Well it’s not like the news didn’t attempt to tell both sides. They chose not to tell their side, possibly on the advice of council.
...much less a hand, or a fist, or a foot, or a metal sign...
Watching the video, it looks like the attackers weren't originally even close to the counter. I disagree that the airline employees even may have instigated anything.
I wouldn't get too wrapped up in mugshots. Often the corrections officers taking the pictures will joke around with the arrestee to get a more natural look in the picture. The girl on the right, in particular, looks like she's laughing at something the person taking the picture said.
Yes, they were nasty. Fortunately I don't think they represent a big segment of the population, but behavior like these girls exhibited certainly does bring them out of the woodwork.
Curious as to why you think this is Spirit’s fault?
It isn't Spirit's fault. It's more related to some (not most) of the type of customers that Spirit attracts.
Nah, if that were the case I don't think many people would hesitate to shout to the rooftops what provoked them. I mean do you really think so? They were asked what happened and they simply said they were trying to get home. They had the opportunity to lay blame on the airline and didn't. My gut feeling is whatever they had going on emotionally it was amplified by a delay in flight (which we've all seen how that can ignite tempers..well at least if you fly enough you'll see it at least once). They resorted to a physical altercation. It appears they probably want to keep quiet now so as not to further implicate themselves in more wrong-doing.
