In other words a consequence of his resisting their efforts to remove him.
Look, once they've sent two big guys with clubs or tasers to remove you, you are going to get removed, and you have to be some kind of moron to think it is not going to turn out badly for you if you resist.
Once the big guys showed up he should have said "Okay, Okay! I'm leaving. "
Trying to stay in the chair when it is clear they have the muscle to remove you is just stupid.
What is stupid is putting a non-threatening, legally-boarded passenger in the hospital. Look at how quickly United settled this lawsuit. They knew they were at fault—and have publicly said so multiple times.
well... that “moron” just got a big payday..
Doesn’t look like such a “moron” now.
