As with the above article, here’s a story which makes my fists clench involuntarily:
A female American Airlines employee was left permanently scarred after a male passenger repeatedly punched her, according to a report.
The reported incident happened on Monday night when Bruce Luke Machiavelo, 29, from Fairfield County, Connecticut, was on a flight from Miami to LaGuardia Airport in New York.
Machiavelo had told a flight attendant that he suffers from panic attacks and that he wanted to retrieve his medication that was in his checked luggage, according to a Miami-Dade police report. Once the attendant explained to the passenger that he wasn’t going to be able to get his medication, he told her that he ‘took planes down with panic attacks in the past’, the report said.
Machiavelo was then escorted off the aircraft, arrested and hit with multiple charges including aggravated battery, battery, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence.
When he was taken off the airplane, Machiavelo reportedly pushed and screamed at the American Airline’s manager who approached him, police said. He punched her several times in the face before he threw her to the floor, causing her to bash her head on the gangway, according to authorities. As he rushed off the plane, Machiavelo also shoved a gate agent to the floor, leading her to injure her hands.
The manager was taken to a nearby hospital with permanent scarring to her face and head, the report said.
So you know you suffer from panic attacks, yet you pack your meds into checked luggage and not in a carry-on bag?
And then go Full Raving Psycho Loony when your ridiculous requests aren’t met?
Here’s my first question: would anyone have a problem with the cops giving this punk a savage beating before slamming his ass in a cell?
Second question: would anyone have a problem with this asshole being forced to pay for the hapless woman’s medical treatment and plastic surgery?
If you say “No, I have no problem with your suggestions, Kim” to both the above questions, then we can be friends.
To be honest, I’ve sometimes wanted to go nuts when some airline employee enforces some ridiculous airline regulation on me. The difference is that I haven’t. And nor should this asshole, but clearly he’s been accustomed to have his every wish granted in the past, purely because of his “panic attacks”.
Well, fuck him and all the people of his ilk.
I looked that dood up.
You can see instantly he has a flawed mind.
An ounce of lead to the head.
Problem solved, permanently.
This is the solution to all the bullshit uncivilized activities posted here.
Death allows no recidivism.
Agreed (with your … suggestions). Ratified. Seconded, passed, and all the rest.
Panic attack? No, THIS is a panic attack–
Pinochet Air.
One way fare.
Happy Landing, MF’er.
what is the legality of blacklists to prevent these imbeciles from getting on airplanes again? Would it violate the ADA act because this malcontent with panic attacks would be barred from traveling on this airline?
your triggers are your responsibility. the buffoon should have kept his medication in his person. He should be held criminally and civilly responsible for all costs incurred by others for his tantrum.

I agree completely. But a liberal, Soros funded DA will probably let him off, or a liberal judge will just slap him on the wrist. The flight attendants are gonna have to go after him in civil court, God help them.
I’m fond of watching bodycam vids on youtube. The patience of most of those cops in the face of incandescently stupid & belligerent motherfuckers never ceases to amaze. It’s a gig I could not perform in the here & now.
My dad was a small town cop once upon a time. He found himself working the desk during a graveyard shift when the teenage son (& notoriously punk ass bitch) of one of the town’s wealthier residents boosted a car, took it for a joyride & crashed it thru the front entrance of a hardware store. As the kid was sleeping it off in his cell, daddy arrived, put a $50 bill on the desk & invited dad & the arresting officer to enjoy a meal on him, and could he have the keys to Junior’s cell please.
Pops was advised Junior would not be released. Daddy replied he had no problem with that; he just wanted a few moments alone with the kid. My dad & his partner agreed. Pops beat the living shit out of the kid, locked the cell back up, returned the keys & invited my dad & his partner to have a nice night. The kid had no more run ins with Johnny Law (at least not in that jurisdiction) after that. Funny how that works.
“Pops” should have been given a Father-of-the-Year award by the Cop-Shop Union.

from the press-release:
* the alleged incident was allegedly witnessed by an allegedly hundred individuals who were allegedly passengers and staff.
Sure.

Flying commercial, apparently the doors get locked closed?
Shame if he tripped on the way to the shower…

Apparently, it’s still too early to get all revolutiony and CommonLaw jurorsy.
