"Jeez, they didn't have to kill him, they could have just put him off the airplane."
At 30,000 feet that would have worked too.
It is my portrayal of the MSM-view of this story. If the drunk man was Black then the passengers used excessive force to kill him based on racial prejudice. The airline was at fault for permitting it. Millions to family. No responsibility to drunk man. We have seen this dozens of time with drunk/high/violent overwight black defendants who died while being restrained by police. Most received large jury awards or settlements. It is sickening.
Well nicely done. Just go ahead and inflame this episode as a racial issue as if that's relavent.
