I don't like the five minutes of hate either. And the over abundance of out-of-context filming going on everywhere. But I do care that a woman was hit by a stroller and that a baby was almost hit. Mr. Flight Attendant is an employee, not police officer, and has no right to assault anyone. What upsets me, and everyone else if they spent a minute to think about it, is that flying (among many other things we do) has become a throughly unpleasant. Flight crews are increadily underpaid, over worked and under extreme stress. If they don't close that gate on time they'll miss departure, have to wait in cue several minutes and cost their company thousands in fuel. So they're stressed, annoyed, view us a cattle (which we are) and will lay their hands on woman with babies. It's not the flight attendants fault. It's American Airlines' fault.

Because at any given point in time there are thousands of things happening where people are clashing over something or other - that's called life. You're really unlucky when one of those events goes viral and has someone like you pilling on with the rest of the mob to make sure your sanctimonious perspective is heard.

  Except that anyone who has flown in an airplane knows that these aren't rare, unthinkable, events. Every time we fly we get nasty, rude, on the edge of snapping flight crews. So, ya I hate the 5 minutes of hate culture, except that's the only defense we, as the public, have against entrenched power. Same goes for cops, soldiers, Uber, etc. I'm sorry but I no longer buy the "lone bad apple" story.

    Ahhh. I understand. You're pilling on as way to air your grievances. It doesn't matter what the actual situation is, you feel that because you didn't have a good experience flying you want to take your shot against another target to make yourself feel better.
