Morgeruat's post in its entirety, actually, of which I assume (hope?) he has copy/pasted from somewhere else. I really don't see how this news is anything special just because there's a socialist involved, nor why the writer of that bit thinks it's such a great joke that he feels the need to announce it twice. The links in Morgeruat's post actually lead to more neutral and less prejudiced reports, and I really don't see how you even end up from those reports to some rambling how "funny" and remarkable it is that a socialist saved the day with a forceful action. Instead, focus on the good news that a hijacker has been stopped with the help of some passengers; the identity of the passengers is simply irrelevant, and I think it's rather tasteless to indirectly imply that an act of heroism by a "socialist" is so remarkable that it even deserves its own headline.
