If the charge of assault is legitimate, as opposed to a "cover charge" (a fabricated charge filed to "cover" illegal conduct by law enforcement authorities,) then he deserved what he got. I'm somewhat inclined to believe the airline's side of this story--and no, not because it's Lufthansa. At some point, prior to being kicked-off the plane, this man may have identified himself as a figure in Polish politics. Since this was Lufthansa, rather than the domestic carrier, LOT, the Lufthansa crew may have felt some obligation to be extra careful not to do or say anything which could be construed as over-reacting. Finally, if the cops are able to get a blood, urine, or breath sample suggesting (alcohol) intoxication, this guy is--as flight attendant PHXFlyer likes to say--TOAST!

Jan Rokita, 49, now a political commentator for a Polish newspaper, used to head the office of the Council of Ministers in the early 1990s and in 2005 he was the Civic Platform's (PO) nominee for prime minister in the parliamentary elections the party lost in the autumn of that year. The incident occurred Tuesday, when Rokita was travelling with his german wife Nelly, a consultant to polish president, who filed a complaint against an officer for criminal insult. This charge is also being investigated. Jan Rokita, for many years a leading light of Polish politics, was led off a German airplane in handcuffs after a scuffle with the crew aboard a scheduled flight from Munich to Cracow. Rokita was traveling with his wife Nelli, a deputy from the Law and Justice (PiS) party, who also joined in the argument. Rokita was escorted out of the aircraft in handcuffs and was released only after the Polish consul intervened. The airline personel should be always professional, know how to serve customers, and avoid any confrontation and the german bitch was not in compliance with any customer service protocols. That stupid stewardess just minutes before assaulted a disable person (a Hindu on a wheelchair) on the plane, no one reacted, despite that many of passengers monitored her behavior. Than just after that she assaulted the wife aof Jan Rokita, Mrs. Nelly Rokita. They called me an ass-hole and abused me. Demanded money and treated me like garbage - says Jan Rokita, a member of Parliament who was falsely and fraudulently acused of starting the brawl, about his and his wife`s coats being damaged by the stewardess. The couple put their coats on a vacant seat. The german flight attendant took the coats off, dropped the hat on the ground, than tossed the hat on the laps of Nelly Rokita, and than started by force to cramp the coats in to overhead compartment. Nelly Rokita ( a german citizen) got upsett and complained that that bitch who was cramping them. Moved by such unprofessioalizm Mr. Rokita took them out again and put back on a vacant seat. The attendant said "I am the boss on the plane, I do decide..". Only after she reportedly refused to let his wife place her coat somewhere else Rokita got upset, and wanted to make sure that their coats are not destroyed. Than she started to show hem "I am the boss attitude", unfortunatelly instead filling the complaint against Lufthansa for damages, he argued with that bitch. Now the attendant have NO rights to touch personal property of any passenger without their permission unless those and in the only case, are abandoned. She might ask them to do it but she can not do it by herself. That i s proper professional protocol,which should be followed by that german scumbug. There were problems with the plane earlier, as there were problems with the airplane safety. The plane was NOT properly prepared by the mechanics for the flight. That resulted that the plane crew was ****** of, and had a serios over 1 hour delay. Saying so the airplane crew have no business of taking their frustration on passengers, and that what happened, while rushing for the take off. She ordered him to fasten the seat belts, when he wanted to correct his coats. He than when asked for, refused to show her his documents and and than properly refused to leave the plane. Rokita already passed the border control, and stewardess had no business to ask him for documents, that is not her job. He properly refused. One needs to realise that passengers do fasten seat belts after the plane takes of the gates, and taxi to the runway, and never before. When the argument broke out, the stupid pilot without making an inquiry, as the plane was already one hour late, had sided with the stewardess, and than the police was called. Only after his refusal to comply with the demands of the stewardess, to fasten seat belts, after she attempted to fasten his seat belt, allegedly pushed aside a stewardess who had repeatedly asked him to fasten his seat belt. The stupid pilot thlen called german police and expelled the 49-year-old. They handcuffed an innocent Rokita and took him out. Police escorted Rokita off the Lufthansa plane in handcuffs, abusing him in different ways, e.g, was called Arschloch. On board the Lufthansa aircraft, Rokita first engaged in an angry exchange with a flight attendant after which, according to the Germans, he became "a threat to the safety of the flight" and, ignoring the captain's request, refused to leave the plane. Rokita beyond reasonable doubt is a victim of German prejudice towards Poles, and a weird bitch who was looking for confrontation. Rokita properly accused the crew of the Lufthansa flight and German police of brutality and "anti-Polish bias." Rokita is a man of honor, despite that he is pedantic mommy's boy, and love the attention. However in no waay he can or ever should to be labeled as a danger to the airplane, passengers, or the crew. That is no doubt that that stewardes is a classical mental case, with most likely mental pausal tantrums. The recording made by a co-passenger reveals Rokita`s cries for help to passengers: Help me, you are Polish, help me, Germans are abusing me! Hans Peter Kammerer, the spokesman for the Munich police, says that during Rokita's scuffle with the plane crew, there was "an attempt at bodily harm and breach of the law on air traffic safety." The Rokitas spent the night at a police station at the airport. The German prosecutor's office demanded bail of several thousand euros. After the Polish consulate intervened, it was decided that for a citizen of the EU, bail was not necessary and Rokita was released pending trial. The police supervisors excused the politician, stating that this police officer have a history of abusing his victims. For the sake of good name of Lufthansa, I hope this stewardess is eventually fired or moved to a position NOT requiring face to face contact with customers. I would not accept such treatment, no matter what her reasoning was. I hope Lufthansa will look more closely at their employees and clear our those who are not happy to be there in first place. Doesn't matter if this was over the coat or the seatbelt, It seems a rather excessive measure to kick someone out of the plane and put them in handcuffs because of a disagreement with the bitch employed as a stewardess, no matter what the cause - a fight over a seatbelt or the right place for the coat...! Sticking to security measures is one side of this shameful story, but reaching to excessive and unnecessary measures in the name of biased power trip is the other... I do fly with various airlines, and airlne crews are really out of their mind, banking on airline security after 9 / 11. But to decide to harshly remove this one and call him an *******, is outregeous not only to me. Such drastic measure probably resulted from some biased attitude and sense of superiority, double standards of wiked flight attendant, who probably applies them freely based on what citizens she deals with. The prosecutor's office in Munich has launched an investigation, while the Rokitas have said they will sue Lufthansa. The German airline has in the meantime put Rokita and his wife on its blacklist of individuals banned from Lufthansa planes and from using its terminals. I flew recently on for long segments on Lufthansa million miles, and I never seen such shoddy airline like Lufthansa.owned airplanes, and I wouldn't fly Airbuses any more. Cramped in a 14 hours flight from west coast to Munich (I got on the plane vein thrombosis) I almost died, while the stewardes with pale face was pissing in her pants as the plane allegedly got in to air turbulance. I flew over past 35 years several million miles, and I never seen any major airlines so shoddy like Lufthansa. I wouldn't fly Lufthansa, not because how they treated Rokita, but because I do not feel safe on Airbus, as well as I do not trust Lufthansa maintenance, wit latest development of serious problems with their landing gears. In case you are a Pole and desire to travel by airlines, stay out of Luft Chamstwa.
