American Airlines passenger hits gate agent in Phoenix after being denied boarding for not wearing a mask

To all the idiots clamoring for jail, violence, etc. Go back into the woodwork!

I don't see the assault in the video, maybe it happened before. She was not allowed onboard and that's all right. If she really did commit an assault, that should go through due process.

Complaining and yelling IS NOT an assault--even if for the wrong reason. The airlines assault us passengers daily with their policies.

Totally agree - fight back with whatever is necessary against this ridiculous, unwarranted fanciful unproven garbage based on the preposterous mythology that everyone is oozing coronavirus. Odds are overwhelming that this woman does not have a single coronavirus on her. She should have immediately requested throat and blood PCR testing to prove it, then sued the Airline for arbitrary unreasonable irrelevant requirements and furthermore demanded that the airline prove that noone else on the flight had the virus because if any did a flimsy mask is most definitely not sufficient and if none had it ( by far the most likely) then no one needed it in the first place! As for the unlikely person with coronavirus wearing a mask is not sufficient if you want zero risk as The exhaled air goes around the edges and right into the face of the adjacent person. This all started with a grossly negligent unprepared CDC that stupidly greatly over estimated the virulence of this bug then embarked on an incredibly foolish inefficient unfocused cascade of idiocy that has been adopted without question by those dependent on these same government burocrats to permit continuing operations.
