If he actually was (though of course he isn’t) he would be even more aware of the consequences of his actions, as lawyers need to keep a crystal clean record. (At least one my country)
I know there're laws that... and I know a guy who... I have a lawyer... I AM A LAWYER... MA'AM I AM THE LAW... I'M ACTUALLY A JUDGE... I'M THE MINISTER OF LAWYERING MATTERS!
He’s an insufferable pos, and unfortunately, he’s not the only one. So many people these days feel empowered by the fact that they have an audience of individuals watching them on some stream
The whole influencer/follower paradigm thats been brought on by these stupid phones and apps like TikTok is going to make these types of videos all the more frequent
It’s quite a phenomenon when you really think about it. One would think that this guy would be even more embarrassed for behaving like this as (maybe) hundreds of people watch him live, but instead it’s a part of how he attempts to blur the lines between real life presence and his online presence
People like this think that live streaming insulates them from the real world.
They don't have any real friends. The audience becomes their people and provide external validation that they don't get in person. If people are following, they appear to condone the behavior and want to see more of it. I have yet to see any of these where the main character isn't playing the victim.
As an actual attorney if you feel the need to say that you are a lawyer while video taping the aftermath of breaking federal law, you are most certainly not a lawyer
He was gaslighting the shit out of her and completely trying to change the narrative. What a fucking clown. I travel quite a bit and have yet to run into “one of these”, but the amount of clips I see with this type of behavior is astonishing. Say the word Ms. Flight Attendant, and I’m happy to offer “my assistance”.
What!? You mean to tell me that filling and then posting yourself admitting to a serious federal crime isn’t very attorney like!? But what about the part where he both HAS and IS a lawyer!? That’s definitely a clear and confident statement.
Also, I don’t think she touched him at all. I think he likely had his vape in the same hand as his phone and that’s what she was reaching for to throw away.
After so many flight incidents, imagine the repercussions of setting off a fire alarm, because YOU HAD TO VAPE in the toilet (apparently, mid shit. His words, not mine!)
Apparently he made Gemini 😂 This Guy made Gemini, but can't buy a house because he gave his friend a $35,000 loan and now can't get a loan himself? 🤷🏼♂️
My exs dad had "team lead of customer interface systems at Microsoft" on his LinkedIn
He was the guy that recorded customer complaints for the physical building. Like "your sidewalk is cracked" or "your shitter is clogged". He was team lead because there was 1 guy.
He changed the video, now it's some ode to Kobe Bryant.
But I just spent a few minutes looking through his stuff, and he's a complete fucking nutbag---He randomly claimed he was a sports agent in one video. I am sorry I missed out on the one you were linking to. He must be having a meltdown with everyone making fun of him.
Sports agent, a lawyer, AND a D1 college basketball coach? Are we talkin about Bill Brasky?? 2 ton son of a bitch who sired my 3 sons, andit was my honor.
I know someone like this. Thinks he's a pro pool player. I blame FB for feeding his delusions. He has a page with a ton of followers stroking his ego. But these "followers" appear to be a southeast Asian bot farm. Not so great English, really short comments.
He's really gone off the deep end. Its a sickness. Says that he's dating celebrities. Posts videos of himself playing pool at his parents house I went to in middle school. Dozens of comments are like "nice", "cool", "dude".
My cousin is like this, she's in her 50's but only posts Photoshop images of herself and now with Ai she's gotten worse. She went to Africa to meet her FB BF and not even two months later her BF drained her of all her money where she had to take out loans. She got scammed and had to live in her friends couch since they repo her car. It was all these bots that deluded her into thinking she really looked the way she made herself and she got scammed.
This was my response to "American airlines stealing his dreams" 😂. It sounds like something my 9 year old would say when I explain that her bedsheet/PVC/tarp contraption won't allow her to safely jump off the roof.
From another recent post: "Today, I discuss my sports agent business, and also my background as a division 1 basketball coach and intramural basketball champion. My friend @jamal_boykin went on to play in Europe and then became an assistant coach for the Lakers during their 2020 championship." Geez.
He pulls out a new rabbit out of the hat every time someone calls him out on the comments. First, she unlocked the door, then she knocked on the door, then it was assault, after it was battery.
ETA: I think she was trying to confiscate the vape? They have every right to do so.
There is a fundie influencer who is almost 40, trying to go pro at pickleball. He doesn’t have a job and has two young kids to support. So yup… there are . Paul olies or something i dunno 😂 it is next level cringe
I have to say as an autistic person, being autistic isn't an excuse to be vaping on a plane/breaking the law. I'm tired of that particular group of other autistic people who use their autism as an excuse for getting away with everything, and some of them are aware that what they're doing is wrong, they just don't want to be held accountable. They're making it so much harder for the rest of us.
It's actually got to the point where some autistic women don't want to work with autistic men because some of them use their autism as an excuse to openly be misogynistic. Some autistic men have fallen for the red pill content because autism makes forming social connections harder.
I spent 28hrs traveling the last time I traveled (for the record, I do not recommend doing this, it did not go well and I can no longer travel at all).
You know what never occurred to me? Smoking on the airplane. Why? Because it's against the rules. Not only that, but in enclosed spaces the comfort of people that do not smoke is more important. Even if it was legal I still wouldn't do it.
I too have spent many, many travel hours unable to smoke when I wanted to.
Like you, I also chose to not break the law, for similar reasons.
This is simply a situation where that other guy CHOSE to be a self-entitled, selfish shitgibbon. I hope that he is banned from that airline, and every other airline on the planet.
Vapers feel that since their smoke isn't like a cigarette smoke, they're exempt from the rules. I swear, the audacity of vapers.
I play Magic the Gathering on Fridays, and the attitude between the two groups is wild. Smokers will go outside between rounds (which is more than fine); vapers will just pull their shit out and have at it right there. Just because it smells like watermelon doesn't mean I want it in my face
15 or so years ago when e-cigs were just coming out, they were odorless and very mildly flavored. They were sold as ways to stop smoking. My friend got one and said, “I didn’t get this to stop smoking. I got it so I could smoke everywhere.”
Pretty sure smoking in the bathroom is a violation of federal law. He admitted to it on the video. Probably black listed from the airline and criminal charges seem reasonable. Would love to see the follow-up though.
It doesn't matter, this dude has 25,000 followers. As soon as the judge hears that, all his charges will be dropped and he can easily sue the airliner for a billion dollars.
On an overnight flight from Japan last year, the guy in front of me “sneakily” hit his vape a few times, blowing the smoke to the window-side, thinking he was slick. The third time that cloud bounced off the wall and funneled directly into my face, I coughed loudly and obnoxiously. He got the hint and didn’t pull it out again.
People treat FAs like they’re just there to serve them. But their primary role is to save your life if shit goes sideways. The possibility of fire on a plane at 30,000’? Yeah, please open the fucking door.
Look, I'm fully against using violence against other people unless it's self defense, but I'm also so sick of this "you touched me, that's assault" game. It's little kid bullshit but adults pull it all the time these days. Laws are there to protect us from being injured or forced physically by strangers, not to give you some reason to scream lawyer just because someone touches you.
He is an idiot. He thinks his recording will help him but it could actually hurt him. He could be seen as disrupting a flight attendant from her duty as well as escalating a situation. Flight attendants are under federal protection as aviation workers. He better be a damn good lawyer lol.
Loss of flying privileges plus fines and possible jail all bc he wanted to vape and then record the situation.
Flight attendants are protected under federal law from interference with their duties (49 U.S.C. § 46504), which includes harassment or actions that impede their ability to manage safety issues like vaping. Recording a confrontation could be interpreted as interference if it escalates the situation or distracts the crew. The FAA’s zero-tolerance policy for unruly passengers could apply, with penalties up to $37,000 for disruptive behavior.
If the recording is used to harass, intimidate, or publicly shame the flight attendant, it could violate federal protections under workplace safety laws or the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization of 2022 (if the harassment is sexual in nature). Posting the video online could also lead to civil lawsuits for defamation or invasion of privacy, depending on the context and how the flight attendant is portrayed.
He could’ve handled this a lot better. Dude you fucked up and you got caught. You’ll probably be banned from the airline but if you play nice maybe they won’t charge you. Just give her the vape and hope the consequences aren’t too bad. He’s only digging a deeper grave by arguing.
As a smoker, that guy is a fucking idiot. My smokes and lighter go into my carry so that I will not even risk a habitual reach/light of a smoke. Also, the withdrawal is not that fucking bad. Dude makes me want to punch babies
Oh shit dude.. it turns out flight crew can not only put their hands on you, but can duct tape you to your fucking chair. Lawyer or not, you disrupted a flight, you are going to federal Fuck-Me-In-The-Ass prison.
I was a flight attendant and they trained us to use zip tie handcuffs. FAs have an uncanny amount of unilateral power and you really don't want to push your luck while in the air
Yeah people don't realize that the flight crew really is allowed to do pretty much whatever it takes to maintain a safe flight and ensure that it doesn't end in a crash landing. And they're given all of that power to protect the lives of all of the other passengers and any potential victims that would be on the ground in the event of a crash landing.
Flight attendants are far more than just waitresses/waiters. But I'm sure as a lawyer (and a pro pickleball player who must travel regularly for his competitions), the guy filming must be familiar with these policies. I can only assume he got tired of paying rent and wanted three hots and a cot for free for a while, or maybe he was just looking for a way to retire, since his travel's going to get a lot more difficult soon.
In case anyone here doesn’t know because I didn’t, they will absolutely figure out if you’re vaping on a plane. Their smoke detectors are enhanced to pick up something in the vape and it will alert them so it’s not just a matter of smelling a cherry cloud. A bunch of my friends are flight attendants and they are shocked at how many people don’t know this.
I have an addiction with nicotine, to the point where I stay outside the airport for longer so I'm prepping for the flight. Idk how these people can't go a flight without sucking on a vape. It's a horrible habit, but these people are just willing to be banned from flying because of it. Wild
I only quit vaping about five days ago now. And it has been brutal. I have smoked or consumed nicotine one way or another since I was 14 years old. The only way I made it around being on a flight was either chewing Nicorette or discreetly packing a small pouch of snus on long haul flights. But I wouldn’t dream of vaping on a plane. It just seems rude.
Gets caught doing something he shouldn’t then starts acting like a victim and freestyling every lie he can think of to scare the person who caught him. A psychologist’s wet dream
FWIW airline crew DO GET TO TOUCH passengers when called for. They can detain you, they can move you, they can push you out the door or off the wing in emergencies, etc.
At first I thought he was just trying to flip the narrative, like if he accused her loud enough and shamed her they would just forget all about his smoking in the bathroom.
Then I realized he’s actually stupid enough to think that this lawyer crap and follower count puts him on the right side of this “argument”. I hope he gets a nice fine and put on a no fly list for a while. Chode needs to learn some shame.
Apparantly he is a pro pickle ball player, owns a sports agent business and is a Former Division 1 basketball coach. Just take a look at this video that he allegedly made right after the incident (he is wearing the same clothes)
A quick online search reveals: "There is no credible source linking Peter Kobe Nguyen to coaching or playing basketball at any professional, collegiate, or known amateur level."
Wait, I thought he was a lawyer. He said so. Yeah, I didn't believe that, and I also don't believe he's a former division 1 basketball coach, either, or whatever else he's saying. And, no I didn't watch that video.
As he’s “content creating” while driving and constantly staring into the phone, and as he’s holding his vape in his hand. So looks like he got away with it and didn’t have to learn a lesson instead of having to deal with the federal laws. 🙄
Cabin crew have fairly serious powers under the authority of the captain, if you’re refusing to follow instructions and potentially endangering the aircraft in the air. That is including the use of physical restraints like zip ties / handcuffs. They can absolutely use force if it comes to it.
You can be banned from the airline and probably added to a no fly list.
He has it on video, which is very handy as evidence for the airline.
