Under Hong Kong Law it is the passenger that is accountable for their actions, not the crew, not ground staff, not the airline, not the airport, and not Police.

Yes as a passenger you are required to "just back down, and leave it at that", if you have a dispute, that should not be sorted out onboard an aircraft. In the transcript that you published, the Police said that to you a number of times. If that was a US registered aircraft with an Air Marshal onboard, you would have been arrested and prevented from ever flying again.

There is no requirement under Hong Kong Law for any direction to move seats to be made in writing. To ask for something in writing that you already had printed on your economy class boarding pass is being belligerent. You were asking for something you already had.

You will get no sympathy on here at all for your actions, you have displayed no consideration, compassion, or remorse for the people you indiscriminately decided to delay. It is people like yourself that make our days longer, increase our workloads, increase the stress levels, and take time away from our families. All for what ? not wanting to sit in the seat assigned to you on your boarding pass.

You have shown little consideration for the defenceless company representatives that you verbally abused and taunted, they were doing their jobs. They put up with this sort of crap from people like yourself every day. The way things are done in Asia, the company would terminate their employment to show they did something about it. And all you would have achieved is putting a few more people out of work, and those people also have families which you do not seem to care about either.

You are so so selfish.
