N.J. man says he was almost kicked off plane after flight attendant found shirt offensive

A New Jersey man says his T-shirt nearly got him kicked off a United Airlines flight.

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."

    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.”

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

    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.
