Is this the new Freerepublic profile? Shut up and follow orders from the mall police.

Do not complain when Barney Fife and his bullet arbitrarily orders you off the plane.

Comply.

I can’t believe the number of Stepford wives on this thread.

The same people who want Dao beaten to within an inch of his life for remaining in his assigned seat act giddy over the fact that United broke laws on a massive scale in their dealings with Dao. Makes no sense at all.

Those airport security guard stormtroopers of Rahm "Rahmbo" Emanuel ("Sanctuary-City-Slim" ) roughed up that old man with impunity, in front of all those witnesses on the plane, and United Airlines has admitted their brutal behavior was highly inappropriate. God only knows what they did to him when no one else was looking, and the cameras weren't recording it.

It is a well known fact that when bad cops inflict physical damage on a person, and leave them battered and bloodied, their dishonest report usually contains references to significant "resistance" and "violence" from the person they pulverized, and that is why "they had to do what they did to him", and "bad security guards" have been known to do that too.

Even Rahm Emanuel's airport security guards do not have unlimited authority to do anything they want to do. They have many legal restrictions on the actions and reactions they are permitted to engage in when "subduing" an elderly flyer.

I am amazed at some of the reactions I've been seeing from FReepers, who seem to think they should always give meek, submissive assent to the authorities, whether those authorities are right or wrong. (I am not calling for violence here in a case like this, just resistance, but I don't see any evidence at all of violence on the part of Dao, just resistance.)

Can you imagine if our founding fathers wussed out like that, and listened to and meekly obeyed "the authorities" at the time, who seriously abused their authority? Instead, the founding fathers said, "When in the course of human events...", and rebelled strongly against the unjust tyranny of "the authority" at that time.

However, there was at least one guy back then who felt it was more important to completely obey the abusive authority. It was Benedict Arnold, and the authority at that time was England's King George III. Benedict Arnold totally sided with that abusive authority, King George III, just like some people here are siding with Rahm's lawless thugs.

Thank God George Washington and his buddies were not wussy traitors like that, and that they stood up boldly for their rights. Americans should always defend their rights.

Have a good night.
