      Don’t suggest murdering people as a solution to inconvenience.

        i appologize if it sounded like i was suggesting murder.

        point the nose of the aircraft at the people and turning on the jet could (if the people were to close) suck them into the engine. that would be murder and be wrong.

        turning the aircraft around and having them to close could burn them, possibly killing them. yes that would be wrong.

        but moving the aircraft away from the people and then turning the engines on won’t kill them. it would just cause a massive blast of air. won’t kill them just make it very uncomfortable.

        murder is wrong and i am sorry if you thought that was what i was implying.

          Sorry to have mistaken your intention. I appreciate that you explained further.

          I’m not sure if I agree with the retaliation, but it’s more proportional than what I thought you were suggesting. But ultimately, local law enforcement agencies seem to have handled this well.
