never mind...

sounds like a bunch of white people were afraid of a vocal black man on the plane. the charges sound trumped up and who smokes purple hash in america. He probably was smoking purps which made him loopy but he was probably pissed off from a nagging flight attendant
Damn, I lived in the Jordaan (Amsterdam most lovely neighborhood) two years and I don't know what the heck purple hash is. Gettin' old, I guess...
