Summary: A man on a United Airlines flight attacked a sleeping passenger, punching him repeatedly until his face was bruised and bloody. The suspect, Everett Chad Nelson, claimed the victim had attacked him earlier, but a witness stated Nelson’s attack lasted about a minute and the victim did not fight back. The FAA is investigating the incident, which is one of over 1,700 unruly passenger incidents reported this year.
You must be really tough!
Also, cops can’t fly.
Air marshals? And even if there isn’t one on board they can land and have the police waiting there
And no I’m not tough. But I’m not going down without a fight.
You seem like someone who hasn’t spent enough of their life being called a moron.
If you aren’t trolling for bait, you are certainly a moron based on everything you’ve written here, you may want to consider an IQ test to find out if you are mentally handicapped.
I am not joking tho for your sake I wish I was.
But you’re asleep and next thing you know someone is punching your face and now you can’t see because you have fists in your eyes plus you probably have a seat belt on and you can’t get it off because your hands are probably trying to shield you
Your hands will still or at least should still come up. You should be swinging back. Even if you can’t fully figure out exactly who your assailant is. That’s fighting back. Why would you just sit there?
It’s also leaving your defense open to critical blows to the head.
You don’t know what Air Mashals do if you think they’re the type of cop that intervenes in passenger vs passenger fights. They’re there to stop the plane from being hijacked or crashed by a saboteur.
How long do you think it would take to fly down to pick up a cop? Minutes, perhaps? Intriguing.
You’ve never been in a real fight if you’re that confident you’d prevail in an ambush by a crazy person while restrained by a seat belt.
I’m not as smart and tough as that guy you’re replying to, but wouldn’t an air Marshall detain people for fighting? I thought I’ve read stories where they have in the past, but maybe I’m not remembering correctly.
Maybe, maybe not. The fight could be a distraction to draw the air marshal into the open and into a vulnerable situation so that a highjacking can take place. As long as there isn’t immediate danger of loss of life, they might choose to let some guy get punched in order to continue their primary job of protecting 300 other people. Or they might step in.
That’s why they get paid the big bucks. To determine when it’s time to go loud.
Who said anything about prevailing or winning? I said fighting back I never said winning.
Damn you’re really tough and cool.
So what you are saying is…
Since I would probably lose the fight and get my ass handed to me but I wouldn’t just sit there, then that means I’m tough and cool?
Interesting take.
You have a good night.
