FORT MYERS, Fla. Wearing a mask inside an airport is required in Florida.
A local woman found that out the hard way when police forcibly removed her from a plane at Southwest Florida International Airport on Wednesday morning.
Lee County Port Authority Police say 23-year-old Adelaide Schrowang of Sarasota, refused to wear a mask.
It gets worse. Flight attendants say Schrowang became irate and even spit on other passengers.
The captain asked the police to get her off the plane.
When she refused, they began to deboard the airplane until officers say she became even more aggressive, to the point that they had to forcibly remove her. ...........(more)

That should cost her a cool $10k-$20k in legal fees..... Not to mention actual conviction costs.

(16,359 posts)In that mugshot, she doesn't look to me like she feels heroic. People who think something like this makes them a hero tend to look defiant, even proud of themselves. She just looks defeated and miserable.
I don't this had anything to do with "owning the libs." This is the face of a brat who just didn't feel like following the rules and (based on this pic and the description of her behavior) was quite likely high on something or other.
I have zero sympathy for her, but let's not call this something it isn't. Assuming she did this to "own the libs" is giving her more credit than she deserves, imo.

Just shows the power of propaganda. Seems like her main fault is being so gullible to conspiracy theories. Some people are more wired that way. Doesn't explain the spitting though. That's just mean. I suspect some kind of mental illness as well.

And after 23 years (eight of them since the story you've posted when she was at least 15), you would think she'd have realized that the choices you make don't always result in the consequences that you expect or seek.

(7,947 posts)Presumably she's redeemable if she reminds herself that she lives in a community and has to regard other people. She used to have that in her.
Jail will remind her of that, and she can tearfully plead with the judge to let her do community service now.
It's really like a virus, this hateful anger that seems to consume people who used to be ... well, normal.
"The nicest guy I know" has become this way. He was always the guy who when we lamented about having to figure out how to move this big boulder out of the garden would show up with shovels and a wheelbarrow.
Now he shoves up right against people and yells at us about the 'stolen election'. He can't think or talk about anything else, and he's angry at everyone. His wife is talking about leaving him after 40 years because he's always angry at her now because she isn't sufficiently devoted to Trump.
It's like an illness. They don't seem to want to be cured, though.
I think in the future, psychologists are going to write books about this, like "St. Vitus dance" and other mass hysteria outbreaks.

(2,636 posts)8 years ago, this young woman lived under a different president, and "owning the libs" was less a thing.
In the subsequent 8 years, that ninth grader who cared about others evolved into a selfish, anti-science, scofflaw who doesn't think the rules, recommendations, or guidelines apply to her. Why, she spit at others, in order to threaten them with covid. Now, what happened over that time to make her think her comfort is more significant than others?
Whatever she was as a child, as an adult, she is learning about that whole actions and consequences thing.
Stupid is as stupid does, no matter how nice she was at 14.

(2,636 posts)I was gobsmacked at how young the girl on the video still was, too, SO I WATCHED IT.
The article was from 2013, when the woman who pitched her selfish fit on the plane and delayed every other passenger because she was special was a freshman in high school.
I'd say *something* or *someone* or several *someones* caused this young woman to change over the subsequent 8 years.
Who she was in 9th grade doesn't take precedence over who she proves herself to be today.

(7,947 posts)I don't get it. I know it helps to be white, because you can often throw a fit then and just be "forcibly removed" rather than 'thrown in jail or worse."
But how did she get through school without being expelled? How does she have friends? How is it she's not banned from stores?
Or does she only behave like this when airplanes are around?
Did the masking requirement bring this insane aggression out in her? Or was she always causing confrontations?
At least now she's been arrested.
I do think a stay in jail, a trial, and another few months at a prison camp might teach her what life apparently has failed to do so far.

(3,185 posts)They're trying to prove, "You can't tell me what to do!" The masking mandate has brought out a weird strain of oppositional defiant disorder in a lot of people. I really don't get it, but then, I'm not an asshole. At least, I don't think I am. I'm sure there are those who'd disagree.

She's certainly anti-vax, but I doubt very much she's one of TFG's faithful. Unfortunately there are plenty of anti-vax loons on the left, as well.
She's a Karen University student working on her degree. This could be part of the final exam. You go girl!
