American Airlines plane is diverted after a passenger assaults a flight attendant

Absolutely crazy! I thought airlines had stopped inflight liquor service because of things like this, but the article says the man had been drinking. Frankly I don't care what someone thinks their rights are, if a business says a mask is required, you should comply....especially in an airplane.

If someone causes an accident after drinking in a bar, the bartender who over served that person can be held liable, maybe if they start charging the airport bartenders and proprietors for all the added expenses of these incidents we might see a lot less of them.

Don’t the airlines post clearly on every method of ticket purchase that passengers will have to wear a mask?
That’s not a removal of rights, it’s the rules of “the store”. “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”. If you don’t like the store’s rules, don’t patronize them.
For those who don’t remember, or weren’t around then, there used to be smoking sections in the rear of passenger aircraft. (There weren’t smoking sections in restaurants yet, it was all smoking.)
Just because you sat in front didn’t mean you didn’t smell the smoke.
The business says, “cash only”, for example, are you gonna shove a check at them? The business says, “wear a mask to use our products and services”, then expect that. Choose not to use the business, but getting a federal charge over it?
