Korean Air heir sent to prison for one year over 'nut rage'

[sdifox]

Remember the daughter of Korea Air chairman getting into a fit over her macademia nuts being in a bag rather than on a plate? Well, she is going to jail for it.

Remarkable since Korean conglomerate people tend to get slap in the wrist and not actual jail time. Hopefully this is a sign of change.

Well that's kind of refreshing. Here in the US, there's no way in heck a wealthy daughter of an influential mega-rich guy would see a jail over that.

I suspect it's more like "jail" than JAIL.

Too bad the US doesn't punish people for stupid behavior.

She turned the taxing plane back to the gate, assaulted a flight attendant and forced a flight attendant off the flight...

He wont. You can bet on it. What the hell was he doing on a Peasant airline and not his private jet?

Meanwhile in the US, our heirs don't go to prison,.. even if they rape their own infant daughter; http://www.delawareonline.com/story...y-preview-du-pont-heir-stayed-prison/7016769/

Does their government need to make an example to show people that assaulting the crew of a commercial aircraft is wrong? Seems like common sense. :\

You assault a crew member, force them to kneel and humiliate them, force the plane back to the hanger using intimidation, and then throw a crew member off the flight and see how many years in jail you get. Answer: Quite a lot.

Plutocrat rape.

Korean here. I'll take US government than corrupt SK government any day.

Yes, governemnt is making an example out of her due to the massive public outcry of the history of conglomerate elites being above the law.

What you don't see are the 1000s of blatant corruption that go unpunished.
