Summary: A man on a United Airlines flight attacked a sleeping passenger, punching him repeatedly until his face was bruised and bloody. The suspect, Everett Chad Nelson, claimed the victim had attacked him earlier, but a witness stated Nelson’s attack lasted about a minute and the victim did not fight back. The FAA is investigating the incident, which is one of over 1,700 unruly passenger incidents reported this year.

      So which part makes me a Moron?

      The part where if someone hits me I’m going to swing back?

      The part where if there is a law enforcement official is present that I expect them to step in and stop one person from attacking another?

      The part where if an air marshal is on an air plane and two people are fighting (putting the plane and passengers at risk) I would expect the Marshall to do something?

      The part in another comment where I said something to the effect of "even if I don’t think I’ll win, which I probably wouldn’t win, I won’t go without a fight ", does that make me a moron?

      I ask because you are making the claim that my arguments (point of view) basically aren’t normal.

      Here’s a question for you: if someone hits you what would you do? Would you just sit there?
