[@22lyric]

We don't judge crimes by saying there are WORSE CRIMES! And I imagine a lot of reasons people didn't try to stop him. Making things worse, getting hurt, getting sued... We can all say we would have done something, and some would. But you don't know until you're in that situation.

[@sophocles1198]

A lot of you are comparing this to the Penny situation. Both Penny and Galofaro used a choke hold. Both had the help of (two) other people. The difference is, Galofaro let go of his neck and the guy is still alive. Penny didn't know when to let go. If three guys could restrain this methhead on a plane without killing him, why couldn't three guys restrain Neely without killing him?

[@lilcupc4k3s]

So many people talking about the flight attendants doing nothing have no clue what they were actually doing and are assuming they’re supposed to just go tackle the guy. The crew is not supposed to put themselves in a position of being injured if the guy decides to strike them. Abas are supposed to restrain the guy while the cuffs are put on him. The only thing crew did wrong was allow the guy to be strapped to the seat. If there was an emergency evacuation, he wouldn’t be able to get up and exit on his own

[@Crazy-Clown-In-Town]

No loss if he can’t evacuate.

[@lilcupc4k3s]

@ you say that until it’s someone you know and love battling an addiction. The guy didn’t harm anyone. He still deserves to live. And the airlines would still prefer to have everyone survive

So you think those two things are mutually exclusive? That's like saying people choose to be homeless yet a lot of them have mental health issues that predate their homelessness. Plenty of people start using drugs because of preexisting mental issues. It's not one or the other.
