living life on my own terms, against a backdrop of lush, manicured lawns and stately architecture.
I didn't yet know that you don't live on an Ivy League campus. You reside on one. Living is loud and messy, but residing? Residing is quiet business.
I first arrived on campus for the minority-student orientation. The welcome event had the feel of a block party, Blahzay Blahzay blasting on a boom box. (It was the '90s.) We spent those first few nights convening in one another's rooms, gossiping and dancing until late. We were learning to find some comfort in this new place, and with one another.
Then the other students arrived--the white students. The first day of classes was marked by such gloriously WASPy pomp that it made my young, aspirational heart leap....

I just hadn't counted on everything that followed being so quiet. The hush crept up on me at first. I would be hanging out with my friends from orientation when one of our new roommates would start ostentatiously readying themselves for bed at a surprisingly early hour. Hints would be taken, eyes would be rolled, and we'd call it a night.

It's almost as if this Sinister White Sleep-Seeker wanted to achieve academically or something.

One day, when I accidentally sat down to study in the library's Absolutely Quiet Room, fellow students Shhh-ed me into shame for putting on my Discman. With rare exceptions--like Saturday nights during rush--silence blanketed the campus.

Oh, you went to the Absolutely Quiet Room and then played music out of the tinny speakers of your Discman so that everyone was forced to adapt to your lenient standards of Absolute Quite? Wow, that's like a hate crime.

Are you okay? Should I get you a cold compress?

I soon realized that silence was more than the absence of noise; it was an aesthetic to be revered. Yet it was an aesthetic at odds with who I was. Who a lot of us were.

Yes, I'm unfortunately well-acquainted with this aesthetic rolling down my street with speakers turned up to 11 at 3am on worknights.

Within a few weeks, the comfort that I and many of my fellow minority students had felt during those early cacophonous days had been eroded, one chastisement at a time. The passive-aggressive signals to wind our gatherings down were replaced by point-blank requests to make less noise, have less fun, do our living somewhere else, even though these rooms belonged to us, too. A boisterous conversation would lead to a classmate knocking on the door with a "Please quiet down." A laugh that went a bit too loud or long in a computer cluster would be met with an admonishment.
In those moments, I felt hot with shame and anger, yet unable to articulate why. It took me years to understand that, in demanding my friends and I quiet down, these students were implying that their comfort superseded our joy. And in acquiescing, I accepted that.

Woke kills:

One reason the UCLA whistleblowers came forward is that their medical students couldn’t perform basic lab tests—the kind that that might be used to diagnosis life-threatening conditions like, well, sepsis. https://t.co/4ftcZK1ocu pic.twitter.com/8A9tRpZZ7n

I honestly do not understand the "Trump will fuck up everything!" stuff anymore.

Trump is so fucking incompetent that not only is he leading in the nationals polls and every swing state he is now putting states like VA and ever frigging NY in play. The RNC, which is now Trump adjacent, just cornholed the DNC in May fundraising. By every report including the leftwing media Trump is getting record amount of minority votes and is even starting to crack suburban women votes. Even Silicon Valley tech billionaires are throwing in with Trump. Something really historic is happening that is transcending traditional voting patterns.

And he's done this largely on his own with the deck stacked completely against him and beating his own party apparatus. If we had a real media this would be a news story reported in bold type 7 x 24. He has beaten their lawfare on top of everything else.

Trump is winning huge. The naysayers were wrong. The only way they beat him is by massive cheating or taking him out.

It's OK for us to win and be happy.

Biden issued an executive order a few days ago intended to counteract the Court's decision today that Americans did not have a Constitutional right to import their foreign spouses, so it seems obvious that someone associated with the Court is leaking decisions to the White House in advance of the release of the decisions.

An Uber driver is being held in a Thurston County, Washington jail on suspicion of kidnapping and raping an intoxicated female passenger. Ahmed Hassan Ali, 58, had his bail set at $100,000 as the court decides how to proceed with charges.

Ali was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly taking the victim to a rural area and proceeding to sexually assault her in the back seat. The victim’s father and other relatives were able to track her down via her phone, and after rescuing her, proceeded to beat Ali up.

"as the court decides how to proceed with charges." I figure that means how they are going to charge the victim's relatives for beating up the driver.

219 >>They really don't.

They really do which is why the periods of human progress are so astounding.

Your timeline is too short and your view of progress is too stunted. I'm talking to you and right now you could be anywhere on the planet. I live in my own house on property I own and I have the means to defend my property.

I buy what I want and nobody stops me. I travel freely around my country and have traveled around much of the world without issue.

I have access to more information at the touch of my keyboard than any generation in history. None of this came from tyranny. It came from free people.

Yes, the forces of tyranny are always trying to chip away and tax and take but that is largely our fault for letting them get this far. We aren't powerless to fight back. We won't always win, we won't always lose. But we will win in the end.

I think your timeline is too short. (It's actually the perfect length, but I'm rolling). The advancement of liberty is a painfully recent phenomenon, marred by the crooked ideologies of 19th c. Continental Europe, but still alive none the less. The two forks of Liberty were enlightened Liberalism and anti-imperialist collectivism. We just happen to be plunked in a moment when the forces of dehumanizing collectivism are overplaying their hand and making a global mockery of themselves. We very well might be standing on the precipice of a real victory of the forces of Liberalism over the forces of collectivism, now that monarchism and imperialism are thoroughly dead.

I'm very optimistic in that strange "the worse, the better" sort of way. Sifting the stories of what The People are actually doing out from the stories of what they want us to think people are doing, the future is starting to look pretty rosy.

That's not the norm. That's not what Humans do by default. It's pretty amazing, though.

I usually am more positive, but I am starting if the foundation everything would be rebuilt on is dead. Rome pulled itself back from many crises in its time, until finally it didn't.

My new neighbors. I can hear them talk 3 rooms away. When they shut the car door my windows rattle, at first thought, it was a car wreck. And friends, they've got so many friends the one's coming must wait for the one's leaving to back out of the driveway.

Rome collapsed. Romans survived.

America may collapse. Americans will survive.

I'm almost getting to the point where i could believe that a lot of our problems evaporate in a matter of months once the populace at large finally hits that tipping point where the gaslighting is pierced and a sufficient plurality begins saying "No".

What is the source of this junta's power? Enough people have tolerable enough lives that they can tough it out and ignore the insane mechanically separated news product that gets pumped into the general consciousness. That's starting to change though. High gas prices are a bitch, but it happens. Your husband getting laid off is a disaster, but that's life. Your neice getting her tits cut off in early puberty by creepy cultist "doctors" is not something you can grok as "just part of life". The nice little kid next door getting raped and murdered by some salvadoreño you've never even seen in town before is not something you can brush away as just another event.

232 I suppose we're really not on the right side of History. But history is a ass, and the right side of history is enslavement and barbarism.

The collectivists are on the right side of History. They want to poison human interaction. They want to blunt human progress.

Recent years have been a life action reenactment of that tacky old commercial. "This is your society. This is your society on dehumanizing collectivism. Any questions?"

Pfft.

We are blasting rockets into space on a weekly basis.

The world has never been more enlightened.

We are temporarily fighting a godless totalitarian regime for like the only time in history other than always.

239 IRL, I am a retired airline pilot and I am very surprised that the FAA is ignoring what this crew did here.

Yes--someone who attempts to open the door of an airborne airplane or who otherwise endangers passengers and crew can and should be restrained. If you're going to use duct tape for the restraint, then fine, use duct tape.

But never, ever duct tape someone, for any reason into a seat. You have to assume that an evacuation due to an emergency is in your future, and someone duct taped to a seat is going to be left behind. The airline, crew and any assisting passengers open themselves to huge liability by doing this.
