Apples and oranges.
The OP was poking fun at posts made in other threads that point out others stepping into action should an airplane's safety and its passengers become threatened.
On a human level, yes, of course it's abhorrent that other passengers didn't step up in this situation.
Do you understand that?

Is the only function of a FAM on a plane counter-terroristic in nature, then? They serve no LEO function?
And, if not, then who does?

Minor incident. Exaggerated. Don't let that stop you from lathering up though.

So if it's just a minor incident, mind your own business. When does it become a major incident. When should other passengers get involved?

This quote from that article is the most ridiculous thing I have read all week ... and I've even hung out in OMNI this week 
... Diana Fairechild, an authority on air travel, health and safety who runs flyana.com, a Web site for those taking to the air.
She has read of Tamera Jo Freeman's case, and takes a different view: The woman, she says, may be a victim in all of this.
"This happens because people are herded in long lines onto planes, are treated like cargo in seats smaller than those on subways, with no food, no liquids and little, badly contaminated air," she said. ...

If she was as intoxicated as the first article implies, why was she allowed on the plane in the first place? Shouldn't the airline bear culpability?
Thought so.
