Oh boo hoo. Serves them right for trying to bring aboard bags that were larger than allowed. From the description, it sounds like they were larger than the "spirit" of one carry on and one personal item.
I might have had sympathy for the late boarding passenger in this case if it were a standard size roller-board and a briefcase or purse (ie, personal item). Not a "large backpack and an even larger suitcase".
That will never be me because I never carry anything huge onto the plane.
