Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
What would you do?
Picture this.
You're sitting on a flight, on your way home from a nice vacation in, say, L.A. Midway through your flight a middle-aged man of middle-eastern decent gets up and tries to break into the cockpit, then starts walking back down the aisle yelling "You're all going to die. You're all going to hell. Allahu Akbar!" at passengers.
What would you do?

Offer them a job as a protected class and thank them for giving me the opportunity to be diverse.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haw haw haw?..
I would ask Mr. Obama to please sit down.
I would tell the person next to me that I would do something, but there was probably a new law enacted that we don't know about that states he has the right to do that, and since I don't feel like breaking the law, I'm not actually going to do anything.

That guy was like, totally cool and stuff. - foxtrot
Given only the details in the story, nothing. I'd let him beat his hands bloody and yell himself horse. No need for me to deck him for just yelling, that can wait until other threats present themselves.

My bad. Editing the OP, small change.

I have come close when I was on a plane and the guy was acting suspiciously.
There were 4 of us ont he flight and I was able to get word that to follow my lead if SHTF.
I had a mechanical pencil I was going to put in his neck if he was going to act stupid.
Turns out he was diabetic and went into shock or whatever. It was a short flight
but we were going to Chicago from Detroit and he was definatly ME.
**** profiling or stereotyping, I wasning going to take the chance with my life.
This is the reason I ask:

Caused an emergency landing. Not a single passenger did anything about it... other than a Navy vet that considered maybe doing something, after he put his shoes back on of course.
To me, that's pretty disappointing.
Also an interesting side note that the guy was Iranian, after the recent happenings with US/Iran/Saudis.
Id say based on that, he was acting like a complete ass but no one could do anything per say since he didnt make any real attempts towards to cockpit or at others.
Ah but he did. The emergency call came from the cockpit while he was trying to break in... not sure if I read that in the linked article or elsewhere (I usually read a story from a few different sources before putting too much thought into it... the first article I read didn't even mention the "Allahu Akbar" part).
From what I've gathered, he tried to break into the cockpit and failed, then started acting erratically and yelling threats at passengers, and at some point locked himself in the bathroom.
I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't have acted on that.
