The man who walked in front of a Frontier plane, which nearly ended in catastrophe for the passengers, had 20 previous arrests, including for attempted murder.

41-year-old Michael Mott’s most recent arrest was just one month before he trespassed at the airport.

In 2005, Mott was arrested for attempted murder with a gun. He later pleaded down to second-degree assault and was sentenced to just 6 years in prison.

He was also charged with felony assault using a weapon during his time in prison.

When he got out of prison, he continued to commit crimes, including felony assault on a peace officer and domestic violence, along with other crimes, according to the New York Post.

Liberalism is a plague on our country. Thanks to a “compassionate” justice system, this guy almost killed everyone on board this plane.
