Intoxicated passenger filmed fighting JetBlue staff at airport

[left-of-center2012]

An airline passenger has been arrested for disorderly intoxication, resisting officers and assaulting police after getting into a confrontation with a JetBlue employee — and later cops — at the Orlando International Airport.

The aggressive traveler, who was traveling with his 8-year-old son, was arrested Sunday evening after the Orlando Police Department received multiple calls about an intoxicated individual at the airport’s Gate 3, according to an arrest affidavit obtained from the Orlando PD’s public information officer.

A JetBlue employee who spoke with police said the intoxicated man, identified as Brandon Strong of Utah, had verbally harassed a female passenger and was told he would not be able to fly that day. He then began to wrestle with the JetBlue employee, while other passengers jumped in to try to hold him back.

Strong’s son was looked after by JetBlue employees until a member of his family arrived.

1. Poor kid, with a dad like that.

According to the article, "Strong was transported to the Orange County Jail, per the arrest affidavit, but continued to lash out, telling police he would “come after [the officer] with everything he’s got” and claiming he had connections to the White House." That's very unlikely, but just claiming he does suggests he's a Trumpazoid on top of everything else that's wrong with him.

3. It started when he was

harassing a female passenger. Then he moved on to remove magazine rounds from the officer’s holster <--- A black man would have been shot for that.
