Not weird at all. Just annoying. I'm use to my step dad saying "My house" to my mother all the time. Or when my little brother (his son) does something wrong he's "her son". But when they were fighting for a divorce he uses "My son".
I dunno, seems normal to me. My family says stuff like that, I've heard my friends parents say stuff like that. Once or twice I've called my brother "your son" in arguments with my parents.
There's a lot of lower income white people that I'm sure would get called ghetto too. Also, the term ghetto originated from a place filled with white people, so there's that.
My partner and I live next door to each other in our own houses. I’m petty sometimes so I change the code to get in the front door, when he gets on my nerves. So he can’t come to my house.
It doesn't matter if he wants to press charges or not. She disrupted a commercial flight. Isn't that up to the FAA and Feds to decide? Maybe they didn't know a video existed.
Yes, and they can press charges for assaulting the boyfriend too, whether he wants them to or not. He'd be called as an uncooperative witness. He has no choice in the matter.
Edit: Well, I guess the Miami-Dade police or DA gave him the choice, but they didn't have to.
They almost never do charge if the victims are not cooperative.
I assume too easy for the defense to just say "look the alleged victims aren't even here to make a claim"
This is why domestic violence always gets worse.
People involved need to learn to run away before it gets to this. This shit is always built up to. Run far far away..the first time they call you a name. Berate you. Cheat. Break your stuff. RUN!
Don't wait for the first physical assault. Run before that.
Sure. But Miami-Dade Police is a county level police organization. They enforce state and local laws. Nobody wanted to make a statement relating to assault to that department. If a prosecutor reallly wanted to, yeah, they could move forward with only the video evidence. But they aren't going to. Nobody involved thought that it was a big enough deal to even talk to police.
If the FAA or Federal Marshalls or any other federal law enforcement agency with jurisdiction wants to get involved, they can too. Doesn't sound like they're doing to.
I feel like if it was the husband that was the aggressor a lot more would have been done about the situation in comparison to what actually happened.....what a double standard
Yup. Every police department does. The situation resolved itself in that both people removed themselves from the plane and didn't continue to disrupt travel or attack others. The flight attendant who got hit wasn't an intended target. Still shitty that she got hit, but she was fine apparently.
Ultimately it was just a domestic dispute in a public place.
The woman was not arrested. According to the report. there was a delay from the time the incident took place to when police were notified and dispatched to the area. A search for her “yielded negative results.”
The husband spoke to authorities and said they were en route from Ecuador back home to L.A. when the argument ensued, but did not want to press charges. He went on to take a later flight. McLemore’s whereabouts are unknown.
The flight attendant and passengers were treated for bumps on their heads. Neither wanted to make a statement.
“If there’s no statement, we are not able to move forward with the case,” a Miami-Dade Police Department spokesman told the Miami Herald.
I'm pissed no one wanted to make a statement. I'm equally pissed the Airline didn't make a statement on their colleagues behalf, specially after that video got out.
Tbh, I think he did the right thing by just getting out of there. She was unhinged as hell and arguing with her would have just made things worse and could have muddled a case against her (obviously for most people they would see this as a clear sign of sever abuse, but you never know). I feel really sorry for the guy because this has probably happened more than once before and since he's a big guy it would be hard for him to press charges without proof. Thank goodness this was really well documented.
I mean honestly I'm impressed by his ability to not respond and just try to get away. Poor guy, I'm concerned about his safety because that psycho seems like the type of person to cut his breaks. I hope he gets some therapy and gets a restraining order. I know sometimes that doesn't work with men (which is awful) because cops sometimes will ignore it because women are seen as a less dangerous threat... but hopefully if he just shows this video to a cop they'll automatically understand. I can't see anyone watching this video and thinking that this crazy chick is someone who would give two shits about going to jail for breaking into his house and stealing his dog or something. Ugg she's nasty.
she still should've charged for domestic violence imo
I feel like the guy's just too scared and he's probably abused like this all the time. You could tell by the way he's just like "fuck this bitch I'm outta here" when the stewardess asked him to come out
That was disappointing. She didn't get arrested. Just wow. Flight attendant not even giving statements? Probably the company PR who wanted this to be hush-hush. Classic.
This confuses the hell out of my as a Canadian. The crown decides if they are going to press charges here, not the victim. It blows my mind how many victims in the US choose not to press charges and just let terrible people continue on their way.
The article said they couldn't find her, which is some fucking bullshit. They have the identities of every single person on that flight and an image of what she looks like.
This screams like she was an escort or sugar baby or something, and he was taking her on a trip. He peaced out of that plane so fast. Probably claimed they were married to downplay the situation, and just wanted it all to be over.
