On a Southwest flight Sunday from Sacramento to San Diego, an unruly passenger attacked a flight attendant, knocking out two of her teeth and bloodying her face.

The police arrested Vyvianna Quinonez, and charged her with battery causing serious bodily injury.
San Diego authorities charged a 28-year-old woman with felony battery after an attack on a Southwest Airlines plane in which a flight attendant lost two teeth and suffered other injuries to her face.
The incident marked an escalation in unruly behavior by airline passengers and led the president of the flight attendants’ union to ask for more federal air marshals on planes.
“Unfortunately, this is just one of many occurrences,” said the union president, Lyn Montgomery. She said there were 477 incidents of “misconduct” by passengers on Southwest planes between April 8 and May 15.
There are allegations that one of the reasons for the incident was yet again a face mask!
The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday that airlines have reported 2,500 incidents of unruly passengers this year, including 1,900 cases in which passengers refused to wear face masks, which are required by federal rule.
The FAA provided those numbers as it announced it was seeking civil penalties totaling $54,500 against five passengers for behavior ranging from refusing to wear a mask to assaulting flight attendants.

Lower prices for traveling attracts trash that otherwise would have to stay home in their public housing.
Fixed it.
I was driving even before this stupid mask thing. They must know they don’t do a darned thing and even worse that they harm people, yet they do it anyways.
Meme online, same thing.You can still be
squeezed together on the plane. Well maybe
they’re families and can be trusted to
sit together and not be super spreaders.
“You can sit with an empty seat in
the middle” (last year when I flew)—but many sat
next to each other.
Look at sports now—some stadia whether
outside for baseball or inside for hockey
have been only allowing about 15 to 20
per cent capacity.Huge areas of empty
seats but bunches of people sitting
right next to each other.
MA will allow full capacity at ballparks
and arenas as of this Sat.
The 800-pound elephant in the room no one will admit to —hostile hateful illegal aliens, border jumpers, and anchor babies by the thousands, grown to adulthood, metastasizing amidst the general U.S. population.
Once again we see the futility of injecting third world Mayan and Aztecan hordes into a highly technocratic first world Western European society.
South America long ago declared war upon the United States. Its weapon of choice was uncontrolled migration and broken open borders.
It has succeeded enormously, betting correctly we wouldn’t have the political stomach for defending the sovereignty of the U.S. militarily. Such ridiculous laws as posse comitatus and birthright citizenship on the books telegraphed to them they had very little indeed to fear from us.
They were right.
Those types of rules are for little people who don’t independently think. I refuse to be lowered to the lowest common denominator. I always have my belt off before the plane stops for a few reasons of my own, but I’ve never caught trouble for it. Lots of air crew are power tripping fools. Occasionally you get the good ones, and they make it fun to fly, but most are grouchy hags who’s expiry date passed long ago but they’re pushing on to get to get the pension and they don’t want to be there and it shows.
Of course I don’t bother flying anymore at any rate. The mask thing is not just an innocent thing to comply with. It’s evil in origin and continuation. Anyone and any company still forcing this on people needs to be put out of business.
Around here the Mennonites don’t wear masks and nobody forces them, they seem to have it figured out.
If my doctor tries to force a mask on me (extremely doubtful) I’ll get a different one. Mine is South African though and not a drone, so pretty decent on most parts. I’ve had to educate him a little on pill pushing, but that’s the training, not his fault.
These days though especially, I’ll just drive or not go. I have my land, my horses and ability to reach out to 2500 yards off my south deck, where do I need to go?
I agree with you. But I will not fly again. back when I did, I was the one usually patted down, separated from my luggage and had to sit next to the FAT lady. I will drive three days before I submit to their rules. And Hawaii . . . well Hawaii is out of the question now. I guess I could take a cruise out of San Fran, but then I’d have to go to San Fran. So that’s out.
The old man on the United flight in Chicago was following the rules and he got beaten and dragged off the flight
Just drive up here, there’s lots of beautiful country heh.
Jasper isn’t far, Banff is a bit further, but it’s all foreigners there anyways. There’s some of the world’s best scenery in and around here and things to do.
The airlines should simply hire bouncers and put airlocks on the doors. That way, bouncers can simply toss problems out the side doors.
“he rules are quite clear - sit down, fasten your seatbelt, turn off your phone and put your seat and tray table up.”
The rules are arbitrary and changing. Ten or so years ago reading a kindle during takeoff and landing was not allowed and now everything except a laptop may be used.
You couldn’t even get in to my doctor’s office without a mask. Didn’t have to wear it talking to him, though. As far as getting a different doctor...not a practical solution, for a variety of reasons. It’s out up with the bull, or go medical commando.
Oh, grow up. Advocating violence against women - great look for Free Republic’s reputation.
It might not be feasible here either, because all the good ones are so old and retiring or new ones that come in are from some moslem crap country. I’m talking Canadian healthcare here, which is beyond garbage. No good doctors want to come here because they can make better money somewhere else with far less hassle. It seems a lot go to Mexico or places like that actually, where they can actually practice without all the interference.
You have no idea what led up to this attack but whatever it was, you feel the violence was justified. You sound like a liberal.
Comments like this give FR a bad reputation.

What possible reason would medical professionals not want random sick people coming in and sitting in a waiting room with other sick, elderly, and possibly immuno-compromised people without a mask on with a super-transmissible virus going around? boy those doctors sure are selfish.
Flight attendants were more fun when they were called “stewardesses”. Last few times I’ve been on a plane, the “flight attendants” were either grannies or gays.
>>were either grannies or gays.
and in some cases both!
These people are just like everyone else - smile and be friendly, follow the rules and 99% of the time thy are going to be friendly and helpful.
Yes, there are some bad apples in the group, but certainly not the majority; they have a job to do, they don’t make the rules they are told to enforce, and they have the crappy job of dealing with all kinds of trash people all day long.
“... we put some teeth in this....”
I see what YOU did there!! :) Yes, agreed. I saw a clip of this event on youtube and it’s disgusting. The flight attendant is an “older” lady (for some reason I just assume she would be in her 20’s as well). The youtube clip stated it started because the woman wouldn’t put on her seat belt and put up her tray. We have reached a point in society when violence is seen as simply justified against other people for whatever reason someone likes.
