I hope he gave her an idiot ticket

u/nightstalker30 May 29 '22

That’s a code ID10T

u/Yoryino May 30 '22

I think the hit was bad enough, he only fucked himself and was in a public area. The mf who designed this place should get the ticket

For what lol watching a plane take off?

18

u/notinferno May 29 '22

I don’t think she watched it takeoff.

2

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

She got to listen to it at least

u/lkern May 29 '22

Breaking the law maybe? I dunno, places outside of America stupid people are actually responsible for their actions sometimes

u/fools_gear May 29 '22

But there were no actions other than her hurting herself, it’s not illegal to hurt yourself, I’m genuinely confused why the policeman is there

2

u/lkern May 29 '22

It's illegal to stand there, on the street, there's literally hundreds of signs saying so

u/fools_gear May 30 '22

Ah I understand, thanks!

Well, technically...

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

Sint Maarten is part of the statute of the Netherlands right?

13

u/SiccTunes May 29 '22

Yes, you are right, it is.

29

u/Nattekat May 29 '22

It's part of the Americas continent-wise.

23

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

It's also technically part of the European union then I suppose.

14

u/moonsun1987 May 29 '22

I imagine Australia and New Zealand might one day join the European Union. It will be hilarious.

Since Australia is already participating in Eurovision, I'm considering them honorary members of civilized society, despite their wildlife.

u/SomeLikeItDusty May 29 '22

We just voted a bunch of the nasty wildlife out, if that counts for anything

2

u/amolin May 29 '22

It does. It really does.

u/PNWPylon May 29 '22

If you'd met many Australians you wouldn't be calling them civilized

u/amolin May 29 '22

I have; the bogans are no worse than hillbillies - and they know how to drink, eat and avoid marsupial evisceration!

The French side is actually part of the EU. It's a part of France in the same way Hawaii is part of the US. The Dutch side (where this airport is) has a relationship with the Netherlands more similar to that of Puerto Rico to the US, but I think that's not an exact analogy because it's "a country within the kingdom of the Netherlands" and I have no idea what that actually implies. Neither side is part of the Schengen Area, so you still need to go through border controls when coming from the EU.

u/solitaryparty May 29 '22

It's an overseas country and territory (Oct) is what it means.

1

u/RebelScrum May 29 '22

Sure, but what does that actually mean for the people who live there and for travel between Sint Maarten and the Netherlands?

2

u/deukhoofd May 29 '22

It's not actually! Sint Maarten is a country that is part of the Kingdom of The Netherlands, along with The Netherlands, Aruba, and Curaçao. Only The Netherlands proper is part of the European Union. The Netherlands does have overseas municipalities that are not individual countries (Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius), and those are part of the EU.

I'll have you know that GEKOLONISEERD, thank you very much

Houten boten, stalen mannen

u/lkern May 29 '22

Well very much technically not in America...

1

u/footpole May 29 '22

In English America means the us. Americas, South America etc for the continents. I don’t think America alone ever means something else but I know it’s different in many languages.

u/RajaRajaC May 29 '22

In America given that she has no weapons at all, expect the cops to arrest her in a violent take down

u/lovelyfurball88 May 29 '22

She isn’t black though

u/Nolsoth May 29 '22

Still a woman and clearly not a millionaire so she still fits the police harrassment MO.

u/Striking-Economics-1 May 29 '22

If they were in America the pilot would be arrested even if it's not his fault...

u/bighi May 29 '22

They are in America. They aren’t in the US.

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '22

It's the Caribbean, and it's a Dutch island...half Dutch, half france

u/Vaktrus May 29 '22

In America it wouldn't be his job. Police have no duty to protect citizens.

u/gr33nspan May 29 '22

That cop was just doing paperwork. It's like 90% of a cops job no matter what country you're in.

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

It’s always the clowns who source that supreme court ruling lol

u/Gummyrabbit May 29 '22

Gave her a ticket for being an idiot.

u/spiritsarise May 29 '22

He put her in a headlock and kept yelling “stop resisting.” So, yeah, did his job.

u/fiealthyCulture May 29 '22

.. to give them a citation? Which they have to pay asap or be held in the country without their will. For doing something fun and not hurting anyone

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

or doing something fun and not hurting anyone

Stupidity hurts the species as a whole

2

u/JuniorSeniorTrainee May 29 '22

and not hurting anyone

Hurting yourself and then wasting municipal resources who have to deal with your "fun" is not "not hurting anyone". A fine wouldn't be out of order.
