"JetBlue Flight to Boston Diverted After Man Claiming to Be 'Devil' Causes Violent Disturbance"

A JetBlue flight from Fort Lauderdale to Boston was diverted to Orlando after a male passenger, referring to himself as "the devil," assaulted his female travel companion and caused a disturbance. The flight was delayed over five hours as the plane had to be refueled and a new crew arrived. The man was escorted off the plane by officers and was not arrested but taken to a local hospital for being intoxicated. The flight eventually continued to Boston, landing early Friday morning.

"Rev. William Barber Escorted from AMC Theater, Alleges Discrimination Over Disability Seating Dispute"

Rev. William J. Barber II, a disabled civil rights leader, was removed by police from an AMC theater in Greenville, NC, due to a dispute over his personal chair, which was deemed a fire hazard by theater employees. Barber, who has ankylosing spondylitis, brought his own chair for disability accommodations to watch 'The Color Purple' with his mother. The incident led to a police call for trespassing and arguing, but Barber stated the situation was handled well by the officer on the scene. AMC has since apologized and plans to review its policies, while Barber forgave the theater chain and will meet with its CEO to discuss the matter.
