Drunk Passenger Causes Chaos on Ryanair Flight from Morocco to Manchester

Drunk, a British passenger disrupted a Ryanair flight from Morocco to Manchester for two hours. He will be arrested after landing, brought before the British justice system and then sentenced.

Benjamin Gallon, 37, would have drunk before boarding the plane making the journey between Morocco and Manchester. The flight quickly turned into a real nightmare for the passengers. Gallon started singing loudly. When other passengers asked him to stop, he replied "F*** the police" and asked his friend’s wife: "Is he gay, isn’t he?", reports Express.co.uk. The other passengers also face racist and homophobic insults. "Are you Jamaican, do you like chicks?" he asks another passenger.

Invited to move forward in the plane to allow the police to expel him more easily, after landing, the thirty-year-old refuses to comply. "Come on mate, move so we can leave," a passenger throws at him. "Shut up or I’ll headbutt you," the disruptive passenger replies. He will then be arrested by the police. Gallon then insults the passenger: "It’s your fault, I’m going to get arrested, you asshole."

Gallon is a man known to the British justice system. He has been convicted 14 times for 22 offenses, including drunkenness and public disorder, violence, and violation of court orders. In a letter from the disruptive passenger read in the Manchester court by Stuart Neale, the thirty-year-old apologized profusely. "I have nothing but remorse. There is no place in our society for this behavior and it has filled me with the greatest shame. No one has the right to make anyone feel what I made those good people feel that day. I am disgusted with myself - there is no excuse for behavior like this."

Gallon was sentenced to four months in prison after admitting to boarding the plane while drunk and behaving in a racist manner.
