What would you do, if a passenger in first class "boo'd" a Gold Star family for being allowed to leave the aircraft first to receive their fallen son/daughter in the military?

I too think the word asshole would come out. Maybe not from me but surely from the CAPT. She’s from Boston and can be wicked vocal!

Sp4 Byron Skinner If in uniform politely stand, as best as In could at my seat and render a hand salute as the family is leaving and the casket is being removed. When the process is over, politely sit back down and wait your turn to leave the aircraft. Saying anything demeans your uniform and your service. If not in uniform stand and remain silent until the event is over then sit back down. Again nothing verbal.

I would stand up and glare at those booing until the family of the deceased had left the plane. Then words would be said.

Verbally inform them they were being self centered and disrespectful

I would clap as loud and long for that family. Then start yelling at the top of my lings that the rest of the passengers should be ashamed of themselves for the entire walk to the baggage pick up point. Their right to "Freedom of Speech" was gaurnteed by that family's loss. Some sympathy and respect must be shown for that family, not the behavior of that church in Kansas.

I would not be very nice and tell them to shut the F*** Up. The first one who says something back I know that I will be up in their face asking them what have they done of the United States. I probably would hope that they took a swing at me so that I could beat the crap out of them. Sorry if this offends anyone due to violence but I am tired of the disrespect that America has towards military, police, firemen and teachers. I have been in the military and taught in an inter city school. i am now retired due to being sent to the hospital 2X by students punching me. The first I do not remember going down. It is time to fight back by all of us and volunteer for candidates who will defend the Constitution and President Trump. I will totally support and prior military member who runs and is a Conservative Republican. I want testing out of our schools, bring back a moment of silence and allow student to say a short prayer, make everyone recite the pledge of allegiance each day. We need to teach our children about laws and respect. Until this is done we will continue to have planes full of ignorant individuals who only care about themselves.

i would pick out the biggest male booer and tell him to stfu. i would then call “attention” because there were bound to be other vets on the plane. “Hand Salute” while the family passed.

I hope they like having their faces permanently planted to the windows of that plane. We all have that fight or flight syndrome when shit goes down. I'm sorry. I believe that violence solves all issues; Id take everyone that boo's, by their hair, drag them out of the plane like caveman style, and beat them like I was paid to do it while listening to the Star Spangled Banner.

There are many great response here so there is no need. I feel my response would be confrontational but professional. Great Topic!
