This is part of the problem.
Way too many people are willing to just stand by and say nothing when things like this happen.
Example:
Years ago my wife and I had gone to a midnight movie.
While standing in line, there were a couple of 20 year olds in front of us.
The conversation they were having was sprinkled with some language that I don't use around my wife or women in general.
After listening to them, for some time, I finally asked them to knock it off.
All of sudden other people in line, started saying things like "Thanks", "It's about time", etc.
I looked around and asked them how come they didn't say something, instead of waiting for someone else.
Very awkward silence, until the doors to the movie opened.

she wasn't following directions?
just didn't know?
overwhelmed traveling with two young children?
Any number of reasons. Bottom line, umbrella strollers get gate checked.
But, one good thing about this thread is you and Rune are buddies and agree on something.
I suspect that if either of you and Rune got on a plane and couldn't put your carry on luggage up top because there was an umbrella stroller taking up space you would have a shit fit.
THERE WAS ZERO NEED FOR HER TO HAVE HER UMBRELLA STROLLER ONBOARD THE PLANE. SHE OVERREACTED AS WOMEN ARE WONT TO DO

She was gonna leave it in the aisle where someone would trip and break a leg or stow it overhead where it would fall down and brain somebody. Either way the airline gets sued for millions. AA was right to take it from her.

She's a brainless bimbo and figured if anyone challenged her, all she has to do is shout SEXISM.

OH, PLEASE.
Show anything that would verify that she was gonna leave it in the aisle where someone would trip and break a leg or stow it overhead where it would fall down and brain somebody.
Are you aware that the overhead storage doors are latched closed?

The media cartels are treating this incident like that doctor that got beat up by United. That was entirely different. The doc had paid for his ticket and done nothing wrong and they attacked him!! Here the passenger was clearly at fault for bringing the damn stroller.

I don't know if these particular storage doors were latchable or not but who cares? Half the people don't use the latches anyway. THINK

YEAH; like they did in NEW YORK, in 1964, where that woman was being raped and then murdered while the pedestrians just kept walking past.
March 13, 1964 | New York Woman Killed While Witnesses Do Nothing
On March 13, 1964, a 28-year-old woman named Catherine “Kitty” Genovese was raped and killed in two separate late-night attacks near her home in Kew Gardens, Queens. Police found that at least 38 people had seen the attacks or heard Genovese scream, but no one intervened and just one woman called the police.
The story was barely reported until two weeks later, when Martin Gansberg covered it in vivid detail in The New York Times: “For more than half an hour 38 respectable, law-abiding citizens in Queens watched a killer stalk and stab a woman in three separate attacks in Kew Gardens,” Gansberg wrote. “Twice their chatter and the sudden glow of their bedroom lights interrupted him and frightened him off. Each time he returned, sought her out, and stabbed her again. Not one person telephoned the police during the assault; one witness called after the woman was dead.”
Gansberg detailed why some of the witnesses hadn’t acted. One said that he “didn’t want to get involved,” while another said, “without emotion,” according to Gansberg, “I was tired. I went back to bed.”
The article ignited outrage against the 38 residents. Pundits proclaimed that it was an example of society’s moral decay; on the 40th anniversary of the attack, Jim Rasenberger wrote in The Times that “the case quickly expanded into an all-consuming metaphor for the ills of contemporary urban life.” Psychologists coined the term “Genovese syndrome” to explain why people are less likely to act in an emergency if others are present.
The Kitty Genovese episode became infamous, but later examination found that Gansberg had exaggerated details and presented a misleading perspective of the witnesses’ actions. All but one of the witnesses likely saw or heard only the first attack, after which Genovese walked away, giving the impression that she was all right. The second attack took place out of view of most people. Only one man saw the attack. He told another woman to call the police, but it was too late to save Genovese.
The witnesses, wrote Rasenberger, “reacted as they reportedly did not because they were apathetic or cold-hearted, but because they were confused, uncertain and afraid.”

In April 2010, a homeless man named Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax died on a street in Queens after being stabbed while intervening in an argument. A number of people walked by him as he lay dying on the street. The New York Times reported, “One man bent down to the sidewalk to shake the man, lifting him to reveal a pool of blood before walking away. Two men appeared to have a conversation about the situation, one pausing to take a photo of the body before departing. But the rest merely turned their heads toward the body, revealing some curiosity as they hurried along.” The article also noted that, “in New York, as in most other states, there is no legal obligation for a bystander to help someone in distress.”
In your opinion, what causes people to turn a blind eye when they see others in danger? Does the indifference of passers-by say something about society in general? Do you think cases such as the death of Mr. Tale-Yax support the premise of Genovese syndrome — that a large group of people in the area creates a diffusion of responsibility that results in inaction? Why or why not?
