Nah, you gotta go to the flight attendents immediately with that one. I ain't touching him, I don't need to get permanently kicked out of an airline cause someone else is an idiot. He throws hands at me, and then what's my next move? This isn't the street, he can just say you touched his foot first and you'll probably both get permanently banned and possibly even fed charges.
And no way he gets two chances from me. The moment he puts the foot up a second time he's done, I'm just reporting that to the flight attendent and not wasting any more of my time speaking to the a$$hole. Every extra move he makes he gets reported again until they take him out for disrupting a flight.
Best part was whoever was filming him though. That sort of behavior needs to be blasted online so everyone who sees him knows who they're dealing with.
