I can’t remove the video from showing.

A New Jersey man was on a flight traveling from Atlanta to Newark on June 4, 2026, while wearing a T-shirt that said, "Bombing kids is not self defense."

It may just be because it has the word bomb. It could be unrelated to the political view.

We know its COMPLETELY about the political view and the Drump regime, but I could see in a different timeline how this would still not fly. Heh.

The only people that get offended by this are the ones bombing kids and I don’t care about their selective outrage at all.

I’m very surprised they didn’t kick him off.

You can’t bring a shirt that says bomb on an airplane, Greg

Edit: oh, he wasn’t kicked off because he changed shirts

Edit 2: wtf, no. The rule says it was offensive? So it isn’t because the word “bomb” is in the shirt. It must be a pro Genocide policy. Wow, they’ve given up on Hazbarah PR. Gloves off pro-genocide corporate policy. Yikes.

United has the right to deny transport to passengers who are “not properly clothed, or whose clothing is lewd, obscene or offensive.”
