71-Year-Old Grandma Kicked Off Flight, Excuse Leaves People Mad

When a 71-year-old grandma asked a flight attendant one simple question, her inquiry set off an unexpected chain reaction. Before she knew it, she was being kicked off the flight in front of her grandchildren. The airline has since issued an explanation, but it only left people boiling mad. This is terrible.

Ellen Flemming, 71, is a regular traveler who’s flown many times without a problem. So, she never expected the response she received from Air Canada staff during the flight to New Brunswick from Pearson International Airport in Toronto after she asked the flight attendant for one simple favor.

Ellen was traveling with her husband and two grandchildren when she asked the cabin crew for a simple service. It certainly wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. So, she never thought in a million years that the question would set off a chain reaction that would eventually see the plane and her life turned completely around. To her utter shock and horror, she was thrown off the flight and claims she was injured as a result…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Ellen told Inside Edition that the incident began after she noticed wet trash in the seat pocket in front of her. She called the flight attendant over and asked if he could remove it. Instead of helping, he immediately became angry and refused to do it. “He hauled himself up to his full height and said, ‘I’m a flight attendant and I don’t look after garbage,’” Ellen recalled.

The response shocked her, but she remained calm, staying seated and not making a scene. When she saw the food cart come by, she tried to dispose of the trash herself, but things quickly escalated. The flight attendant allegedly swiped her arm away, causing the trash to fly all over Ellen and her husband before hitting the floor, where she swiped it away with her foot.

Ellen was surprised at the response and unjustified reaction, but she thought the situation was finished. Sadly, things would only go from bad to worse when, moments later, she heard the pilot say the plane had to turn around and would be returning to British Columbia due to an incident.

Ellen had no idea at the time that the “incident” was her. But, when the plane landed, she found herself being escorted off the flight by the police and told she would not be allowed to fly Air Canada again. She didn’t understand why. Air Canada’s reason didn’t do much to clarify things for her either. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

According to People, the airline alleged in a letter that Ellen “exhibited aggressive behavior toward a crew member; threw garbage on the food trolley; kicked a crew member when requested to wait until the member could come back and pick up the garbage as he was serving food.” But, Ellen says this is far from the truth, and other passengers have come forward in her defense, Fox News reported.

One such traveler is Helen Hollett, who says she sat opposite Ellen and her family throughout the flight. According to Helen, she did not witness the 71-year-old woman acting aggressively at all. Instead, she says it was the flight attendant who was “irate” and “screaming” during the incident, Global News reported. “The thing is most of the passengers on that plane didn’t even know what was happening,” Helen explained. What’s more, the police seem to share the same opinion and saw no reason to proceed with a case against the grandmother, saying no criminal offenses took place.

Let’s be clear. Passengers should respect the crew, but travelers should also be shown respect in return. And, this woman did nothing wrong. Instead, this all started because someone chose to have the “it’s not my job” mindset. Would it have hurt this flight attendant to just take the trash and better this woman’s trip? Furthermore, if it’s not their job to tend to the trash, why do they come around and collect it after passing out drinks on every flight I’ve ever been on?

If this particular flight attendant thinks it’s beneath him to throw away garbage for a passenger, he needs another line of work. He doesn’t sound like he’d make that good of an employee anywhere, though.

If you are capable of doing something that makes a customer’s experience more pleasant, you should consider that your job, no matter how menial the task. This could have all been avoided if one employee had displayed that considerate mentality rather than an entitled superiority complex. Sadly, an elderly woman paid the price for his arrogance.

Man indecently abused another victim while on probation, but ‘the judge said he shouldn’t go to prison’ because of this!

Published

According to the court documents, the then-33-year-old defendant, Maurice, was first arrested for ra-ing a 16-year-old girl while serving as the manager of a restaurant.

He pleaded guilty to having se* with the underage girl in the kitchen of restaurant, which the victim said she did because “he told her to” and “he was her boss and she needed to keep her job.”

For the crime of statutory ra-e, the defendant was sentenced to a 120-day se* offender program before being released on probation. Although he completed the rehab program, this was only the beginning of the registered se* offender’s crime spree.

Just one month after he was released from the se* offending assessment unit, he brutally ra-ed the mother of his children. However, despite being found guilty of his second ra-e, the presiding judge believed he shouldn’t even touch the inside of a jail cell. Judge Holden sentenced the defendant to just five years probation for his second ra-e after his probation officer and se* abuse program counselor convinced him that he was “making progress in his counseling…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

“So the judge was able to hear from somebody who has expertise in this type of treatment, who has supervised and treated him for quite some time, and came to a conclusion that continuity under these circumstances was going to be warehousing him in a prison,” explained the defendant’s defense attorney Coatney.

Despite prosecutors’ request that he receive the maximum 7 years in prison, Judge Holden handed down the probation sentence because Maurice seems to be improving in counseling. However, Holden ignored the fact that the 33-year-old man ra-ed his second victim after completing a similar program intended to rehabilitate the se* offender.

That decision has sparked outrage on social media including a post by county prosecutor Patterson with a Ronald Reagan quote that “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.

It’s time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” Many experts claim that the most disturbing thing about Maurice’s case is that there are now two women who have learned that the court system doesn’t always deliver justice.

Sadly, he lives to offend another day while his victims must suffer the long-lasting effects of his crimes. Ladies and gentlemen, we are republishing this story amid recent reports that suggest many US states are recording record highs in se-ual assault incidents.

Porch Thief Steals Sick Boy’s Medicine Worth $40K Off Doorstep

Just about everyone does online shopping these days. How could we not, with just how convenient it all is?

You buy something without ever leaving the house, pay for it, and then it shows up on your doorstep a few days later!

For folks that have mobility or health issues, or aren’t able to get to the shops in time, online shopping is basically a godsend.

There is just one tiny problem – people have realized that there are more and more valuable goods simply left out on the front porch unattended, often for hours at a time.

And with this vulnerability comes the potential for theft. When you are desperate or just greedy, parcels left sitting in front of the door is just easy pickings…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

And it doesn’t help that most deliveries are conducted during office hours – the times where most people won’t be available, which is why they chose online shopping in the first place.

(This is probably why Amazon Key is now a thing – you can’t lose your purchases if they were left inside your house.)

So as convenient as it is to just have packages waiting for you once you reach back home, the risk of losing them can be grave, as this family found out the hard way.

While most people would be incredibly upset that they had their parcel stolen (and be set back a sizeable amount of money), this teenager has bigger problems to worry about.

14-year-old Gage Haynes is now in a life-or-death situation after about $40,000 worth of medication was swiped from the doorstep of his house in Summerlin, Nevada on one February day.

Diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis at only 6 months old, Gage has spent the pretty much most of his life staring at the inside of hospital walls as much as he has being outside them. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Because of the rarity of his cancer, finding the right treatment for him was a massive struggle that consumed most of Gage’s life.

Then, Gage and his mother, Shakala, found the miracle they had been searching for – a new chemotherapy medication called Rydapt.

8 pills a day eases Gage’s symptoms to the point he can attend school and worry about his grades for a change – a massive quality-of-life change.

But the new medication came at a steep cost.

Shakala had to work herself to the bone to gain both financial assistance and earn enough money to afford the monthly $40,000 cost necessary to keep her son alive.

To top things off, the medication wasn’t approved by the FDA for those under the age of 18, making it hard to get.

So when the unidentified thief made off with two packages in broad daylight, he just made it a lot harder for Gage to survive.

The teen has since put out a public plea for the thief to return the costly and life-saving medication he desperately needs.

Here’s to hoping the thief has at least a shred of humanity left in him and returns the medication once he realizes what he has done.

Along with her regular high school studies, she is also enrolled at North Lawrence Career Center which helps her decide what career path will be best for her.

She has already received training in first aid, CPR, and the process for responding to a medical emergency.

This training must have been on her mind when she least expected to be using it.

While Lexi and a friend were on their way to a concert, they noticed a car that was parked to the side of the road.

They could tell that the driver was trying to be noticed…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Lexi recalls that the driver was waving his arms around and then he dropped to the ground. This is when she yelled for her friend to stop the car.

Lexi then ran over to the man who had fallen out into the road. She pulled him back to safety and called 911.

He was able to let her know that he had an internal defibrillator.

This was due to heart issues from the past and how he was currently suffering from arrhythmia.

While she was accessing him, he began to have a seizure.

Lexi was able to place him on his side and keep him safe, while waiting to perform CPR if he needed it.

She was able to keep the man awake and calm until the ambulance was on site.

The man was happy to tell the EMTs that Lexi was the reason he was still alive.

She later learned that the man she saved was Brian Putt.

He has two children and is a Navy veteran. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

After Brian recovered, he was able to obtain Lexi’s name.

He wanted to meet her and thank her for saving him.

This is when he made the decision to visit her in her classroom at NLCC.

He walked into the classroom carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the girl that gave him another chance at life.

Brian was able to talk to the class and bragged on Lexi.

He explained how he had seen grown adults in the Navy loose it under stress but that wasn’t in Lexi’s nature.

She had a true gift of how to react in the time of need.

He went on to talk of her character and how she was an astounding person for the choices that she made.

He then took out a pin that was adorned with dolphins by a submarine.

Brian explained that it took him 20 years to earn this pin. It wasn’t a small task either.

He revealed the date that he was pinned on October 19th, 1993.

Then, he placed the pin on Lexi and told her that she had earned the dolphins.

Lexi was quick to stop and help. Without her, Brian’s life may be nonexistent.

She is a true hero and will make a great addition to the medical field.

Be sure to share this story and hopefully you can inspire someone else to make the decision to help others in need.
