Somebody’s wife, mother, and daughter

Airport workers are out of control:
Carol Anne Gotbaum, 45, was arrested Friday at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix after she became irate when gate crews refused to let her board a flight for which she was late, officials said.
“She was a wonderful mother; she was sweet and kind and loving,” said public advocate Betsy Gotbaum, the woman’s stepmother-in-law. “It’s obviously very, very difficult for us; we are dealing with it as best we can. My No. 1 focus is those children and my stepson.”
Yep, she’s dead. While in police custody. According to the news report Gotbaum “may have tried to get out of her handcuffs” which were around her neck. Can anyone who has been in handcuffs before tell me how that would work because I am having a hard time envisioning such a contortion.
Let this be a lesson to everyone, if you throw a fit at the airport for any reason, well, you get what you deserve, I guess. Just don’t do it.
Neither a stun gun nor pepper spray was used on the woman, authorities said.
