I’ve mentioned a few times that I fly A LOT.
Between a formerly-long-distance relationship, a spread out family, and an overall need to move around, I’m seldom in the same state for more than three weeks at a time.
I find it surprising, then, that I’ve never really had any bad experiences. Sure, I’ve had a delay here or there, but with all the WEIRD CRAP you hear going down on flights and airports… I consider myself lucky to have nothing interesting to report.
If I would have seen this, I would have RAGED.
Seriously. I would have personally kicked this dude in the nads.
According to Daily Mail:
A man allegedly punched a deaf woman’s service dog and then hit her pregnant stomach because he felt the great dane ‘took up more space than it deserved’ on Thursday.
See what I mean? RIGHT IN THE NADS.
Hazel Ramirez, who is 20 weeks pregnant, was flying to Orlando for her gender reveal party with her partner, Matthew Silvay.
The 21-year-old told News 6 her Great Dane Zariel had slept through the majority of the flight from Colarado Springs, before waking up when the flight landed and stretching.
Earlier, Timothy Manley’s wife, Petrini, had complained of allergies, and the canine’s stretch was allegedly the final straw for the 59-year-old.
Police said Manley hit the dog with a closed fist, causing Zariel to yelp and hide from the man under a seat.
WTF!
Couldn’t he have just asked to be moved? Or you know… something reasonable?
WHO PUNCHES A PREGNANT WOMAN AND HER SERVICE DOG?!?!?!
Ms Ramirez, who is expecting her third child in just a few months, and her partner, who is also deaf, tried to tell the man off as best they could as the plane made its way to the gate.
Law enforcement officials were called to the gate, but before they arrived, a police report says Manley punched Ms Ramirez in her stomach before Mr Silvay, 30, tackled the man so he could not escape the police.
HOW DID HE NOT ABSOLUTELY DESTROY HIM? Maybe he did… they’re just not talking about it. Who knows.
Ms Ramirez also told News 6 Manley pushed her two young daughters over in his bid to escape.
‘They fell and cried so hard,’ she said.
HE PUSHED THE LITTLE GIRLS, TOO.
What a deranged f*ck.
Manley later told police Zariel ‘took up more space than [he] felt it deserved’, The Orlando Sentinel reported.
Everyone involved declined medical treatment at the airport, but Ms Ramirez says she wants to press charges.
The FBI is now investigating what, if any, charges can be laid. The soon-to-be mother-of-three says she will testify in court if needed.
Listen… we can all agree that flights are stressful…
But this?
This guy’s a friggin’ lunatic.
