It would be very interesting to know, and if I were his lawyer, I would try to find out, just exactly HOW he was selected for ejecting!!
What a disgusting act on the part of “Untied” airlines!!

I heard it was a random computer selection. If it were a matter of “Let’s rough up the Asian-looking guy” then United has a really big problem.
I heard it was based on algorithms which took into account cost of ticket, when it was purchased etc. The implication was last minute bargain shoppers were the first to go.
I got booted once while flying standby as the guest of my-then flight attendant girlfriend. They got my name wrong but I suspected they were calling for me so I volunteered and sure enough, it was me. I wasn’t happy about it but obeyed. A whole group of travelers showed up late at the last minute and bumped me off, which cost me a day or two of getting home. Fortunately, I was in no dire need to be home, and did get to spend a couple extra nights with my smokin hot FA GF.
So not all was lost
