Two wrongs do not make a right. I am pretty sure that Kevin Smith is going to be okay after this whole scene blows over. But how are the employees at SWA who were involved going to fare? People who have a following and hold sway in the media should measure their responses to situations such as these. Let's just conceded that Kevin Smith was done wrong. To lash out at the employees who were, we have to assume, doing their jobs in good faith, is just as wrong as the incident prompting the response. Someone of Kevin's influence has to understand that he doesn't live in a vacuum. I think he understands that very well. Put it in perspective. Deal with someone in the company that would be considered your peer, say the CEO. And don't trash the people doing their jobs. Especially don't mention their names. Thank goodness no one gave you a last name. It's bad enough for those who may frequent the Burbank airport to be able to deduce who the players were let alone the entire world via the internet. I think the extent Kevin took this with the employees demonstrates either one of two things. Either he is a bully or he was really humiliated about the crux of the issue, his weight. He says that he is unabashedly sedentary and a processed food eater so I have to deduce he is being a bully.
The perspective he should put this in is one that stems from his privileged life. I am sure he is a millionaire. He has tremendous influence and following. He should take his lumps and understand that all the media attention on him is to his benefit. Not so for the employees of SWA. I hope no one loses a job over this unfortunate situation.
Dude! C'mon, give it a rest. Or duke it out with the SWA CEO. That would be a good fight!
