A mentally challenged passenger yelled "heil Hitler" while holding a Nazi salute and called for a race war before he was arrested at the airport.
Ahead of his flight from Seattle to Dallas, a man yelled, "Heil Hilter!" He said there would be a race war in the gate area.
His antics were captured on video and posted to his social media accounts.
I like how the American Airlines agent calmly picks up his walkie-talkie and calls in the issue. It is not possible to engage people like that directly.
He resisted arrest and was filmed screaming as he was being held down by police officers.

It's all sad. It's hard to tell if someone is driven to seek attention or a true believer in Neo Nazism. This guy sounds like a tragic amalgam of hate and indecency.
He asked if free speech rights were gone in America. They are not, but you are free to say whatever you want. When he calls for violence in a crowded gate area, that goes beyond speech and is grounds for his arrest.
I hope the court orders him to seek help for his mental challenges so that he can follow through.
Maybe he was asked to check his bag because he was in Basic Economy on American Airlines? All of the good character condemns his lunacy.
There is a view from the wing.
