Lady reclines her seat on airplane. Guy behind her asks if she can stay upright while he eats. She does. He gets done eating, and she reclines again. He proceeds to punch the back of her seat repeatedly, for an extended period of time. He basically throws a baby fit...except that he is (or is supposed to be) an adult.
She paid for a reclining seat. She reclined. She is totally within her rights. That reclining space was paid for by her, not by him. The airline should have had him flagged as a disruptive passenger.
If the airline doesn't think people should recline, then the airline needs to stop selling reclining seats.
I hope the guy is found guilty of assault. There is no way this woman did anything wrong.
