This concept of relinquishing your civil rights when buying a ticket to fly is truly astounding.
This doctor was beaten for speaking up about being arbitrarily selected for removal AFTER being seated. Why? The airline needed his seat for an employee.
Freerepublic has been invaded by “You must follow orders” posters. It’s stuning.
What’s most astounding in the idea that United is empowered to administer street/vigilante ‘justice.’ Who needs trials? Juries are so passe. Just knock Dao’s teeth out, break his nose, tase him and bash his head.
It’s all good; he deserved it.
We’ve got some bona fide sociopaths in this discussion. Nothing else explains it.
There is a lot of repressed fascist in some.
You are missing the simple point. Dao was trying to enforce justice outside of courts. Our system is not designed for that behavior. Even if he was right and they were wrong, the place to get justice is courts of law, not by physical altercations with enforcement officials. Dao deserved what he received for refusing to obey officials.
