  1. Why was he using a wheelchair 🦽 to carry his luggage 🧳 did somebody need that wheelchair ♿️ or was the airline worker just being a jerk?

  2. Just had a meeting about when customers start getting pissed off and the best thing is to not keep going at it and walk away. Plus how much authority did the airline guy have? Can’t hear the audio but maybe was the airline guy mad because the bigger than him guy was using a wheelchair inappropriately? Who cares… as much as tickets are to fly on planes we should be able to use what we want…

  3. And if Langley was WHITE.
    Nobody would've said a thing.

  4. All this for a wheel chair?

  5. Notice how this video doesn't show how one sided it was when it started. Employee deserved it.

  6. United is demanding all employees take punches directly, and just say "thank you" They are even offering a 1 day ass beating course.

  7. United airlines is great, always know how to treat their paid consumers lol.

  8. This is a short clip the longer one showed the employee 🤛🏾 him first, witnesses also said the employee was in the wrong based on who put up his 🤛🏾up

  9. No charges, Just simple boxing spars. Move on. Kids are dead in Texas come on now.

  10. Wheres the full video that shows the nfl player starting the altercation?

  11. Apparently this isn't the full video. Where's the full video? This ABC only has the other half.

    Found it.

  12. Wait how is he fired if he didn’t start it???

  13. Wheelchair is not to carry luggage. Sorry the airport staff lost his job.

  14. White guys never move their heads lol. Ever watch a hockey fight? It's just two guys beating the crap out of each others faces

  15. over what? is there wheelchair shortage

  16. I like how mayo tries to make mayo look good by saying the employee stood up and continued to fight 🤣

  17. Wheelchairs are not for luggage. He needs to respect the rules. I bet he also illegally parks in handicapped spots and smokes in non-smoking areas.

  18. Lol thought he was ready to fight he was not dint even know how to react when someone punches

  19. They didn’t even show the whole video.They cut out the part where the attendant hit him first.

  20. Y the employee not call cops

  21. That airline worker deserved what he got don't put your hands on people

  22. Wheelchairs are not for luggage.
    They are for medical needs.
    NFL players needs more punishment.
    Employee was doing his job.

  23. This doesn’t show the entire video, but the employee actually slaps him twice. He also hits him first. The second slap was also a sucker punch. If one faces charges, the other should as well.

  24. Somebody made a comment on this video and said the airport employee got assaulted before the video started so if he was already hit he had every right to retaliate but if he initiated the assault then he got what he deserved because if someone punched me first and got the better of me damn right I’m trying to get even

  25. How the media twist the truth and they should show the full video. Watch the full video here and it shows the opposite. https://youtube.com/shorts/yvlnFGOpnbM?feature=share

  26. Langley had enough composure to back off too once the guy was not slapping or threatening him anymore

  27. As always this mediocre jobs wanting their employees to be hit or even dead without defending themselves

  28. Stop saying "allegedly" when the video is there for all to see. If there is any allegation it is of the negligible part.

  29. See, he got what he deserved, there is such a thing called courtesy and professionalism in the work force and this is a major part that drives any business forward! In this case it was highly lacking, you never advance a customer especially being in the airline industry in such a manner! Hope he learns from this. Peace and Blessings 🤓🕊️🙏

  30. How the dude get in trouble but the worker hit him wtf
