A passenger did not want to buckle up and when the flight attendant told her, she punched her multiple times, knocking out two teeth. Some are defending her. She's been charged with felony assault. Should she have to pay the flight attendant's medical and dental bills? What about flying?

I personally believe she should go to jail and have her ass beat hard by her fellow guests; once for every tooth she knocked out. Then when she is released into a work program she can pay financial restitution to her victim.

It’s unbelievable to me that grown adults have this little self control. Sickening.

Who would defend someone punching someone else in the face because they didn’t want to put on their seatbelt? Charge her, end of story. I don’t really think this is political or controversial.

Property rights are absolute.

When the owner or agent of the owner says you must do x,y, or z to use their service you either do it or leave.

Also, you aren’t allowed to punch people.

She should be banned from flying ever again. She should have a hefty fine. Spend several months in jail.

One would think it's not controversial but in this day and age, they would be wrong. This passenger who was on the flight said the flight attendant provoked it and should have "stayed in her cubby". The passenger said the flight attendant was yelling at the passenger. But if the flight attendant's JOB is to make sure passengers are wearing masks, staying seated with belts on, etc. what are they supposed to do? Cower in the back for fear they will be punched in the face by angry passengers?

There’s really no such thing as “provoking” physical violence. One loses control and gets physical. It’s on that person 100%.

I suppose flight attendants can be in the wrong just like cops, etc. but 99% of the time it's the charged offender that is in the wrong.

the woman coming to the assailant's defense must know her, since she called her by her first name.
