Here is a neat story. I was working through flights on the gates in Saipan. A plane come in from NRT full of Japanese tourist. The pilot calls me in the cockpit and tells me this. "There is a Japanese customer I want to kick off the plane for smacking one of my flight attendants in the face. She accidentally spilled a drink on him and he slapped her hard. I don't want this jerk on my plane. I called the police. I want you to stand around in case things get freaky." Ok, so I hung around. I was outside the door of the plane on the jet way when the CHAMORRO cops showed up. One was a small little twerp looking guy, the other was a typical 300 pound fat Chamorro dude. They called the Japanese guy out and the Japanese guy was told to get off the plane. The Japanese guy refused as he lit up a cigarrette. Then the little twerp cop commences to man handle the Japanese dude and the Japanese dude begins to put up resistance. The little twerp couldn't really get the job done. Then comes the large Chamorro? Well HOMEY DON'T PLAY, so he slams the Japanese dude down on a take down and hand cuffs the Japanese dude after a brief struggle. I was just standing there making sure Japanese homey didn't go after the cops guns. All the mean time this Japanese guy is yelling and screaming and his wife is all hysterical at this point. His blood pressure must have gone through the roof because by then, the guy started to bleed from an open cut he got on his head in the scuffle, and perhaps his emotions shut him down because he just sat in the jetway feeling all drousy and like he was having some heart attack along with a nervous breakdown and his wife all hysterical. I kind of felt sorry for the poor lady. Here she is in Saipan, waiting to go to Guam as the plane fuels, and her husband gets kicked off the plane in brutal fashion. Then the ambulance came, took them both away and I just said "WOW MAN." Just WOW. I don't know what became of the couple, but I'm sure he wished he didn't slap the poor flight attendant for spilling a drink on him.
