About four months after a scuffle on a flight made the Cash Me Ousside girl go from a Twitter meme to an infamous phenomenon and a passenger on an overbooked United flight was forcibly removed by some wild police, you'd think we'd have our fill of in-flight violence. You'd also be wrong, as this fist fight on an L.A.-bound flight some time yesterday turned the Fight Club into Flight Club.

Details are sketchy, but we have to big up Twitter user @CoreyHour, who provided the video of this battle, with some needed commentary. Apparently there was some beef about 10 minutes before the flight (which was almost two hours behind schedule) was supposed to take off, and a random "you think I'm crazy? What about the government!" comment was thrown. 

So, 10 minutes before take off a passenger starts a huge fight in his row. I get in between him and flight attendants, but he won't 1v1 me.
He yells, "You think I'm crazy? What about the government!" Then exits the plane. 1.5 hours later and we finally take off. 😴 jfc

As you can see in the video, a bearded man rocking a red Hawaiian shirt got into it with a black shirt-wearing individual, who had his hat and headphones smacked off in the scuffle. Homeboy in the black shirt was throwing some serious shots, but it was dude in the red shirt who was throwing out the "I will kill you" claims.

At one point, the red shirt-wearing man is removed from the area before somehow making his way back to his seat and getting popped in the face with a left. It doesn't look like he was ready for that action, considering that his shirt was ripped all the way up.

When asked about what happened to start this beef, @CoreyHour offered a story that is a bit hard to believe.

@CoreyHour What started this? The old man?
@TechExamined He allegedly was contracted by the government to carry out a hit in Las Vegas. Then he went rogue and started fighting civilians.
@CoreyHour HAHAHAHAHAHAH.. Did you get up and drop some punches too? I would have
@TechExamined The moment I got up and separated him and the flight attendants he sat down and wouldn't square up with me. Then he shouted and left.

That reasoning sounds nuts and is either actual facts or the rantings of a drunk old man. According to Yahoo News, there is a report that a 44-year-old American man was arrested on Monday night and charged with assault; he is said to have been deemed a potential threat, but wasn't trying to get off of the plane. Some are even saying this man choked an employee and was intoxicated.

How soon before these flying cars are affordable enough for people to not have to worry about getting their shit rocked on an airplane?
