Good point, she is speculating on what the attendant's intentions were. But anyone speculating on the woman's reason's for filing are guessing also.
No I am not speculating. She said she was horribly injured and had to be bedridden because this person repeated a nursery rhyme, which she chose to interpret as racist?, and she feels she should be compensated from the company and ultimately the American people for it. Those are the facts she stated. That is absurd and either she is a very disturbed person or she is attempting a shakedown. She said it in her own words.
If she were just offended by what she thought this person actually meant, she might have just called the airlines an voiced her complaint. Instead, an apology is only an apology if it is accompanied by millions of dollars - and you don't call that a shakedown? You understand neither the airlines, the attendant, nor the American people did anything wrong. The wrongdoing was on the part of the person doing the suing. She is the one who made something racist of it - no one else and she wants money for that? What exactly would you call this but a shakedown?
