Old Women Battle With Razor, Pepper Spray On JetBlue Flight
Daily Caller ^ | 8/27/15 | Blake Neff

Posted on 08/27/2015 7:00:44 PM PDT by markomalley

Two people have been arrested and two others hospitalized in New York after a passenger spat between two women on a plane escalated into a bruising battle involving a razor blade and pepper spray.

It all started Wednesday, when JetBlue Flight 690 arrived at JFK International Airport from Kingston, Jamaica. According to the New York Post, 61-year-old Jean Ballentine grew restless waiting to disembark from the plane and decided to simply clamber over fellow passenger Mary Cannady, 52, who was sitting in an aisle seat.

That was a mistake.

Cannady shoved Ballentine away, and Ballentine apparently retaliated by punching Cannady in the face, then breaking out an eyebrow razor she used to slash both Cannady and a male passenger who attempted to intervene.

Cannady in turn decided to break out a can of pepper spray, filling the airplane compartment with unpleasant fumes. The use of weaponry was notable, given that neither the razor nor the pepper spray should have been allowed into the passenger cabin in the first place.

Ballentine and Cannady were both arrested. Ballentine has been charged with second-degree assault and unlawful possession of a weapon, while Cannady has been charged with unlawful possession of tear gas. Both combatants were largely unharmed, the post says, but two others were hospitalized thanks to cuts from Ballentine’s razor and breathing difficulties from Cannady’s spray. According to the New York Daily News, seven total people required treatment for breathing difficulties.

Since when is 52 & 61 "old"?

That was my first thought as well. I guess this saying applies: "Old" is anyone who is 20 years older than you.

So if the headline writer here is 30...

after a passenger spat between two women on a plane

Well I would be a little grossed out as well, if somebody hocked a loogie near me. But I don't think I would pull out my eyebrow razor.

As to the pepper spry I would have rubbed some Jamaican blood clot "Grace" brand Jerk seasoning in the eyes.

The other gal would be using the eyebrow razor to get it out LOL

"Who would need an eyebrow razor? Andy Rooney or Moochie..."


Rooney for sure, plus all the rest of these guys might want to consider investing in one of those eyebrow razors...

I was thinking the same thing. I read an article the other day and they called a woman who was 59 elderly.

I’m thinking that if they’re past 100, or maybe at least in their 90’s, then we can accurately call them “mature” and “seasoned”, but 50’s & 60’s are still in their prime...

You can fly into JFK with razor blades and pepper spray? What happened to cavity searches for having a 5 oz shampoo?

I unknowingly flew to Vegas a few months ago with pepper spray in my purse.
