How would you react if you were on a flight where a family was boo'd for being allowed off the plane first to receive their soldier's body?

In today's climate of such civil discourse I would probably be arrested/detained for my actions.

I would be fired up mad to say the least. The airlines could had put the family up front as well, making it easier for them to leave the AC. I have had the somber occasion to be on a domestic flight, where the piolet advised everyone that there was a VIP on board with their escort and asked everyone to stay seated until the remains were removed from the storage hold and escort left the plane.

OMG!! I would probably go upto the first boo-er and ouch him/her in the throat as an example to others. In this case, it’s worth being arrested for assault, even on a female. Total disrespect and disregard for human life and the ultimate sacrifice for which allows them to be able to sit on a plane.

I am afraid that I would lay out the first offender I could reach with a huge from the floor to the ceiling sucker punch. But then again I have anger issues.

I am afraid that I would go off on their a** and remind them who is protecting their ability to do the things they enjoy doing and living in a free world where they can do those things.

I'm afraid they would receive a lecture on respect while awaiting their departure.

Not well I suspect, but I would at least try to explain to the idiots why they were given priority.

By responding either verbally or physically you only escalate the situation. The boorish bastard wants attention, don't give him what he wants. If you get within 10 feet of the clown he will probably start screaming that he has been assaulted in that case if you have the name, play the game and make sure you do a good job. I would also try to contact the family and offer them an apology for the idiot's behavior. Write them a note, give it to an airline employee and ask that it be delivered to the family.

Chances are very good that a large can of whoop ass would have been opened up by me on those showing disrespect and I would be sitting in the local jail before it was over.
I live in a city that thankfully is very thankful for our military and veterans alike. Our city govt stands with us and not against us.
But I digress, there is no question about it, things would have become physical on my part very fast with idiots that want to disrespect a gold star family. I would also have some very choice words for the pilot and assistant pilot for not making an announcement over the p.a. system in the aircraft as to what and why is going on concerning this family.

I pray look at them and say really and I even stand up and say cut it out.. It's a what if that was somebody you loved.. I can tell you I would be Irritated...
