We all have our biases Galaxy. I’m biased against anyone who’s against American values and my fellow Citizen. But my bias is no better than anyone else’s…it clouds my vision too, so I try to disregard them.
I suspect that our differences on this particular issue stem from the fact that I’m looking at this from a purely legal standpoint. I know the legal definition of assault and battery. UGE is guilty of both. You’re probably just looking at some poor dumb bastard who got worse than you think he deserved…on that, we disagree.

In the civil law venue, negligence, one must also consider the “but for’ test. In this case, “but for ‘ UGE’s zealotry, this whole thing never happens.

I have also had to defend 2 of our very own EWR Pilots who were falsely accused by NYC Police. Both of whom were awarded cash settlements once fully exonerated.

I’ve been working at EWR airport since 1987, sans my active-duty time. Maybe my view is biased. But I am actively attempting to remove bias from my analysis. I suspect the next few weeks will tell.
