What turns passengers into anti-mask vigilantes? One master storyteller some ideas.

White man in a white ball cap and orange shirt attempting to throw a punch; the arm of the flight attendant restraining him is visible on his shoulder.
Video still showing the irate passenger in action.

Have you seen the viral video of the guy on a Frontier flight? Apparently it started over masks, but eventually punches were thrown, breasts groped, and finally the Saran Wrap came out. Watch the man as he claims his parents are worth over two million DOLLARS. Because that always gets people to rally. But alas, he is only wearing orange.

Then there was this video, with the footage as well as a recap of events from the guy who fastened Mr. Wonderful to his seat. Except—

That’s not Alfredo Rivera, one of the actual flight attendants from the cell phone footage. Still, I hope this boosts the career of the comic who released the video cause the guy has some major storytelling talent.
