Alabama mom throws computer at worker in epic airport temper tantrum
2022-12-23
[NYPOST] An enraged Alabama mom chucked a computer at an airline worker when she realized she’d lost her kids at the airport.
So then she didn't have the kiddies or the computer.
Camilia McMillie, 25, is facing criminal charges for her caught-on-camera meltdown Tuesday at Miami International Airport.
"I'm mel-l--l-l-ting! Down!"
Video shows the Birmingham mom yelling and ripping things off the counter after her two young children had walked away to the bathroom while she was checking in for her connecting flight with American Airlines.
"Maw! I gotsta go to da baffroom!"
“Once [McMillie] noticed the children were not with her, she became irate and began to scream, demanding the gate agent to find her children,” Miami-Dade Police explained.
"My brats! Where'd my brats go? Go find my brats! Bring me my brats right now!"
McMillie, who was traveling to New York City,
But isn't anymore...
can allegedly be seen yelling and tearing the boarding pass reader off the counter.
"Allegedly?" Izzat or ain't dat her on the camera? Izzat or ain't dat the boarding pass machine coming in for a landing on the boarding agent?
She eventually grabbed the computer and threw it at the gate agent, bruising the woman’s shoulder.
"Ow! My shoulder!"
“She went into panic mode,” one witness told WSVN. “That’s what happened.”
When I used to go into panic mode when one or more of my kids wandered off somewhere, I'd just say "sonovabitch!" and go looking for them.
According to the arrest affidavit obtained by The Post, McMillie’s outburst caused $10,000 in damages.
Those boarding pass computers aren't $199 laptops.
McMillie is still in custody. She was briefly detained by US Customs and Border Patrol agents before being taken into custody by local police.
"Over here, Officer Friendly!"
"Izzat her?"
"Yeah."
[Whack!] "Intoo da paddy wagon wit' yez!"

She was charged with aggravated battery, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. Records show that she remains in custody.
Her kids were turned over to the nearest shady-looking guy with whiskers wearing a trenchcoat.
“Acts of violence against our team members are not tolerated by American Airlines,” company spokesperson Derek Walls told WSVN. “We are working closely with law enforcement in their investigation.”
"We don't know where the hell the brats are. Merry Christmas. No, you can't use that station to board your flight. It doesn't have a computer. By the way, you seen any kids?"

#8  In the end American Airlines has a strong case which will reduce the settlement that they pay her to less than $1M.

#7  Hmmm, white victim and deep South cops. Such a scenario is probably not going to end well for a perpetrator of color.
