Hey! Fxxx You, I'm French!

Too Funny...



Smoking French flier charged with assault on Delta flight


By Ben Mutzabaugh, USA TODAY

CAPTIONCourtesy of Delta Air Lines
A French national on a Delta flight who refused to refrain from smoking and clashed with flight attendants ultimately was handcuffed by air marshals and charged with assault upon landing in New York.

The man allegedly helped punctuate his lengthy in-flight confrontation by admonishing an air marshal in French, turning a phrase that generally translates to: "F*** you, I'm French!"

AFP says the incident began when the man is thought to have smoked several times in the lavatory of Delta Flight 83 from Nice to New York on Tuesday. He is accused of responding belligerently when the flight crew confronted him about smoking.

Citing a criminal complaint filed in New York, AFP says the man " appeared intoxicated and smelled of cigarettes and alcohol."

The complaint says the man, identified as Franck Lebrun, engaged in numerous confrontations -- some physical -- with the flight crew, prompting air marshals to get involved.

Again citing the complaint, AFP writes:

A federal air marshal on the plane intervened and "instructed Lebrun to return to his seat," and two other air marshals confronted him later but Lebrun "continued to scream and yell expletives and then aggressively positioned himself toward one of the federal air marshals in a fighting stance."

The man was part of a group en route to Honduras, but was detained in New York pending a court proceeding, according to the latest available press accounts.

"FU, I'm french" would roughly translate as "Va te faire foutre, je suis Français" as if being french put him above the law. I don't care what nationality you are you have to abide by the law. It's quite pathetic to see that people cannot refrain from smoking for a few hours.

Didn't you hear? The French are God's gift to mankind... Spent some time in France a few years back and as far as I'm concerned, they can keep it.


Odd how a country's population can have such attitude when the people they hate (all foreigners) are the very people who have consistently bailed them out/protected them over the years and to this day who's tourism remains one of the major contributors to their economy.

Fucking French...

The French have always been cool everytime I went there. They don't hate foreigners from what I have noticed, they just hate loud, rude American tourists. There's a lot of those that make the rest of us look bad.

Did you hear that the reasons to participate in the you know what were non-existent and that the CIA fabricated evidence of WMDs and Dubya lied to its own population. The french were the only one to defy Dubya on that and they were proven right. Bring me some more french fries.

I'm not gonna blame the French for this guy if other countries don't blame America for the typical American stereotypes that a few Americans live up to.
