A lawyer who spat at a flight attendant during a racist foul-mouthed tirade after she was refused alcohol on a nine-hour business class flight has been jailed for six months.
He added that “spitting straight into a crew member’s face at close range is a particularly insulting and upsetting act”. The lawyer, who is Irish and has worked with refugees around the world, unleashed a barrage of abuse in a prolonged rant which also saw her spit and grab the arm of the steward, the court heard.‘I felt abused’After breakfast was served Burns was asking for alcohol and being “very obnoxious”, the court heard.
Burns also grabbed the report the crew member was writing and continued with her abusive behaviour, the court heard. The judge told Burns: “The fact remains that you were drunk and obnoxious almost from the beginning to the end. You were abusive, contemptuous and confrontational and used appalling language.”
Delighted, bolshy woman put back in her box. Tide turning
Good enough! Who does she think she is! Professionals do not behave the way she did! Shocking
Maybe her nose is due to syphilis 😂
Hope she serves the 6 months & €300 to the unfortunate crew member is far too lenient !!
wolfiewire Delighted for her
spitting at cabin crew is de facto assault- end of. She’s lucky she wasn’t cuffed for her behavior
wolfiewire Part of her defence was that she had skin cancer 19 years ago 😂
If anyone saw the video of it going around one would assume she is a cockney geysa and far from Irish
Racial hatred is blessed in the current society so long as white people direct it at themselves. AntiWhite
She looks as cranky as 💀
wolfiewire If it was an Irish court she would have had the case thrown out. Then she could recant her racist behaviour at cocktail parties and she and her ilk could have a huge laugh. Hope she is disbarred.
That's awful. Sure didn't they spit at our Lord and savior on the cross.
Proper justice at last. She thought she was above everyone else. See where that got her. respectothers
Good enough for her!
Good, she deserves it.
