Racially charged confrontation at Reno airport captured on video

44. He could have said something and moved away.

What was getting the situation worse was that Hector wouldn't shut up, and cont'd to taunt and rag on the guy, creating an increasingly emotional situation. It's a juvenile thing to do, and unnecessary. Saying something once and walking away suffices.

Women deal with this all the time. ALL the time. If we stopped our lives to create turmoil every time a man made a rude or misogynistic remark to us, we'd never accomplish anything.

This is a testosterone alpha male thing such as road rage incidents are made of. And, remember, we do NOT know what started it. Maybe Mike did. But maybe Mike said something rude after Hector did something. We just don't know.

If I'm going to get irritated with conservatives for believing a story based on partial information, then it would be foolish of me to do the same. I think Mike may likely have started it, but I can't be sure, since that is not on tape. I DO, however, see Hector getting in Mike's face, so to speak, and hounding him...which is illegal, I believe. Nuisance, or invasion of privacy, or some misdemeanor.

Hector hounding someone in a wheelchair makes it even worse, IMO. Mike did say something rude about Hector speaking Spanish....but why? Had Hector said something to Mike before? Or done something to irritate him? Cut in line,maybe? WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

Walk away like an adult. You are not going to "win" this kind of argument. There are bad people around every day. You can't go thru life fighting them all. It's also unpleasant for those in the area. They have a right to a peaceful environment w/o two bullies yelling at each other. I include Mike in that.
