    No, West Pointe is very pro-Patti LaBelle.

    Seriously though that's a great question. Because of an incident in which according to video the kid did nothing to directly provoke Patti LaBelle, he got demoted to private, is being deployed to active duty AND can't graduate with his class. That's messed up.

    The article says it was HPD who contacted West Pointe. Between that and the posing for pictures bit that entire organization should be ashamed.

    I wonder if he can sue LaBelle for West Pointe's disciplinary actions.

    All I know is that when I'm at the airport I don't wait outside and stand right next to someone loading their luggage. Also, he was waiting in the middle of the concourse not even next to the terminal. He still did not deserve a beating though.

    That cadet is gonna be $$$.

    May not necessarily be from Patti LaBelle, herself, though, unless she provided instruction to do what the bodyguards did.

    Best wishes to the cadet.

    how are the bodyguards not immediately arrested for assault?

    and the cops taking pics w/ labelle after the beating...what a disgrace.

    he was standing there talking on the phone, no one around. then they come out and put the luggage right next to him. then decide he is too close.

    He claims it was because of the false statements LaBelle and her bodyguards made in the police report.

    agree, but there is almost no legal justification to initiate violence like that

    That's where cars can pick you up. I've waited there for my ride before.

    My girlfriend went to Klein Forest with the victim. I hope he wins his suit.

    Are you kidding me? I fly a lot, and it is pretty common and regular to wait near the door or half way where he was standing. Everytime i fly there is someone near by loading or so on, there are os many cars coming in everyone is waiting around at times in different spots, its pretty casual and literally don't see anything wrong with what he did.

    I hope west point reverses there decisions and I ope he cleans shop on her
