Fight on Delta flight from Tampa to Atlanta started with Rosa Parks comment and masks, feds say
A drink cart, an unworn mask and a comment about civil rights activist Rosa Parks led to violence on a Delta Airlines flight last week from Tampa to Atlanta, according to court documents and a passenger from Tampa who helped restrain a woman.
Delta 2790 departed from Tampa International Airport two days before Christmas. Passenger Patricia Cornwall was returning from the restroom and found the aisle blocked by the beverage cart, according to a federal criminal complaint filed Monday in the U.S. District Court’s Northern District of Georgia.
When a flight attendant asked Cornwall to find a different, open seat to wait in until the beverage service was over, the complaint states that Cornwall responded with, “What am I, Rosa Parks?”
The cart was stopped near the seat of Russell S. Miller, who “believed Cornwall’s comment was inappropriate,” the complaint states. Miller told Cornwall she “isn’t Black ... this isn’t Alabama and this isn’t a bus.”

Why don't 'Karens' like to be called 'Karen?' They have obviously earned it!
