From what I have read no United employee manhandled this guy. The police did that. Federal law is if you are told to deplane you have no choice but to get off. This idiot howling and screaming and running back on is ridiculous. Reminds me of the ride lines at Disney......
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.
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 man was concussed. Blood was running from his nose & mouth and they dragged him down the aisle unconscious. He came to and staggered back on the plane muttering I have to go home...just kill me...So he’s an idiot? Got it.
Makes you feel important to put him down until its your elderly father who doesn’t hear so well and that’s misunderstood as being argumentative and it happens to him.
The same situation is happening all the time with TSA. American men, women, children, disabled, medically challenged people humiliated and manhandled by thugs using rules created by an unthinking bureaucracy on steroids purporting to keep people safe. These yobbos want to feel powerful and act out their frustrations by humiliating and controlling. These “rules” fail to uncover any number of agents, guns, knives & substances every day and in fact in my reading have never uncovered a single actual threat.
But this way we don’t profile.....A whole class of people have arisen who use labyrinthine rules to act in any way that suits them and the heck with the rest of the human race.
