The United Airlines goons did not “beat the crap out of” that idiot criminal ‘doctor’.
They asked him to move, he screamed that he would not comply. When the SECURITY TEAM came on board to remove him, he screamed and hit his own head and pretended to be knocked out as they dragged him off the plane (if you look closely, unconscious people do not hold their own head up and assist in being dragged) Then, when they set him in the hall and went to get medical help he magically recovered and ran screaming back onto the plane.
United CEO acted stupidly by not pointing this out, and caving in like a coward and apologizing for DOING NOTHING WRONG.
United should have sued HIM for the media damage he caused. There was video of him saying (in advance) that he was going to resist them.
Screw them.
NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO MOVE. PERIOD.
I would have taken a few of those security goons to the hospital with me.
Their freaking problem, get another plane for their damned employees. Once you agree to take me somewhere at a particular time, that is IT; someone is going to the hospital if you try to change it; if we get a few million people who wouldn’t put up with that crap instead of sheepishly just getting up and moving when asked we would be a better people for it.
And no, I don’t give a rip WHAT the ‘terms and conditions’ on that ticket said; if you didn’t notice a condition on page 223 of your mortgage that said they could repossess your house anything for any reason, should you just leave? No; just because someone sneaks stuff in the boilerplate doesn’t mean we should be abused because of it.
