Yisroel Liebb of New Jersey claims pilot broke lock and pulled him out with his pants down, leaving him exposed
Summary
Orthodox Jewish passenger Yisroel Liebb filed a federal lawsuit claiming a United Airlines pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom during a January 2024 flight from Tulum to Houston, exposing his genitalia to passengers.
Liebb said he was experiencing constipation and had been in the bathroom for about 30 minutes when the pilot broke the lock and dragged him out.
After landing, Customs and Border Protection officers detained Liebb and another passenger, allegedly making derogatory remarks about their religion.
30 minutes? You need to know when to give up buddy. It's especially fucking rude on an airplane where there are lots of people and limited bathrooms. And security concerns...
That said, when you open the door and you see the dude is actually sitting on the can with his pants down - and not up to something nefarious - maybe you don't drag him out?
I just read that and here you've posted it. What a fucking nutty situation. Broke the lock? Pulled dude out with his dick out? WTF? And then comments about "teh jewz"? Half a dozen homeland officers to roust them?
Sometimes people piss me off at work too but I do my best to not be racist and abuse them, ya know?
A few years ago I would have said there was no fucking way the situation as reported happened. That this side of the story is clearly being hyperbolic and making some stuff up to make it sound worse than it was for the lawsuit.
But given recent events with ICE and CBP... This now seems entirely plausible, which is a ridiculous situation for the country to be in.
An it is United after all. They have a corporate history that definitely lends itself to this being a reasonable story from them.
Liebb said when he asked why they were being detained, an officer tightened his handcuffs and responded: “This isn’t county or state. We are homeland. You have no rights here.”
Okay, this isn't about the BS arrest, but if you are taking 30+ minutes to unsuccessfully take a shit:
Get yourself a Fleet enema, it will make you shit like a horse in 10 minutes, guaranteed. You can find them in drugstores and it will leave you clean.
Two, you really should be eating at least 30g of chia seeds a day, they are high in fiber and will help avoid bowel-distending events before they start. Put them in a smoothie or on yogurt. Or take metamucil if you can stand the taste.
Three, you should talk to your doctor about distended bowels and profound constipation. If you aren't taking a shit for a few days to a week, you might be damaging your colon, which is bad on many levels.
Tough to do most of that if the severity of it only became clear recently.
It does seem like after 10 minutes or something that you give up and try again later, though. But I don't know what state he was in exactly so not sure if that seemed practical either.
