Passenger demanding priority boarding - on the internet for ever?

Article in the UK press.

Here's the thing though, while the behavior as it appears on video is quite simply wrong, there are times I have behaved in a way while stressed, upset about other events, etc. etc. that I would be absolutely ashamed of if recorded and posted on the internet. In such cases, I have always taken time to reflect on what I did that was inappropriate and think about how I might behave in such a way in the future. This guy could of course be just behaving in the same way as he conducts his whole life. Alternatively, this could be a real outlier for a decent individual who was having a really bad day. We just don't know. Nevertheless, without that context, he will be judged and even possibly lose his job.
