“There was no assault. A young man approached Dog at the Denver Airport in a very hostile and aggressive manner, clearly looking to start trouble. He insulted Dog and Beth, hurled racial slurs at Dog, and threatened to ‘cut’ Beth if she could ‘get out of her wheelchair,’ ” Brettler said. “The Chapmans attempted to distance themselves from this individual, but he followed them to the elevator where he continued to shout profanities at them.”
