This is NOT how to evict a guest who's late departing!

There was an assault, the guest fell down the stairs, the Airbnb host was arrested, there was video evidence...oh my gawd this is NOT how you want to behave as a host!!
(By the way, this gif is NOT from the actual story!!...)
The host in this incident was provoked by the guests, who were violating house rules and quite possibly were rude to him as well. It's not uncommon for guests who are doing something in violation of the house rules to accuse YOU the host of being rude when you confront them on it. So this is something we all need to be prepared for. And make sure that we dont' lose control when we are angered, and give way to what can be construed as assault.
Because the consequences to losing control can be grave. IN this case the guest ended up in the hospital. Apparently the government is considering pressing charges of attempted murder against the host. And the host most definitely is "banned for life" from Airbnb...

"Appalling and unconscionable behaviour against members of our community runs counter to everything Airbnb stands for," David King, an Airbnb official, said. (David King is Director of Diversity at Airbnb)
"We will take the strongest actions we can against such abhorrent conduct, including banning people for life from our platform and assisting law enforcement with their investigation and potential prosecution. Nobody should ever be treated like this and it will certainly not be tolerated.”
