a woman with her mouth open

An irate American Airlines passenger became even more enraged when her fellow passengers protested her foul language and rude behavior while waiting for her baggage in Ohio.

American Airlines Passenger Reacts Violently To Being Told To Watch Her Mouth

The undated incident takes place at an American Airlines baggage carousel in Columbus, Ohio (CMH). It is not clear what agitated the woman in the first place, but she is hopping mad and cursing up a storm when

Everyone calls out assault, but the assault (apprehension of imminent harm) already occurred. The shove (and the spit, had it hit him instead of just drooled from her mouth) was battery (inflicting that harm).

She grabs her bag and begins to walk away, but not before scolding the man taking the video below…asking why he would “act like a white person when you just a n*gger!” After walking away in a huff, the camera is turned and we see the man who shot the video saying, “I’m a black person, not a n*gger, just letting you know!”

It appears she walked away without waiting for the police or suffering any consequences for spitting toward and shoving the man.

Why do I share this? First, to applaud the other passengers for staying calm. Like the incident on Scoot I wrote about yesterday, the situation could have turned violent very quickly had one or more of the other passengers fought back more aggressively.

Second, because this sort of anti-social behavior should not be ignored. I hope that someone at American Airlines will look into this, to the extent possible noting that we don’t even know when the incident took place, and ban this passenger from future travel. No one should have to endure being spit on.

But do learn from this incident: whip out the camera, yes, but don’t fight back against folks like this…it just isn’t worthwhile.
