| Miami Traveler Allegedly Slaps Air Marshal | |||||
| 2004-06-09 | |||||
A plane passenger slapped a federal air marshal after refusing to sit down and ignoring instructions to end her cellular phone call, which she said would have been "rude," prosecutors said Tuesday. Lilia Belkova has been jailed since being charged with assaulting a federal officer and interfering with a flight crew last Wednesday as a US Airways flight prepared to take off from Miami to Philadelphia.

| #20 Damn human rights... I guess a not so "minor swelling" on her backside would have been appropriate, don't you think? At the very least, put her arrogant backside on a "no-fly" list for quite a long time... |

| #19 Yeah, Murat's still around. Posted an article couple days back. Aris comes around, even after swearing off coming here. Annie Moose, you may probably feel being piled upon, but we here at Rantburg really value our foreign commentators who are HONEST patriots. TGA is simply one of the best, period. Top flight. The way he graciously overlooked your comment, resting on his reputation with everyone else, shows he's got more class in his little pinky finger than everyone in Belgium and Paris. *sighs* and I miss Bulldog. How IS he doing? |

| #18 TGA - I don't know what you said either, but I doubt it merited her post. Thanks for being one of the best posters here on Rantburg. Annie Moose - Please try to play nice here. TGA isn't one of the trolls, far from it. Neither is Aris (although I rarely if ever agree with anything he says), and occasionally even Murat (is he still alive?) says something worthwhile. Stick around a little bit and get to know the regulars before you light into someone....especially someone as respected around here as TGA. |

| #17 Well it looks like a professional translation to me... unfortunately the translator is not mentioned. |

| #16 TGA: Does the english translation of The Art of Controversy line up to the original german? |

| #15 Thanks Classical_Liberal... Schopenhauer is always a great read. |

| #14 Like the sign says, Madam Moose: "Civil, well reasoned discourse". If Fred were running Slash you'd find yourself modded down in to the basement with a long climb back up. Speaking of Slash and Slashdot, I came across this useful guide to trolling phenomena. Think of it as Schopenhauer's Die Kunst, Recht zu behalten (The Art Of Controversy) for the blog age. See, there was a German angle to this. Oh, and welcome back TGA, Don't mind Miss Moose. |

| #9 Whoa! Chill out, Annie Moose! TGA is LITERALLY a true German ally! He was being facetious here! You gotta hang around a bit and get to know the personalities here before you launch into somebody. Put the flamethrower back in the closet! |

| #8 hey, german "alley". I want to take up something that you lied and slandered about last week; namly this: NEVER, I repeat NEVER, in the history OF THIS WORLD, were prisoners of war treated better than germen prisoners of war during World War II. IN THE HISTORY OF THIS WORLD. You obviously haven't asked any of them, have you? Its called the Christian ethic of the golden rule. Have you heard that one? Hmmm, also it escapes you that the German legacy of that war, on the part of germans, is 1) the deliberate attacking of civilians in the form of mass murdering bombings of cities, such as Coventry, London, etc. 2) summary execution of unarmed civilians. #3) summary executions of unarmed civilians for "suspected collaboration", such as islamonazis do now. The japanese follwed suit. Where was your precious Geneva convention then? You showed that a people could abandon the mutual humanitarian benefit derived from compliance with the Geneva accords. The care for those mutual benefits was, or is, the incentive for compliance with Geneva. You guys broke all the rules first to achieve "total war" and the murder of all who did not submit to NaziEuropean Slavery. Sounds like Islam, naturlich! Islamic terrorism is the Western exported foreign legacy to a people otherwise too small minded to ever think of it on their own. Vielen Dank, for all the false Piety! So just stay your lilly-white, aryan ass off this discussion, till you can account for yourself, instead of indicting others; yet another Christian ethic, absent from your Psyche |

| #5 Damn--how come I never get to experience a delay like this that I can understand and appreciate? |

| #4 "No doubt to the cheers of the other passengers." I can picture it now in my mind. |

| #3 Nice job by the Marshal, the most vunerable time for a plane is near takeoff and landings. I can see how terrorists could use a lead signal from a cell phone to plot or triangulate a hit on the plane. |

| #2 what a twit - i guess she is special since the rest of us (for the most part) follow the instructions. not too mentioned the twit caused the marshall to be id... |
