That's assault on a police officer. The flight attendant was lucky this time.

See?

Why bother...

;)

Tase him.

The passenger is a giant baby. Perhaps the flight attendant should've changed the idiot's diaper after waking him.

At least it wasn't an arrow to the knee.

This must be the husband to the woman in this video.

Insert "magazine to the knee" meme here.

Oh come on. Someone had to.

...and no brain to speak of.

Dammit dammit dammit daaaaaaammmmmiiiiiit

Two things.

First, maybe it being chartered made a difference, or maybe he was on sleeping pills, but how do you stay asleep during landing? I have a hard enough time sleeping when the plane isn't loudly zooming into and along the ground while the brakes make a dull roar as the plane slows down.

Second, I got woken up by a middle aged British flight attendant's butt once. True story. She wasn't cute though, and I was rather enjoying my rest. I still didn't call the police on her. :)

Lucky it wasn't Florida. "I felt threatened! So I killed the Flight Attendant with my Glock bullet pen!"

Well at least the cop has a sense of humour.

Approves.

She should have smacked him across the head with the magazine with a solid full swing.

I once tapped a man on the knee just to watch him wake

-- Johnny Cash

tapped his knee you say...

maybe it was really that tent in his pants?

Hey if you did this to a flight attendant instead the surefire assault conviction would be the least of the charges

I haven't seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert

Snake on a plane?

;)

30 round mags are heavy enough to do damage if you hit someone with one..

Mad-n-FL: 30 round mags are heavy enough to do damage if you hit someone with one..

All mine are rectangular, where do you get round ones?

Good thing it was a slap on the knee with a magazine, could have been a dick slap across the lips.

Obviously, the flight attendant was racist.

Wow...talk about a serious case of butthurt! I hope his mommy kissed it and made it better when he got home.

They wrote a song about this guy.
Song about this guy

Last flight I was on, I sat next to a young woman who dozed off during the flight. On final approach, her tray table was still down, and I really had to ponder whether or not to wake her, lest I be accused of something or other. I did, and everything went well, but it was weird that that was even a concern.

gblive: She should have smacked him across the head with the magazine a crowbar with a solid full swing.

FTFY

Seriously, fark this whiny little pussy.

I've been banging a flight attendant for a few weeks now, so Im getting a kick out of these replies.I have my next role play scenario

The officer has a sense of humor "no paralysis from the magazine"

brantgoose: What you should do is swot them really hard on the back of the head on your way by.

No need to be violent. Just dangle a demonstration oxygen mask in front of the guy's face and scream "OMG we're going to crash!"

And the article writer (John Tuohy) wants to be known as a "news" man.

I wonder if he knows where he went wrong.

He didn't mind the groin grope at security, but a tap on the knee with a magazine was too much.

Stupid subby, its called a "clip"

I'll let TSA fondle my junk and take my Swiss Army knife, but I draw the line when a flight attendant touches me with a magazine.

Just give the back of his chair a sharp downward tug like the idiots behind me always do when they have to stand up. Wakes me every time.

While I agree that the passenger is being a tool, I doubt he would have received any leniency if he whapped the back of a stewardess's head with a magazine to wake her up.

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If stewardesses can act like giant tools and get all 'Oooh! An Assault! Interfering with a crew member!!!" when someone does something annoying and technically against the law, they need to STFU when they're facing similar charges for something similarly annoying and technically against the law.

BurnShrike: He didn't mind the groin grope at security, but a tap on the knee with a magazine was too much.

It was a charter, so no grope: TSA was not involved at all.

Some waitresses in the sky have gotten post 9/11 power trips and have quite possiblly used their questionable legal powers against drunken douchebags when they could have talked their way out of the situation and not inconvienced the entire flight crew and passengers.

If members of flight crews can throw hissy fits instead of dealing with difficult people as professional adults doing a job, so can passengers.

Good for that weenie passenger for giving the flight crew the same zero tolerence treatment that passengers are too often given.

Officer Seconds:

You wouldn't call the cops on Steven Slater.
