re: #442 kirkspencer

Read the whole thing I said. I don’t know either way. I have questions that need answered in a trial.

The biggest? How did this man get out of his seat and halfway down the aisle during final descent?

The second biggest? Since they got seats wrong what else did they get wrong? (Flight 721 is an airbus 320. It has 26 rows of seats.)

Why don’t we have an affidavit for the incident, at least for the language, from anyone in the seat to the side or in front of her?

Want a (made up just to answer your question) idea? Try this.

The accused is “genteel racist” - made it plain by implication and posture. And he did tell her to shut that damn baby up (but without the racist language). The woman, pissed, starts yelling “why’d you hit my baby?”. And the witness happens to be black (don’t know, making it for this line), and automatically supports the woman because she’s also black.

And because she was yelling and the man was a southerner and the standing man supported it, a lot of other passengers expressed sympathy.

You want my guess, he’s guilty. I think he is.

But it does not change my core statement. He should not be punished, have his life destroyed, on the accusation.

Where are you getting that the flight was an Airbus 320? Sometimes it is and sometimes it is an MD90/Q which has 39 rows.

If you heard some man getting loud with a woman and crying baby, some men wouldn’t just sit there, regardless if the plane is getting ready to land or not.

The mother is white. The mother also apparently spent a fair bit of time in the back of the plane to get away from the drunk asshole.
