Another airline that punished the victim of verbal attack instead of the person guilty of verbal attack

Must be the act of a PILOT that can’t tell right from wrong AGAIN!

The British police say they are investigating a white man who berated a black woman with racist comments on a Ryanair plane last week, adding that they plan to turn over their findings to the Spanish authorities.

The police in Essex, a county in southeast England, said on Tuesday that they had identified both passengers in the “racially aggravated incident,” which occurred on Friday while the airplane was still on the tarmac in Barcelona.

A video of the tirade, in which the British man called the woman a “stupid, ugly cow” and an “ugly black bastard,” was recorded by a fellow passenger and has been viewed millions of times since it was posted online.

Flight attendants forced the woman, not the man, to move, and Ryanair’s handling of the episode was intensely criticized, with people urging a boycott of the Dublin-based budget airline and British lawmakers calling for action.

The man started ranting at the woman, Delsie Gayle, while he was in the aisle, after he tried to get past her to sit by the window. Ms. Gayle, who has arthritis, apparently did not get up as quickly as he wanted, so he started to point his finger in her face, and she told him to stop, she said in an interview with ITV News on Monday.

The video by the fellow passenger, David Lawrence, captures the moments when the man, seated near a window, berated and bullied the woman, ordering her to move. In addition to the insults, he told her not to speak to him in a “foreign language,” though Ms. Gayle, who was born in Jamaica, was speaking English.

“I feel very low,” she said in the interview. “He paid a fare to go on holiday, I’ve paid mine, so why does he abuse me for that due to the color of my skin?”

Once the flight attendants moved the woman, the plane eventually took off from Barcelona, and the man apparently did not face any immediate consequences.

Mayor Ada Colau of Barcelona said on Facebook on Tuesday that the city would take legal action.

“Above all, we want to express our solidarity with the victim and our repudiation, not just of the racist, shameless, rude man that perpetrated this act of violence and hate, but also of the company for making the woman move seats, rather than the person guilty of the verbal attack, who deserved to be removed from the plane and taken straight to a police station,” she said.

Exactly verbal attack is violence that deserved to be punished, not supported by punishing the victim of verbal violence. Such outrageous things happened only in airlines because of pilots in charged.

Stupid sinkies and mudland RATS dogs and bitches that don’t understand what is the difference between solidarity and pity can read this paragraph to find out.
