Woman hurls a desk top computer at MIA Gate Agent

In typical MIA fashion, a woman allowed her two small children to wonder away and apparently blamed the gate agent. When said gate agent wouldn't go to find her lost children, the woman picked up the gate agent's desk top and hurled it at the gate agent.

I can't get the actual link to post but this was on MSN.com

Given how professionally the woman was dressed, I’d never have suspected any inappropriate behavior from such a person.

The data indicates as much. MIA - the hub of pretty much every misbehaving idiot.

There are plenty of well dressed loons too. And plenty of people not wearing professional attire that can behave like adults.

What happens to people like this? They should be banned for life but I suspect that the penalty is far less.

Her clothing was trashy.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…

Mother asking for help to find kids at Miami airport injures airline employee, police

A woman who was involved in a violent outburst caught on camera at Miami International Airport, faced a bond court judge on Wednesday.

Camila McMillie was at an American Airlines counter after missing her connecting flight to New York City on Tuesday when she said her two children had vanished at Miami International Airport, according to police.



McMillie, 25, of Birmingham, Alabama, asked American Airlines employees for help with finding her kids, and she became “irate” and then turned “violent,” according to the police report.

Surveillance video shows she took the boarding pass reader off the wooden counter, grabbed a computer monitor from the counter, and threw it at one of the airline’s agents, according to police.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer detained McMillie at about 11:30 a.m., at the airport’s North Terminal’s Concourse D and police officers arrested her and took her to jail.

I like the reindeer antlers on the gate agent. IMO they really add to the holiday spirit vibe of the whole video.
