Steven Slater was a flight attendant. He got into a fight with a rude passenger. He ran out of the airplane's emergency exit, while the airplane was in the gate.
There's one bit that has me puzzled. The mainstream media is portraying Steven Slater as a hero. I guess that's to contrast with Omar Thorton, a disgruntled person who murdered 8 coworkers after getting fired. Steven Slater didn't hurt anyone. It was a minor offense.
Steven Slater's only real offense is "He might have caused some flights to be delayed, by inappropriately using the emergency exit." That should be a civil offense and not criminal.
The mainstream media is portraying Steven Slater as a good guy. Look at this article. Notice the photo. Steven Slater is smiling. When the mainstream media wants to make someone look bad, they show a picture of the victim frowning. When the mainstream media wants to make someone look good, they show an airbrushed picture of him smiling. All the mainstream media pictures of Steven Slater show him smiling.
Many slaves are disgruntled. Steven Slater is portrayed as a hero. He was abused, but vented his frustrations in a harmless manner.

I see him as neither hero or villain but as a regular guy who finally couldn't take dealing with the BS any longer and went out dramatically, in style. Of course he can't go back to that airline job. But it's possible he could be a celebrity spokesman for some other airline.
"Tired of narcissistic passengers creating problems? Try Southwest, the disturbance free airline, home of the Slaternater."
