I can’t count the number of times I’ve wanted to do this.

Punching and kicking?

Couldn't she get close enough to pull hair and bite, only kidding, of course!

I'm assuming the attacker is Amish or has she taken part in the "knock out games?"

I was in Detroit during an equally frigid snowbound winter a few years ago, flying in one of the turboprops they have parked in this big lot and you have to ride the little shuttle out to board. Some passenger asked the gate guy what the hold up was, not confrontational, nothing physical, and they called the airport cops on him!

The report said the agent was trying to assist Griffiths, who became violent without being provoked.

"It says she had to protect herself by covering her face and blocking punches that you were throwing at the United Airlines ticket agent," Hurley said.

Additionally, "It says you grabbed her hair, pulled her to the floor, kicked her in the stomach and legs as she laid helpless on the floor," the judge said.

The attack was broken up by two men who came to the aid of the ticket agent who ended up with bruises on her face, head, stomach and legs, Hurley said.

I wasn’t too far from that with some idiot in the Delta ticket line about 10 years ago. The line was not moving, they had several stations without passengers. God knows what the agents were doing, but it wasn’t helping customers. I complained to the guy managing the line, and he dropped the 9/11 line, as if more security measures had anything to do with piss poor customer service. I went ballistic. Not sure if those around me were cheering or rolling their eyes, but it sure was fun.

If you go to the link you will see that she is one of 0bama’s daughters. These people have taken their exaggerated sense of entitlement and arrogance to a new level.

My thoughts are that this is a planned attempt to force us to fight back giving Obama the excuse to declare martial law.

Nothwest Airlines ruled the roost for arrogance while I was a near-weekly air traveler. I've heard Delta has inherited this tendency.

People just need to read the fine print at the bottom of their ticket.

“We can do whatever we want, whenever we want to whoever we want. Neener Neener.”

I was on a flight once to Dallas that had real weather problems. We were late arriving at Dallas and many people missed their connecting flights and there were no more flights to their destination that day. People went crazy. I’ve seen less screaming at riots. The airline put people up overnight and fed them. I was the last person in line at the ticket counter. The couple in front of me used every swear word I know at the ticket agent and threatened him. The ticket agent said to them, “Here’s your voucher to the Motel 6. There is a McDonalds nearby and here is a voucher for that.”
They left screaming and crying. The ticket agent sighed and looked at me and said, “Next.”
I smiled at him and told him that I understood that he didn’t control the weather and anything he could give me was fine. He stared at me. Then, he said, “Here is a voucher for The Hilton Hotel. They have a great restaurant and here is a voucher for a meal there.”
I had a great steak and a great nights rest. People appreciate a little kindness after a lot of abuse.

This is disproportionate punishment. They need to go out and round-up three white women and arrest them.
