Someone forwarded me video of a woman attacking staff at a Frontier Airlines check-in counter in Orlando when she was denied boarding, just hours after it occurred. It was so gruesome I have held off on writing about it for several days. But I cannot simply ignore what constitutes one of the most brutal travel-related attacks of the year and a very tragic showcase of a mother abusing her precious children by subjecting them to a tragically unsafe environment of violence and foul language.
Derelict Mother Attacks Frontier Airlines Staff While Children Watch Nearby
A mother tries to check-in at a Frontier Airlines counter in Orlando, Florida (MCO) and is told she cannot travel, likely indicating she is on Frontier’s do-not-fly list, a list reserved for passengers who refuse to wear masks or engage in other bad behavior onboard.
She responds by walking behind the counter, striking the agent, then throwing a keyboard at her. The woman walks away from the counter, but returns a moment later, picks up a metal pole used to designate lines, and tries to throw it at Frontier employees.
Thankfully, a police officer shows up, pulls her away, and the video stops.
You can watch the NSFW video here. Be warned, there is a lot of profanity and violence.
That’s horrible, but what is really horrible is what occurred during the brawl.
The woman’s daughter yells:
“Mommy, I don’t want you to go to jail.”
Her mother responds:
“I’m going to f*ck this b*tch up.”
The daughter continues to sob, pleading with her mother to stop. Meanwhile, her bother just stands there and quietly watches, as if this is a commonplace occurrence.
How horrible this is. How horrible to be captured on video for all to see, but how important that we can look at this video, condemn what occurred, and hopefully hold this derelict mother accountable for what I view as child abuse.
And while it is easy for us to sit from our comfortable perches and condemn this mother without having any idea of the sort of burdens and trials she has encountered in life, no burden and no trial can excuse her conduct.
This is the most degrading, disgusting behavior I’ve ever seen at an airport, and that is saying a lot. It’s not even primarily about physically attacking a gate agent with fists or computer keyboards or poles. It’s the fact that this was done in front of her young and impressionable children, as her daughter begged her to stop.
Life is tough, perhaps tougher than I could ever imagine. But we cannot make excuses for what occurred. There is no justification.
And while I lay the primary blame down on the disgruntled mother, who the heck egged her on like that? Who cursed her out in front of her children and taunted her to attack, needlessly riling her up in what was already a difficult situation? If that is a Frontier Airlines employee, that employee should be FIRED. No second chances.
When I look at what occurred, my heart breaks. Those dear children do not deserve to grow up in that environment. Hopefully there are grandparents or aunts or uncles who can take them in…
I have no other words but my heart breaks in sadness.
I’m with you. Listening to that little girl scream especially when the cop finally shows up just rips your heart out. I literally have tears in my eyes.
This woman is crazy. I feel bad for the kids. I totally agree though that the frontier employee cursing on the video should be fired. Not only for continuing to instigate but also for using that language in front of children. No excuse. I want to know who that “Puerto Rican” is in the video (as said in Spanish by the coworker) and write a letter to frontier. That employee needs to be fired. What a disgrace.
The second time she walked behind the counter all the employees should have jumped her. I am not kidding. I have already made my decision that if someone gets physical with me I am not going to take it.
The kids will grow up the same way but the causes of their behavior will get focused on other things and I am definitely putting it diplomatically……
If she acts like that in public, imagine what she is like at home……
Those poor children, they have a tough road ahead.
The woman is a lunatic…Frontier employee- with adrenaline rushing as a crazed person attacks you and your colleague- I mean come on, no problem rebuking a trash human being. Something tells me the assailant would not have responded to much in the way of calm conversation or deescalation. Perhaps, as a society, more direct action against these people is what is actually needed. Sometimes you have to meet idiocy with idiocy. If anything, one of the Frontier employees should have given her a direct taste of her own medicine with free keyboard…..
B!tch needs to go back to the ghetto!.
13% of the population commits 53% of the unprovoked violent attacks. We have to stop kidding ourselves about which groups are responsible for 90% of the problems. When some say there are millions of bad white people, that is true. That’s 10 million out of 200 million in the United Sates . When some say there are millions of bad blacks, that’s 40 million out of 50 million. Decent people have a selection bias because they of course will naturally associate with the 10 million (20%). They make excuses and say race doesn’t matter when 40 million (80%) show us otherwise. We are all individuals but each group when added up forms an average. We can’t lie to ourselves that the group that is 13% of the population is the average worst in every category.
Something we can all agree on – even the FBI has proclaimed domestic right-wing (white) terrorists the biggest thread to the country. And it’s majority white Republicans denying the legitimate 2020 election, assaulting our nation’s Capitol, suppressing POC vote, and denying climate change (see the embarrassing Sen. Ron Johnson today).
That’s right…the biggest threats to the future of our country…are all white (Right) people.
Go back into your basement. Blacks are 13% of the population and commit 53% of the unprovoked violent attacks. The FBI is the biggest perpetrator of injustice in the last 50 years and complicit in ignoring mountains of evidence that Dems used big black cities to pile in hundreds of thousands of votes in each. Conservative leaders are weaklings for not withdrawing their support on every level for the FBI. There is no nation. There is no people. There is no language. There is no culture. There are no customs. There are whites. There are blacks. There are other groups. And we are all incompatible. If you love blacks so much, why don’t you live with them in their areas. Leftists like you wouldn’t last 12 hours. Have you been to Times Square lately or 8th Avenue? You seem content to flagellate yourself.
What a bunch of rubbish. Of course the poster has no facts to back them up. Instead they rely on “feeeeeeeeeeeelings” from a bunch of woke corrupt entrenched career bureaucrats.
They actually think this is true #deluded. Want some facts?? A certain 13% of our population commits 50% of homicides. Of that 13% I would say over 95% are males. What you have here is about 6.5% of the population committing almost 50% of the homicides.
Now when those kids grow up to be out of control anti social miscreants and end getting knocked up with out any support of the male who will sire The next out of control parasitic generation that will be blamed by these silly Jabronis on evil whitey.
You think there is a dad in this home?? Doubt it given that, according to government statistics, 75% of a certain demographic has no dad in the home. But I guess I am a white supremicist for pointing that out.
The poster probably lives in Manhattan perhaps in a rent controlled apartment. Maybe they live in a place like Park Slope, Forest Hills or even the suburbs. You can bet your ass they don’t live in East NewYork, Bed Sty, Jamaica, Hollis, Rochdale and on and on.
These are the worst kind of hypocrites……
These are the kinds of people who voted for Wilhelm Werner aka DeBozio. They think he is doing a great job. If only they had a business themselves that was looted and burned to the ground. If only they had a family member that was viscously attacked by the usual suspects.
You see what happened in Chicago over the July 4th weekend?? In Oakland?? Have a look at the video off the Nieman Marcus that was looted in downtown San Francisco the other day. Have a look. Did you see a bunch of evil blonde haired blue eyed devils?? I didn’t. But according to this simp it’s right wing nut jobs because Jim Comey told them so
The problems with this kind of statistics are 1) what’s the point, and 2) they’re usually presented without context. For example, 90% of murderers in the U.S. are men. First, what are we supposed to do with this number – given the overwhelming percentage, should we do something gender specific to prevent boys from becoming future murderers? Second, the way I’ve stated the statistic, with no context, seems to suggest that men are raving, blood thirst killers and that almost every one of us will go on to kill someone. What the statement lacked is the fact that a miniscule percentage of the population are actually murderers. I recall reading a post on Quora that estimated the percentage of Americans who are murderers to be something like 0.0046%. Given this context, you realize that the odds of a man being a murderer is microscopic.
Was she arrested, it seems an assault charge would be the least of her problems? I feel pain for the little girl, not knowing what is going on. She will live with this for a long time.
Still Florida, but at least it wasn’t Miami!
What I don’t understand is who was “video ready” to film this person? Was this a phone video or a body warn cam? I am not excusing this person’s conduct at all, but why (it seems) was apparently a Gate Agent or Security Staff already filming before this incident kicked off? Since when did check-in Agents start wearing live body-cams to film passengers at check-in? Clearly he checks in another passenger stating “you are ready to go” so it appears to be an Agent filming activities on a live video stream. Doesn’t this raise privacy issues? Or was this a pre-prepared setup?
Interesting scenario.
As far as privacy issues are concerned, you have no expectation of privacy in public. NONE. Anywhere I am allowed to be, I can record anything I can see even if it’s into private property. The eyes cannot be trespassed. Now whether or not it’s cool to have an airline employee video is another thing. We are still not certain who took this video are we?
It seems the guy holding the camera stated “you are ready to go” the stepped out of his area to film this lady. He also inadvertandly captured the lady with the dog checking in too. So appears to be an airline employee. As for privacy, it is one thing to capture for private use but another to publish globally. In some countries, this could be deemed as an offence. Did the lady with the dog wish to be featured globally for no good reason and why was (allegedly) a Gate Agent carrying a pre-prepared camera? These are the issues that passengers need to be wary of…. airlines filming us and publishing?
MJ I have no idea where you are from but please read the above. In the USA you have NO expectation of privacy in public. PERIOD. That’s the law. Many police are ignorant of this fact as well.
The airport is a public setting. Believe it or not onboard the aircraft is even considered public property. I was very surprised when I had this confirmed by a major airlines legal department.
One may not have any “expectation of privacy” in The USA correct, but does the publication of photos or videos globally online extend this right, which may erroneously implicate or associate innocent 3rd parties in relation to such an incident have any credence? What would happen if such a 3rd Party was French and so published in France, where Privacy laws are much more stringent? Meantime, at what point is it ethical for alleged Gate Agents to publish online videos of their Customers via apparent personal accounts, so to make a statement? It is pretty clear that whoever made this video came from behind the Desk and moved away from their duty to film this incident. Indeed the conduct was disgraceful, but the real issue here is why can a supposed Employee think it is ethical to film and record voices then publish this at will?
4th Amendment is just faded words on paper written by rich slave owners 250 years ago. It is not relevant. NSA has every email and phone conversation made for the past 10 years stored in a city beneath the surface at Ogden. This is for the protection of the deep state. Every time you log into public wifi you push a button giving away your rights. Not only is there zero privacy in a public place you have zero privacy in your own home. TV’s with cameras and cell phones all capable of monitoring everything. It all goes to Ogden to be used against you in the future if needed.
With what the population has been thru the past 18 months, patience has worn thin. Blacks have a lower tolerance for rules and norms. Was she Vaxxed? This behavior of vaxxed population will become the norm as these people realize what has been done to them.

TSA should not allow people on the “no fly list” past security.
I just feel so sorry for those kids, especially the little girl (rightly) getting so upset and distraught. This is the result of the mother herself probably experiencing a lifetime of “reaction” when things don’t go right or to their liking – screaming, yelling, cursing, violence is the answer under all uncomfortable situations – multiply this x millions and you want people of other races to assimilate with this ??….. send your kids to the same schools as this ??, work next to people like this ?? Other races can’t run far enough away.
I feel this rage against the machine constantly. What if every white person self corrected every wrong? Starting with the government confiscating 50% of our earnings and then using the money to conduct wars against innocents across the world. This behavior will spread as a population simply refuses further control by the 1%.
Just another day out with mom! Is it any wonder they loot, burn, shoot and vandalize? They have no sense of right and wrong, because they have never seen it demonstrated at home. Yet the government claims “white supremacists” are the biggest threat?! LOL right!
Why does this always seem to happen in either Florida, or Texas? Just sayin….
black Lives Matter. She was upset for being delayed on her way to a peaceful protest or a Biden rally. She should be banned for life from any airline or airport. A little chain gang time will bring her to her senses I’ll bet.
@Matthew – seems like the racists are out in full force (as I predicted in the OMAAT comments)…sorry they have taken over your blog in addition to VFTW.
@UA-NYC,
Can’t you ever admit what statistics prove instead of taking a one-sided, save the world approach? People being annoyed at a lack of civility and not wanting to be in amongst anti-social behavior is not being racist. I think everyone can agree that bad behavior happens in every race of people, lying, stealing, cheating, corruption –happens with every group. Get back to us when you can say you live in a depressed, crime ridden area where the majority of people are a different race as you, there is crime everywhere, one or no parent homes, graffiti, trash, filth, guns, plus, plus, plus and you still feel safe. Do yourself a favor and loosen up your choking politically correct straight jacket.
Didn’t you know that worrying about the safety of your family is racist? UA-TDS thinks the idiot LARPers of 1/6 were a dire threat to American democracy. I wonder what he thinks of Chesa Boudin and his parents.

OOOOH!! There it is. Racist!! I have nothing, no cogent fact based argument so it’s evil whitey in a hood!!! It’s pathetic!! Why don’t you comment on some of the facts dished out?? It must be soooooooo damned comfortable in that echo chamber of yours.
Would love to know where you live in New York or even if you did live within the confines of the city.
Probably voted to Werner Wilhelm and thinks he had done a great job and probably thinks his wife walks on water even though she was in charge of a “ program “ that cannot account for $800 million. Bet that’s racist as well.
Like I said pathetic. They have learned from their college professors or some street agitator to just shout racist when you are in trouble and that will paralyze your opponent with fear.
Not only are people sick to death of it, it’s lazy and dishonest.
But I am a racist…….your should give your head a major wobble but I doubt it’s possible in that echo chamber of unoriginal thoughts.
Now that new article reported what happened after the fact. Turns out this out of control miscreant is 21 years old with two young kids. Let’s say the oldest was 5. You do the math. You think the dads are around?? I would take that bet he is not. Anyone else want to take that action?? Now when these kids grow up like their out of control momma, the simps out there who see the Klan behind every tree are going to blame Whitey. When the truth is totally different.
There is a reason that first and second generation blacks who immigrate from Africa do a hell of a lot better than native born blacks who have been here for hundreds of years.
But it’s racist…….and those evil white devils are keeping them down.
“Derelict Mother“?
Umm … say what?
Racist is sooooo overused. A term of yesteryear. Get over it. A blanket excuse that means little anymore except to certain political types and racial grifters. This classless airport incident stands on its own merits and the perp deserves whatever inventive is hurled her way. I hope Frontier sues her and she gets jail time.
It is very unfortunate that a discussion about a very badly behaving person has solicited so many unnecessary, and at times incredibly cruel, discourses regarding race and politics. Let’s let this particular person’s actions speak for themselves, and attribute these qualities to her and her alone. I don’t think anyone wants to be held to account for another’s actions just because of a shared physical or cultural connection. That would be incredibly unjust, and un-American.
The children need to be taken into care and the woman executed.
As people like you are thrown off tall buildings in shariah lands? Keep hating.
