Video: Airline worker wearing holiday reindeer antlers hit by flying computer monitor — courtesy of passenger who loses it at gate, tosses equipment to ground



A passenger in Miami International Airport was caught on cellphone video Tuesday throwing a computer monitor at a gate agent, tossing equipment to the ground, and being arrested for aggravated battery, WSVN-TV reported.

What are the details?

The 25-year-old woman and her kids were flying from Alabama to New York City and had a layover in Miami, police told the station.

But at one point, she couldn’t find her two children, who had walked off to use the restroom, police added to WSNV.

"Once the subject noticed the children were not with her, she became irate and began to scream, demanding the gate agent to find her children," police added in a statement to Fox News.

With that, the woman — who was at American Airlines Gate D-39 — tossed keyboards and ripped a boarding pass reader from a counter, the station said.

The gate agent in the background of the video screenshot below — wearing a headband with reindeer antlers — also felt the heat.

A different video camera angle shows the woman grabbing a computer monitor and throwing it at the gate agent and striking her in the shoulder, WSNV added.

“She went into a panic mode,” a witness told the station. “That’s what happened.”

A passenger reacting to the video told WSNV that “clearly she has anger issues" while another exclaimed, “Oh, my God! Why would she do that?”

Police told the station American Airlines' property damage amounted to around $10,000.

Help arrives

Nearby officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection held the woman until Miami-Dade police officers arrived, the station said.

The woman — identified as Camilia McMillie — was booked into jail later that night on charges that include aggravated battery, WSNV said, adding that she was being held on a $13,000 bond.

Police added to Fox News that the Florida Department of Children and Families is assisting McMillie's children.

The American Airlines employee — presumably the antler-wearing worker hit by the flying computer monitor — was said to be OK with some bruising on her right shoulder area, the station said.

What did American Airlines have to say?

“Acts of violence against our team members are not tolerated by American Airlines, and we are working closely with law enforcement in their investigation," AA spokesperson Derek Walls told WSNV.

The station added that throughout the pandemic, "violent encounters on planes and at the airport have soared."

Readers of TheBlaze may recall almost exactly one year ago when a brawl erupted inside Miami International Airport, culminating in a police officer pulling his gun on an advancing mob — one member of which, angry over a delayed flight, fought and even bit the officer on the head.

Antifa bro smashes up Portland church — so now it's forced to close shelter, halt homeless program that provides meals to hundreds daily



The surveillance video says it all.

A homeless person is curled up Wednesday night on the sidewalk outside the doors of St. Andre Bessette Church in downtown Portland, Oregon.

Then into the camera frame comes a marching group of black-clad Antifa militants.

One of them approaches the area where the homeless person is curled up, pays no attention to the individual, and proceeds to the task at hand: Busting up the church's doors and windows.

He then pathetically holds open the busted out door, presumably to let his comrades inside to do their usual ransacking and pillaging — but they ignore him as the terrified homeless person runs off.

Finally, one of his buddies armed with a black umbrella has to pry the thug away.

All in a night's work, eh?

What happened next?

Unfortunately, because of the extensive damage to the doors and windows, the church leader who filed the police report told officers the church was forced to close its shelter and halt homeless services for the foreseeable future because staff can't safely open or close the building's doors. St. Andre Bessette serves several hundred people a day, providing shelter, meals and other services to homeless individuals, police added.

"Until I can get the building secured, everything's coming to a stop," Father Tom Gaughan told KGW-TV. "So, there's hundreds of people that we would normally give out food to, and we're not gonna be able to because of this."

Gaughan added to the station that he didn't know how long it would take to make the building safe. St. Andre Bessette is a Catholic church.

Gaughan added to KOIN-TV that he's also suspending church services, including mass, until the building is secured — and that, for now, mass will be livestreamed on Facebook.

"We ask for everyones prayers for peace in our streets which is so long overdue and pray for our sisters and brothers who call the streets and shelters home," Gaughan also told KOIN. "Because the act of one person has prevented us from providing for hundreds of people over the course of a week."

What did public officials have to say?

Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese condemned those who damaged not just to the church but other downtown buildings as well: "Last night's criminal activity targeting the Downtown Portland neighborhood was reprehensible and impacts all Oregonians. The loss of shelter beds due to violence and vandalism comes at a time when we desperately need safe space for vulnerable individuals to seek refuge from a pandemic and colder, rainier weather. This hurts the community's efforts to get people off the streets and connected to the crucial resources they need."

Gov. Kate Brown condemned the "self-styled anarchist protesters, some armed" who "marched downtown last night, with no discernible goal other than to cause violence and vandalism," KOIN reported.

She added that they "shattered the windows of a church that feeds Oregonians in need, a women-owned and operated business that raises money for immigrant and women's rights, and many other storefronts. Indiscriminate destruction solves nothing. These are acts of privilege."

VIDEO: Women trash 3-year-old's birthday party. Cops say DA won't press charges due to not enough property damage.



Two women were caught on video destroying a child's birthday party outside a Houston apartment complex over the weekend — and police told TheBlaze that the district attorney declined to press charges due to insufficient property damage.

What are the details?

The video begins with a woman dragging away an upside-down table that appears to have a cover on it as others in the grassy area stare at her.

The woman then returns to a second table where a male and female are seated; the table has a cover on top as well as food.

Standing at one end of the table, the woman tells the pair, "Excuse me? Excuse me?" And presumably when she doesn't get the correct answer, she says, "OK, that's fine" — and attempts to drag the table away.

When the table occupants protest, the woman tells them, "Move your stuff! Move your stuff!" When they don't move the table or the items on it, she asks the pair, "Are you gonna move y'all's s**t? Are you gonna move y'all's s**t?"

With that the woman yanks up the table as a person off camera is heard remarking, "Wow!" — and the table's cover and the food slides off to the ground.

She then carries the table away and lets it drop to the ground.

Another woman with her is seen tossing a chair against a tree and then picking up another chair and walking away with it.

The first woman is heard saying something unintelligible to the partygoers, and the video ends.

What else did police say?

Police told TheBlaze they were called to the apartment complex around 9:15 p.m. Saturday where they spoke to the woman who took away the tables as well as the woman who was sitting at one of them.

Police said the woman who took away the tables was upset because they were set up too close to her patio, that she said she asked the people at the party to move them and that she called police over a noise complaint.

The woman who was sitting at one of the tables told police she's six months pregnant but wasn't injured.

Police told TheBlaze they brought the incident to the district attorney's office, but the D.A. declined to press charges since there wasn't enough property damage to issue a Class B misdemeanor. But police added that officers will reexamine the incident to see if a Class C misdemeanor can be issued.

What did the family have to say?

According to KPEL-AM, the family of 3-year-old Angely rented the tables and chairs to celebrate her birthday — and now they're responsible for covering damages.

A GoFundMe account was set up to help cover the costs — and as of Tuesday afternoon nearly 300 donors have pledged over $4,600.

Here's more about the incident from the mother's perspective:

The station said community organizations have reached out to offer a makeup birthday party for Angely:

Protesters surrounding men in parked pickup truck allegedly pulled on vehicle's doors, got on hood before cops arrested men in truck on gun charges



In the wake of police arresting a pair of pickup truck occupants on gun charges after cops dispersed protesters who were surrounding the vehicle Saturday night in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the arrested men said there's quite a bit more to the story.

What are the details?

Richard Ray, 59, told the Post and Courier that he and the truck's driver — 46-year-old Matthew Constantine — were concerned about the planned protest that night and headed downtown to check on business interests to make sure they weren't damaged. The paper said Ray declined to specify what those interests are.

A few dozen demonstrators had gathered downtown in response to the grand jury decision to not indict police officers in the killing of Breonna Taylor, a black woman, in Louisville, Kentucky, the Post and Courier said.

Ray told the paper he and Constantine watched and recorded protesters before pulling into a bank parking lot and continuing their vigil with the vehicle's headlights off and windows up.

But soon enough a group of protesters surrounded the truck, pulling on its doors and getting on its hood, he told the paper.

Ray added to the Post and Courier that he was scared, but at no point did he or Constantine "reach for any weapon in the car." Ray noted to the paper that he did grab a pepper spray container and was planning to use it if anyone broke a window.

"I'm not pulling a gun on a bunch of kids," he told the Post and Courier. "I'm not going to do anything to hurt kids protesting when the cops are right there."

But then Ray told the paper one of the protesters yelled about a gun, which prompted police to come over — and then one of the officers shined a light in the back and saw an AR-15. Ray told the Post and Courier the rifle was from target shooting earlier in the day.

More weapons found

Upon further questioning, Ray told police there were handguns in the vehicle — one of them in the passenger side door compartment, WCDB-TV reported.

Constantine told police he had a handgun concealed in his waistband, WCDB added. It was loaded, according to WCSC-TV.

Officers also found pepper spray, a wooden club, additional magazines, ammunition, knives, and a Taser inside the vehicle, WCDB said.

Neither Ray nor Constantine had concealed carry permits, and they were arrested and charged for unlawful carrying of a handgun, WCDB said, adding that Constantine and Ray were released on bonds — $25,000 and $10,000, respectively. They're scheduled for an initial court date in December.

'I don't want people to be scared'

Following their misdemeanor arrests, Ray told the Courier and Journal he and Constantine had no intention of hurting anybody.

"I'm sorry it went down. I don't want people to be scared," he told the paper, adding that "we were not down there to harm anyone."

Ray also told the Courier and Journal he belongs to an unnamed citizens group with members who come from law enforcement backgrounds and who are concerned about violence growing in the downtown area in recent months.

And while he respects the right to peacefully protest, Ray noted to paper that he believes he and Constantine were mobbed and are being portrayed as bad people.

Luther Reynolds, Charleston's police chief, told the Courier and Journal that just because the men were concerned about business interests downtown doesn't "give them permission to go out and break the law."

But Ray also told the paper he believes the search of the truck was illegal, and that he may sue.

Anything else?

The Courier and Journal said Constantine — an artist — didn't respond to a voicemail and emails seeking comment. However, a local gallery said in a Facebook post Monday it stopped representing an artist who was arrested for unlawfully carrying a handgun during a recent protest, the paper reported, and that Ray confirmed it was Constantine.
