Vanity: Who is the United Airlines Passenger? Is he really a Doctor?

Posted on 04/11/2017 7:29:42 AM PDT by narses

The media seems to be ignoring this question, why? Where is the report on who he really is?

This idiot howling and screaming and running back on is ridiculous.

A drama queen act -- especially by someone who is allegedly a "man" -- will cancel any empathy I may have had for him.

The guy should have gotten beaten to a pulp just for that sh!t.

Not sure what the controversy is.

Did you see the video? Did you see how horrified the eyewitnesses were? Your average juror is going to have the same reaction.

If I were these cops, I'd be lawyering up in anticipation of criminal charges.

While you are right to always question msm propaganda techniques, in this case, I don’t care if the man was a convicted child rapist - the sheer stupidity of united airlines, and the fascism and overreaction of the USA transport security state is the issue here

Many of us are real tired of this kind of crap. Affirmative action doctors throughout the family. Meanwhile, if and when he did the drug felony, he should have been immediately thrown out of the country. There is no common sense in this society.

The United Airlines pilot is responsible for everything that takes place on that plane. That pilot caused this mess.

Instead of resorting to violence, the pilot should have taken a free market approach and offered more financial incentives to anyone willing to give up their seat. Offering $2,000 in airline vouchers would have been much better than asking police to tear this guy from his seat.

"...the policy is clear..."


Those who utilize this type of thinking will have a far different approach when they miss their child's wedding, the last moments with a dying parent, or miss Game 7 in a World Series just because the airline says so.

Who is the ejected United Airlines passenger? He’s a paying customer, that’s who he is! I don’t need to know anything more.

That is irrelevant to the question of criminal culpability of the Chicago Aviation cops.

It may be a long shot, but given the graphic nature of the video and it going so viral, they could be looking at some serious charges.

Does it really matter WHO he is, other than a PAYING PASSENGERS.

The screw up was the airline for OVERBOOKING their own flight(s).

As soon as someone is disruptive they must get the police involved. I think they had exhausted the volunteer process. With many people needing to get to the next city for connections etc there is no time for conducting an auction.

Whatever his profession is, he should soon be wealthy enough to retire.

United Airlines has chosen to learn the hard way just like a few other major corporations have.

For example, Target knows best about who should use their bathrooms and customers respected their policy and now shop elsewhere.

Starbucks knows best about who to favor in their hiring practices and customers respected their policy and went elsewhere.

And United Airlines knows best how to oversell and overbook their flights, and then which paying customer to beat to a bloody submission and drag semi-conscious off their airplane so their employees can fly instead.

What a creative solution to their overselling and overbooking their flights!

I don't think that would work in other situations, though.

Imagine going into a restaurant, paying for your meal first and then given a table.

However, while waiting for your meal to be served, the management randomly picks you to leave, then calls security, who slams your head on the table and then drags your semi-conscious body out of the restaurant when you say "no".

That would be bad for business most of the time, but would probably be okay if the diner is a white male, right?

In this case, UA screwed up and it will cost them. If only the passenger had been an old, Trump luvin', gun toting, Christian white guy instead of Chinese, then all would be well.

using the same logic...

why is it important that he is neatly dressed or an elderly Asian male ? and why is his business more important than everyone else who is on the plane ?

as I don’t see how they are that relevant to the incident he was a victim of.

*******************

Not relevant in that the incident will be gauged with regard to Federal regulations
and their applications to the situation at hand.

If you want to pose hypotheticals, go right ahead. As none apply to the case being discussed, this thread is going even more off topic.

” Offering $2,000 in airline vouchers would have been much better than asking police to tear this guy from his seat.”

I believe there is a federal limit of $1300 that can be offered to a passenger to voluntarily be bumped from the plane.

I very respectfully suggest this is a very slippery slope you are suggesting.
Clearly two of his Constitutional Rights were violated.
Probably Cause and Illegal Search and Seizure.

Yeah, he’s not exactly the kind of doctor you’d want to take care of your problem.

This is a free market. Nothing was stopping the airline from fanning-out $2000.00 in crisp Benjamins and telling passengers they will get rescheduled plane tickets for the following day, hotel room, meals, and $500.00 cash each for their willingness help. They opted to use vinegar instead of honey.
