How the United Passenger Suckered Us
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/15/16 | Michael Fumento

Posted on 04/15/2017 6:22:19 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

But part of the phenomenon long precedes YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and social media dictating the news. It's the American cult of victimization

You’ve been snookered folks! By that poor elderly doctor who was involuntarily dragged from his seat, had his face smashed in, and was beaten unconscious by the evil airport security at the behest of United Airlines.

Because there’s no evidence any of that was true. It was in fact a premeditated temper tantrum gone viral, comprising one 69-year-old Vietnamese-American David Dao, a medical doctor who lost his license, planning a lawsuit from the moment United first politely asked him to give up his seat. He demanded to be dragged, did an excellent impersonation of Ned Beatty’s character in that horrific scene in Deliverance, and struck his lip on an armrest. From the many videos taken by numerous passengers, obviously from numerous angles, there’s no evidence of a beating, a “serious” concussion, or bodily damage beyond that lip.

>>UAL says he was boarded. When read out against the CoC, this statement is soooo going to come back to haunt them.>>>

You: ‘Everyone knows UAL has backtracked.’

>>>Drama Queenism at its finest. I never did any of those things to you. Name the names of those who did, or stop smearing.>>>>

Fantasywriter starts off comment by calling me a dramaqueen followed immediately by.....”I never did any of those things to you.....”

Alrighty then....

We went over this. You missed interpreted what I said based on my partial quote of yours. So you are still wrong.

There’s no misinterpretation. Someone pointed out that United had stated that the plane was boarded.

You responded by claiming United had backtracked.

It’s not as hard as you’re desperately trying to make it.

Would you prefer that your time here should be concealed?

Vespa says he/she is a retread who thinks FR is, if not a hotbed of Nazism, then certainly infested with Nazis.

It’s not that hard. You didn’t even know the CEO had softened. Obviously I was aware of what he had softened about. You didn’t.

I get creeped out by people taking the time to check me out. It’s paranoia or something. Weird.

The “checking out” occurs when a poster just doesn’t fit in, due to being nasty, arrogant or pushing very unpopular opinions. You’re not creeped out, you’re entertaining your buddies at some butt-hurt anti-FReeper site, aren’t you?

‘You didn’t even know the CEO had softened. Obviously I was aware of what he had softened about. You didn’t.’

If you check my posting history you’ll see I’m well aware of it, and have been since he frantically backpeddled. Does NOT change the fact that no one at United has backtracked on the plane having been “boarded,” prior to the Dao incident.

Be careful when you zip past me. I open my door and spit.
