He just wanted a free flight to use later
Baby’s can’t help crying when they are in discomfort
Crying baby in public is NOT OK. Especially in a closed chamber between earth and sky
What would Hawkeye from M.A.S.H do?
A crying baby is a nuisance and people are trying to demonise the passenger and dont get me started about the guy with the silly grin on his face who is filming. Parents are responsible for their children. Take a road trip. To subject an arline full of people with your crying child is selfish and unfair. I cannot even stand children talking in a church much more crying ones. I move away. Let me not hesitate to add Southwest Airline is the WORST airline in the world right now!!
That’s why I always bring headphones
What’s more Annoying to me? Bringing a Baby to a Movie. Get a Fricking Babysitter or Don’t Go to the Movie. I pay good money to watch a Movie, not a Baby crying.
Dude needs to invest in some Bose or Sony noise canceling headphones. Trust me, they’re worth it.
Absolutely not. You are the adult. It’s like people forget babies exist despite the fact everyone was one. We all know kids fly. For the very same reason I bring allergy meds because I know I struggle with pollen, it’s the same reason I bring noise-cancelling headphones because I have issues with sounds. That’s a me problem. Parents are already doing their best and they are already feeling bad for their child doing something they can’t control. And frankly, where is our compassion? Did anyone offer to help? Let’s be better to each other.
What a stupid man, we can’t control a baby, he need to forever not allowed to o fly
Yo Xan get your boy dawg
Passenger needs a diaper change.
I cant believe a mainstream news source is quoting tiktok comments as peoples take on the topic
Evil evil oh and anti white!
Was he quite as a baby? What caused the regression?
Have flights for people with.
But if course he’s gotta bring race into it…
Why did he make it about the race of the baby? @30sec in
Next time, offer this man a “WING SEAT”!
First one on, first one off! 🤣😂
Give them both Nyquil…Problem solved
No one should have to deal with a screaming child on a flight. There should be something a doctor can give a mother to keep her child calm or drowsy so it doesn’t do that.
I did not know just a pressure babies feel in their ears on the airplane causes them pain. Now I understand why they scream
If I was that man, I would just come and offer help than yelling at the parents.
On his first plane ride, my baby cried AND mega puked on me. Baby puke smell travels like the sound of a crying baby. I didn’t make any friends.
“If that child was a black baby, what the f**** would be happening right now” Bro what does that even mean 😂
His the bigger baby
Everyone needs to shut up about the parent not being able to get the baby to stop crying. The baby more than likely has severe pressue in it’s ears/head making it scream constantly. Nothing you can do to stop a baby in pain like that. We dont know why and you cannot always get your baby to stop crying in a timely manner. Thats not the parents fault all of the time. I dont even have a baby! You guys need to educate yourself.
Wondering why they Didn’t kick him off the Flight granted it’s baby people have 0 patience how is the baby a crack baby how the heck does he know Dr Tantrum
His temper tantrum was worse because he posed a safety risk as he is a big man clearly out of emotional control. His yelling escalated the baby’s and likely heightened the anxiety of many others.
What a complete and utter man-baby fool.
the fact that he used to be a baby too, it’s hilarious
The child could have been teething and it’s a painful time for them
The biggest difference? The baby can’t control their emotions. The adult can. He’s in the wrong.
WE JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEIR POSITION 😊
Babies sometimes don’t adjust well to pressure changes inside the cabin, causing terrible ear pain…
I can’t believe he brought race into it. I have a feeling he’ll be on the no fly list. Doesn’t he know that babies are always on playing if he doesn’t want a baby on a plane, if he wants no babies on the plane he would need to get a private plane! Why does he think he’s better than everybody else on the plane.
MSNBC if you want to be like Buzzfeed news keep doing this
I totally agree with this man who wants to listen to a crying baby the whole flight NO ONE lets just be honest ❤❤❤
Shame people
As a mother, I’d see him as a threat and give him one warning to shut his mouth before I guarantee me a night in jail and him a night in the hospital when the plane lands.
Know your place, he would murder you 😂
Ear plugs sir
Seriously, its not fun to fly with the crying baby.
It’s called headphones buddy
I am so thanksful I am deaf, never worried about baby crying 🤗
Noise cancelling earbuds would’ve been his friend.
This man shows us how child abuse can happen.
Did he call the baby a “crack baby”? What is wrong with people? 😕
Did he really pull the race card on this baby 🤷🏼♀️🤔🤦🏼♀️
Of course, race had to be bought into it as usual 🙄
Wow that man complaining about a baby crying like that disgusts me
Poor baby. God only knows what it was going through.
Yeah because it’s terrible parents decided to air travel with it. Poor things eardrums are probably hurting so bad.
So is the baby…is never a defense 😂😂😂😂
What a garbage human being…
Completely out of control and out of touch of reality. He really “helped” the situation.
This is exactly why airlines need shared customer no-fly lists.
Flight attendant: “You’re yelling”
Passenger: “So is the baby” 🤣🤣
Dude was quick to bring up the race card. 😂😅
Not the only BABY crying..what a creep
The support of this man being irrate towards a baby is sick!
Shame on how this news channel reported this as if to invite more people to justify this man’s outbursts.
Babys are A Blessing & Stress Busters. Yes , sometimes Adults Minds are so occupied with worldy stuff they overlook this blessing of nature , the innocent bubbly cuddly lovely Babies 😊🎉❤. No Matter I may find it difficult to control my stressful Ness amongst these tiny tots, I always Yearn & pray God , Bless Our Surroundings with Many Many Beautiful Cuddling Babies. 😂 LOLZ
And My Love & Respects to those Mothers who Care for their Babies Indefinitely/Unexceptionally, They are the sole Reason we Rascals Grow Up so Well in Life, LOLZ ❤😅
I probably woulda been laughing like the guy in the foreground. Laughing at this grown a*s man acting like the real baby. I’ve seldom been on a flight when babies weren’t crying, kids shrieking, people coughing or whatever. Yes, it can be annoying. But I know it’s temporary and that’s what human beings do. Especially children. Once this clown interjected the “black babies” comment it made me dislike him even more. Get over yourself!
The babies crying more than me! Dude. Get it together.
I am on his side. That must have been so annoying to hear a child cry for 40+ mins. The flight attendants should have asked the mom to try to soothe her crying baby. Or they should have given something to that baby to entertain.
He just chose to say what most people we’re thinking 🤷🏽♀️
I’ve traveled plenty and I’ve made a couple babies stopped crying via peek a boo 😂. I can only imagine how hard it is to travel with kids toddlers and infants. I do my best to be compassionate and helpful via trying to make them laugh
Isn’t it racist for msnbc to show this
Whatever you may say, The guy is right
He’s right.
The man didn’t have any headphones?
Even pulled out the race card, huh
I’m still wondering who is the baby.
“IF IT WAS A BLACK BABY-“ lol what does he think would happen? Some people invent hypothetical victimization as a habit
As a former airline pilot most people arent aware that we board practice babies or, “decoy” babies onboard the plane to test consumer patience and brand dedication. The crying is remote operated by the stewardesses and can be disabled via an overhead button nearest your passenger window
I would of been annoyed but yelling would not make it better probably scared that child even more, I made a crying baby start to laugh once when our bus driver braked and I bumped my head on the seat In front of me so I kept pretending to get 🤕
Just throw the baby out the plane.
What a tool bag!
That’s a baby give me a break.
Make it mandatory that all airlines have a soundproof room in all airplanes for folk with crying kids. You can usually tape up a grown up in tantrum but a child in pain is not so easy to pacify…
Thats what noise canceling head phones is for. No one can control a baby crying. This is part of life. Or just drive or take a bus or a train.
To be honest, with how much flights cost, you shouldn’t have to tolerate crying babies
Big baby ….silly guy
I don’t blame him.
I would be upset too. Im a mom of 3 and yes my kids screamed. But as i grow older i find screaming kids annoying and it hurts my ears and gives me a headache. If you have anxiety then you cant deal with it.
“If that child was a black baby…”
Not playing your little game anymore.
Lol is that EDP😂
For every passenger that laughed at this imbecile, you get free drinks, nuts, meals, blankets, cockpit visits, etc
That man is a hero
The screaming man-baby calling out the screaming baby. Nuff said 🤦♀️
You can’t control a baby, but a grown up can control himself. I had a lady with three little kids and a baby on a plane. The baby would not stop crying. We tried and entertained her other kids so that she can focus on her baby. Choose to be a decent human being first.
Oh so he threw a trantrum because a « white » baby is crying. Okey!
Such a racist adult baby.
*There are some people who let their baby drool, climb, kick, cry etc! But, dude why do you gotta bring race into it? Are you stupid?*
Tyrant bully it’s a baby! he’s pathetic.💩
Of course it’s a black guy that can’t control himself
He should have been escorted off the plane head first…what a degenerate.
They need to create soundproof cabins on planes for situation like this.
I would be mad too if I have to listen to a baby cry for 40 minutes inside an airplane.
This is a reason why I won’t fly anymore 😭😤😅 outrageous ridiculous Karen’s
“If the child was a black baby” is crazy ☠️😂😂
This is ridiculous that he was asked to deplane, the mother with the baby were causing distress on other passengers. The guy was asking politely. The crew did not want to the airplane to return to the gate because they only get paid when the airplane doors are closed, they did not want to work for free.
😂😂😂 I wasn’t expecting a black man to be such a “KAREN”! 😂 ☠️ Gtfoh! Entitled men can be any color! 😂😂😂🤫 🤫😅😅 No one cares about his complaints. It’s a baby. But Earphones 🎧🤣🎧🎧 🤑
People with babies should travel separately. It’s already an anxiety provoking experience for many and adding a crying baby/child is like waiting for a bomb to go off.
