“he was in violation of 49 U.S. Code § 46504, which comes with a 20 year prison sentence).”
Please tell me the name of the prison Dr. Dao will be serving his 20 year sentence.
Or perhaps you can at least tell me when Dr. Dao was indicted for violation 49 U.S. Code § 46504.
“Failure to obey crew member instructions. 49 USC 46504.”
Do think that the US district attorney just has a really bad cases of Attention Deficit Disorder and never got around to seeking an indictment of Dr. Dao?
“He resisted arrest by law enforcement and received the same treatment anyone else would get.”
Uh, they weren’t arresting him. and they weren’t law enforcement. they were airport rent-a-cops, and they enforcing a civil contract by dragging a 69 year old Asian man who was minding his own business, and bloodied his face, broke two of his teeth and gave him a concussion.
AND all three rent-a-cops were suspended and their bosses said that they were appalled and this would never happen again, AND United said they would never use rent-a-cops or real cops to ever do this again.
But you’re absolutely delighted with the way this went down and even think it should happen exactly like this to anyone else in that circumstance. Why?
“1. A truck load of cash
2. Lifetime Global Services status, which gets me secret access to cash in the
3. 1,000,000 United frequent Flyer Miles a year for life, that I can use to fly to Europe with my fam, first class on board Lufthansa.
4. Lifetime membership to their airport lounge”
Under the circumstances, sounds quite reasonable, actually.
“The jackass should have been thrown in jail.”
Well, then why didn’t they jail him? No one knew there was any video of the brutalization at that point, so there was no downside to jailing him if he had committed any crimes.
He was never “under arrest”. He had no police charge filed against him in the incident. In fact, two of the airport police involved in the incident are under investigation and have been suspended.
“He resisted arrest by law enforcement and received the same treatment anyone else would get.”
If he was resisting arrest, why was he not charged with resisting arrest?
And if he was resisting arrest, what was he being arrested for when you claim he was resisting arrest?
Who said it was 7-10 million?
Raise your hand if you’re an ignorant idiot that thinks the airline and not the airport police assault Dao.
What those who worship those in positions of authority refuse to understand is that the three thugs had no authority [power] to effect an arrest. They had limited authority [power] to detain. But that was it. Their proper course of action after he said no was exit the airplane and report what transpired to their supervisor. But that was not what happened. After he defied them, they decided to teach him a lesson and remove him by force. They accomplished both goals. They removed him from the plane by force and they taught him a lesson. They also taught United Airlines a less for which they had to write a very large check. The three thugs are not suspended and are waiting to hear if criminal charges will be filed against them. Their former head boss is now out of a job. They did not say why, but smart money would say that this incident factored heavily in that decision.
The airline called in the po-po. If you are just driving the getaway car and somebody gets killed you still get charged with murder. :-)
“What those who worship those in positions of authority refuse to understand is that the three thugs had no authority...”
There are people that love it when agents of the police state kick in someone’s teeth.
United employees known as gate agents are responsible for calling in the cops....illegally
United owns this as much as the cops
Hate on you bitter old fag...lol
Whatever you want to call them they were not United employees; however, they were the liable party.
Exactly, the airport police are the liable party, not United airlines.
Ok, he was resisting removal by cops, not United employees. The cops are the liable party, not United. I hope I have clarified that for you.
The cops are the liable party, not United airlines.
Actually, they were. I believe you.
The employees that slapped this guy around are the liable party. The lawyers are used to running with the deep-pocket scam theory which is why United was forced to pay up. The same scam that allowed a guy in a phone booth that was hit by a drunk driver and the manufacturer of the phone booth was sued and lost. The so called legal system has collected on thousands of scams just like this one. The old deep pocket theory has allowed lawyers, to extort money for 50 years using this scam. Now we have one sitting judge in Hawaii that has claimed the right to set immigration policy.
That's the statute you'll be charged with, acquitted or not.
