The United Employee hit him first, then invited a further fight.

Very stupid.

It is New Jersey.

Not correct. The longer video shows the passenger slap the employee, who tried to come back at the passenger a few seconds later. The employee should have just backed off, called the airport police, and have the guy arrested. Now he is the laughing stock of people who are blaming him, he will lose his job, and the passenger might try to sue the airline.

Did you watch the entire video? I saw the passenger land the first blow.

There is a longer video on Twitter that leaves that in question.

One thing that is sure: If you are fighting, get your hands up.

Dude slapped the employee first

In case nobody's pointed it out, the passenger assaulted the airline worker first.

In case you haven't yet been sufficiently informed.

Big boy can’t fight.. but the skinny dude knows how to throw a punch.

So you think this kind of thing only happens in NJ?
