Freedom of expression. Delights some, angers others.
I place no stickers, banners, patches, etc. on my bag, vehicles, and so forth. I am not a traveling billboard for any brand, belief, or organization (come to think of it, I even de-badge my vehicles, just for looks though
). Also keeps those that cannot handle freedom of expression from getting all riled up and maybe doing not so nice things to your food and drink or other fun things.

I think we can all envision how this scenario may have played out in the cabin.
It is common professional courtesy -- and even written policy at some airlines -- that non-revs and DHer's deplane last, after all the paying customers.
I can't count the number of times I have seen crewmembers sitting mid-cabin jump up, take their several bags out of the overheads on both sides of the aisle, and build their bomb stack right there in the middle of the aisle, holding up 50 paying passengers who are trying to deplane.
Admittedly, if I am close to check-in time, or running like hell for my bus home, I will step into the aisle to retrieve my stuff from the bins; but only when there is a break in the action upstream. And then, if I see a passenger approaching me, I step back into the seat area to let him or her by, before continuing to gather my belongings.
In this situation, the pilot's wife was waiting for him curbside. I don't think it would have killed either of them to wait an extra five minutes to let all the passengers deplane first.
Again, this is all speculation on my part, but from years of observation, I can guess what might have happened.
Nonetheless, any physical assault on any other human being, other than in self-defense, is unacceptable.
And that includes the pilot's whacking the passenger's hand and knocking his phone out of it, although I agree that the attempt by the passenger to photograph the pilot's badge was indeed a security violation.

Everybody is entitled?
And we've never seen a (paying) pax hold up 100 pax?
We've never seen a DB put his bag in an overhead and sit 25 rows further back?
It takes two to tango.
All Mr Righteous needed to do was file a written complaint with the airline after the fact.
Include a description and seat number if you must. ( roll eyes)
No...Mr Righteous had to chase him down.
That's threatening behavior right there.
After that shove, that's assault.
All bets are off.
Uniform or not lol.
