Capitol rioters on no-fly lists get kicked off planes and arrested, Internet brands them 'domestic terrorists'

'F**k every single one of you.. but this is what they do to us. They kicked me off the plane. They called me a f**king terrorist. And they wanna f**king ruin my life,' one rioter yelled

Just days after a pro-Trump mob stormed into the Capitol building on January 6 trying to hinder the process of the certification of the Electoral College votes in favor of President-elect Joe Biden, Twitter was swarming with videos of protesters not being allowed to board planes at airports after being placed on the no-fly list. 

One of the videos showed a rioter fighting tears as he yelled that he had been kicked off the plane. "People who broke into the Capitol Wednesday are now learning they are on No-Fly lists pending the full investigation. They are not happy about this," Host of Tribe Of Hackers Podcast, Ray Redacted, posted. 

In the clip, the rioter could be seen audibly announcing, "F**k every single one of you.. but this is what they do to us. They kicked me off the plane. They called me a f**king terrorist. And they wanna f**king ruin my life." 

Another video showed Delta airlines removing a couple of people from a flight from Washington DC for their participation in the attack on the Capitol. One of the women being escorted off claims she was removed for "freedom of speech". The person recording the video said, "They're on the no-fly list for being radical White terrorists." Another video showed two women being arrested by officers at the airport. Both of them tried to resist arrest. 

All of the videos were originally Tik-Tok videos which had been reposted on Twitter. Soon enough the videos went viral with a slew of people reacting to them and reminding the protesters that their actions have consequences. "

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM ON THE NO FLY LIST FOR STORMING THE CAPITOL. WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES" one of them wrote, while another said, "I bet not a single one of them at the Capitol on Wednesday thought in a million years they'd be treated as terrorists on a No Fly List and this was just another rally in Washington. Now they know how it feels to be looked at as Domestic Terrorists."

A user commented, "Hearing that the ppl who stormed the capitol were put on the no-fly list." One more quipped, "Yeah, you do terrorist sh*t, you get terrorist perks." The next remarked, "I will be weak af, if the Capitol terrorists were not only on the no-fly list, but the no rent a car list and no bus ride list. Make em walk home! #TrumpInsurrection." 

A commenter tweeted, "This is great!! Anybody whose cell phone pinged at the Capitol location during those hours should be on a no-fly list until proven otherwise. We have to keep America safe. Law and order folks should support that, right?"

Another said, "This dude is in tears over being called a terrorist, but I just want to know how he made it through security alllllll the way to the gate. How was he even able to check in?" One more noted, "Another story from people from The Party of Personal Responsibility being shocked to find that there are consequences for one's actions."
