This bad behavior on planes has to stop.....

I really "like" the way the moronic reporters say the younger woman threw the older woman to the ground after the older woman asked her to wear her mask properly. How convenient that they don't mention the older fool poking the woman with the bottom of her cane - which is the filthiest part of it.

It looked to me like the older woman was using her cane to try and keep the younger woman back after the younger woman approached her. If I were an older, frail woman and I’d had a cane I’d have done the same thing.

Regardless, the younger woman’s vicious response was inexcusable, and I hope she’s prosecuted and had to pay for the medical bills
 

There was a little more on CNN.

The man said Cornwall was returning from a restroom at the back of Delta Flight 2790 but a flight attendant conducting beverage service blocked the aisle, according to the complaint.
When Cornwall asked the flight attendant to help her find her seat, the flight attendant requested that she find an open seat until beverage service was complete, the complaint says.
"(Cornwall) responded to the flight attendant, 'What am I Rosa Parks?'" the complaint says.
The male passenger said he "told Cornwall it was an inappropriate comment and that she 'isn't black....this isn't Alabama and this isn't a bus,' " according to the complaint.
The man then purportedly told Cornwall to "sit down Karen," according to the complaint.
The court document says a verbal back and forth ensued, before Cornwall allegedly hit R.S.M

That Karen certainly started with an entitled attitude.

Well, you would have lots of time to think about whether it was a good idea.
Fractures take much longer to heal in older people.

I'm with you on this one, totally a defensive posture by the old woman. Even arguendo, if it was an actual assault by the old woman, the amount of force used by the younger as a so called defense was 100% unjustified and illegal.
 
The man on the plane is in his 80's... I know after reading @RadishRose link..that there was a bit of verbal back and forth between the 2... but what sort of mentality wants to raise a fist to an old man , and especially in full view of witnesses... . She'd already slapped him, and spat right in his face.. if she'd landed that punch she might have caused a serious head injury..

There are so many that simply have no COMMON sense.....
if you make a scene anywhere anymore chances are someone if not more then some have it on video.

I attribute this behavior to lack of self control reminds me of the lack of IMPULSE control of either children or substance abusers.

I see it more all the time a person over reacts to any situation and has no thought process to realize... your in a hole ...QUIT digging.
 
Can anyone find what charges, if any, were filed against that woman in Hackensack? That was March, 2020.

As far as I know that claim no has legal basis in any U.S. Jurisdiction, it's basically a Nusaince suit.

I would hope not.. but she's suing apparently due to the fact that quote '' The lawsuit alleges Staples was negligent in not providing security at the Hackensack store, which court papers describe as “a high crime area.”

Stunned to learn the 'old lady'' is just 55 years old....

It's probably based on the doctrine of "Foreseeability", that is, Staples knew or should have known (foresee) that customers could be robbed/assaulted due to it being a high crime area, and should have provided security. If it is settled, it will probably pay her medical bills + a few make it well bucks!

No doubt Staples' Attorneys will argue "Assumption of Risk" on her part. Meaning if she knew it was a high crime area and the store had no security, she "Assumed the risk" of shopping there.

Makes ya wonder why she needed a liver transplant. Often, when someone isn't very old & their liver gives out, it's due to drugs & alcohol.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was her case.

Does anyone else notice a trend some of these incidents are on different media for a few days but almost no follow through
to see "the rest of the story" you can sometimes google and try to find what happened but often that just leads no where. perhaps they made a deal and a slap on the wrist.
Think this type incident should be followed so MAYBE the next person sees throwing a fit is not worth it.

She lost her balance?? Are you kidding me? The young woman GRABBED the cane and yanked…HARD. It’s clear in the video.

That's right. Stick up for the agitator! I didn't view the video before I responded, I admit but I'd seen it a couple of times when the incident first happened on the news. Point is...she had no business sticking her filthy cane on someone's person. When the young woman grabbed the cane and yanked...did she expect the outcome? Maybe not. We have a saying where I come from..."Don't start none...won't be none". What the older woman did was uncalled for and I will not give her a pass because she's a senior. I would never do what she did to someone!
