Vanity: Who is the United Airlines Passenger? Is he really a Doctor?
Because we all know that if he isn't a doctor, it's OK to be Tased and beaten up by thug airport rent-a-cops, right?
I am trying to not buy everything the media is trying to sell. Not sure about this case yet.
This out online now:
He really is “a neatly dressed elderly Asian male who got bloodied & concussed by stormtroopers” when he tried to explain he needed to fly because he had patients waiting. Does he now deserve to be further brutalized by the media for your pleasure?
In the end the plane took off several hours late after the blood was cleaned with he & his wife on board...suggests there were other alternatives for the airline after all. Let’s spend our interest exposing the employees responsible for the incident and the policy setters.
TMZ actually did a rundown on him. Dude is shady, was convicted of a lot of stuff, had license suspended and was reinstated but allowed to practice under very restrictive guidelines, if TMZ is accurate and the doctor in question correctly ID’d. Do your own DD to validate or verify.
The man who was forcibly dragged off of an overbooked United Airlines flight has been
identified as David Dao, a doctor, professional poker player and father of five originally
from Vietnam who was once convicted of trading drugs for sex as part of a downfall that
derailed his medical career.
The Louisville Courier-Journal and USA Today confirmed his identity and that he lives in
Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
Dao, 69 was on his way from O’Hare International Airport in Chicago to Louisville when the
incident took place. It was captured on video by nearby passengers and led to outrage and
United eventually apologizing for how it all played out.
Dao is a doctor who studied at a medical school in Saigon, Vietnam. He’s a father of five and
a grandfather. Four of his five kids are doctors and his wife, Teresa, is a pediatrician.
However, Dao had his medical license suspended for more than 10 years for illegally
prescribing patients with painkillers. He was sentenced to probation, avoiding a two-year
prison sentence he could have served.
Here’s what you need to know link including photos:
If the airline sold me a seat, and then beat me up after I was in it to give it to someone else, it shouldn’t really matter if I’ve got other unrelated personal issues.
Airlines overbook planes all the time. Usually you offer something to get someone to give up their seat. Otherwise, if you sold the same seat twice, it seems like the guy with the boarding pass has dibs.
OK, so this guy was not perfect. In fact, he really seems like a jerk.
I still maintain that United handled this VERY poorly. They should have raised their offer until someone accepted it. Forcibly removing a paying customer from the plane is just wrong. And United will lose a TON of money for having done this. As they should.
This guy’s attorney is going to make a lot of money.
Don’t trust the media, EVER. They are saying it was an overbooked flight. It wasn’t.
He's a slight, non-threatening 69 year old man who got assaulted and bloodied by some thug Chicago Dept of Aviation cops.
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
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.
Does it really matter WHO he is, other than a PAYING PASSENGERS.
The screw up was the airline for OVERBOOKING their own flight(s).
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.
Does it matter who it is?
Why does it matter to you?
