Maybe I’m an idiot, but I read this drivel and I STILL can’t really figure out if they are telling me that the United passenger truly has a sordid past or if some OTHER guy has a sordid past. The narrative in the posted piece whip-saws back and forth so much I can’t tell.
But it doesn’t matter. We should not live in a society where someone has a business dispute with a major corporation and the first instinct people have is “Did he ever do anything wrong? Like 15 or 20 years ago?? Can we smear him? Can we? Huh? Huh? Can we smear him?”
Character assassination is a sport now.
It was a newspaper that investigated & reported this info.
That's modern "news" for you. I'm pretty sure what the LAT is saying is that meds-for-sex-doc = United doc ... but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Agree 1000%.
I agree. My reading is the David Dao on that flight is, in fact, the same doctor with a sordid past, as described in the article.
While prior acts cannot be used IN A COURTROOM they certainly can in public. Is he the gay sex doctor who lost his license for trading gay sex for drugs, or not?
You are more than welcome to form an opinion about him from his actions in the past. You just can’t use them to convict someone for an UNRELATED crime.
He certainly seems like a weirdo - screaming like that and running onto a plane after being removed... He’s lucky he wasn’t shot
HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL
Yes. I read that and it is drivel.
As far as I can tell this David Dao is the poker player and felon.
This article sort of said that.
The guy who threw the tantrum and was dragged off the plane is the guy who was convicted on drug charges and related as far as I can tell.
He should have been deported over a decade ago.
