FULL TITLE: 'Hit me!' The shocking moment an American Airlines flight attendant challenges a passenger to a FIGHT after 'hitting a crying mother in struggle over her baby's stroller'

A shocking video has emerged showing an American Airlines employee challenging a passenger to a fight after allegedly hitting a woman with a stroller on a domestic flight.

The upsetting footage, filmed shortly before Flight 591 departed from San Francisco on Friday afternoon, shows the airline employee goading a passenger and saying, 'hit me'.

The clip was uploaded by passenger Surain Adyanthaya, who explained he started filming after the flight attendant 'violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby'.

Adyanthaya went on to explain: 'They just in-voluntarily escorted the mother and her kids off the flight and let the flight attendant back on, who tried to fight other passengers. The mom asked for an apology and the AA official declined.'

In the video, a woman is seen standing at the front of the airplane as she is holding a child in her arms.

Strollers are a tripping hazard at best. And in case of turbulence or some sort of emergency, they could be a lot worse than that. Passengers need to use their heads for more than just a place to hang their headsets.

Just some observations from flying in the early 1980s and today:

- In the 1980s...people dressed appropriately. Today, about 10-percent of passengers are wearing jogging gear or some slut-attire.

- In the 1980s...you had ample knee room. Today, you have to pay extra to get real leg room.

- In the 1980s...people could smoke and relieve stress. Today, people drink to excess to relieve stress on the flight.

- In the 1980s...you rarely ran across doped-up passengers. Today, I’d would take a guess that 10-percent of most passengers are on some kind of tranquilizer or opioid.

- In the 1980s...generally, the worst that might happen to you was the loss of luggage upon arrival. Today, you might have a hundred possible bad things that could happen on one single leg of a trip.

you are probably right, the employee is a gay dude who hates women

I'm betting he's got a police/security background.

The mother was a tramp, who had sex with her female roommate in college, while doing crack cocaine, and posing for naked pictures with the black father of her baby which she's raising to be a thug... in 3... 2.... 1....

The baby stroller could have been weaponized.

If you want more intel, we will need to use the Cone of Silence.

Get Smart.

You're way behind in this thread.

[Now getting past the ‘Get Smart’ comedy element ...]

‘The times I’ve been able to intervene, I’ve been threatened myself.’

I’ve seen that happen too. And most women try to be ‘good sports’ when men get lewd with them in public. They feel pressured to cheapen themselves.

A lady used to be expected to slap men who got too fresh with them. Now it’s a FELONY?

Only one man had the courage to speak up on behalf of the woman and babies. Look at the reaction, on the video, and even here at FR.

Bingo!!! Thank you. Been in many “discussions” on here recently and certainly have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of FReepers that we can’t count on when SHTF time comes.

"I think he was a stand-up guy, so to speak."

I meant the passenger, of course, not the shave-headed AA attendant.

Sure did. Grrr Don’t know what to think about what’s going on in FReeperdom. People thinking it’s ok to beat a 69 yo passenger, blaming the 15 yo girl for “going willingly” with her kidnapper and now this. Just WOW! Really making me reevaluate how much time I’m spending here.

You might say this foot-shot by AA comes right on the heels of the United incident.

Part of the issue is that people try to bring way too much as “carry on” rather than stowing as regular baggage. I bet that stroller was a big one and she probably didn’t know how to fold it.
