Son, in an actual civilization, nothing said by the gate agent would justify that action. The employee was doing his job according to the rules. The attacker imagines himself as above airline corporate management and certainly that employee.
Airports can indeed be very frustrating these days - overcrowded, long security lines, passengers herded like cattle, being made to take off your shoes, be scanned and patted down, your personal items being rifled through. And that’s before you get to the filthy, overcrowded planes with little room in each seat. Flying these days is a miserable experience.
There does seem to be a lot of these outbursts and even fights lately in the airport and on the planes themselves - there was one yesterday on a flight.
We’re a long way from when there was a sense of decorum and order in airports and on flights. I remember being made to dress up like we were going to church if we were flying anywhere.
I’d give up flying altogether if I didn’t have family on the other side of the counrty.
“Who knows what the gate clown said andtried to stop the guy for...”
I have a feeling you are correct. These workers can be jerks.
