Another straw man argument. You say 'lock up'. I've been saying 'detain, in a hospital if needs be'. The thing assiduously not being rebutted is my argument that there should have been some detailed investigation. Maybe there was, and we don't know, but there doesn't appear to have been - I'm just stating my belief that there should have been and the person detained pending an outcome.
What if the person concerned had attacked people earlier in the day? Or has a history of such? What circumstances? What do you think would happen, if, he was released (or taken into a friend's care) and then attacked someone causing real harm? Oh, well it was 'best practice' in operation, sorry for the facial alteration.
No, we don't know what has happened behind the scenes. It was probably a genuinely isolated case, him with some personal troubles. There but for the grace of God, go I.
But I loath it when there are incidents on board aircraft and the airlines don't take it any further # - that's the reason I think there was no investigation in this case, or further action (apparently). I don't think its on the police's heads, at all (as I've already said
)
# And why would they not? - it would take time of the aircrew to give statements, maybe give evidence later; it would potentially tie the aircraft up; it would 'inconvenience' passengers; it would take time of company executives to manage; it would extend 'bad' publicity for the airline. No, move, on ... nothing to see here ... . Gutless. Thank goodness there is no circumstance I can think of when I'd have to go anywhere near a Scoot plane.
