Gurriel doesn't even know he offended 18,271,225 Asian Americans (as of 2011) with his idiotic behavior.

What about the 18,271,225 Asian Americans (as of 2011) insulted by Gurriel?

The courts should take into account all the trouble this guy cost. In addition to some serious jail time for his criminal acts, how about the complete waste of time for ANA and the other passengers? Add him to the "no fly" list for Japan but by all means, make him pay for wasting 1.5 hours for each of the passengers and flight crew. Then perhaps this sort of nonsense may stop . . .

Don't worry, this guy's at the federal detention center in Honolulu. He'll be charged with federal crimes and prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Honolulu. He's looking at a very long sentence at federal prisons on the mainland, and won't be flying on JAL or any other airline for a long time.

You could always get ANA miles on your UAL Mileage Plus account. It will be news when ANA allows upgrades for Mileage Plus, or if they increase the flight to HNL to more than one a day. For the past several years, its been packed to capacity. And if you've ever seen how UAL's gate personnel handle Chinese tourists, you would be terribly embarrassed. I know they lack Chinese speaking employees but that's no excuse to be rude and crass. This has been a long standing problem.
