This has little to do with authority. These were not government agents, they were private security werent they?

 

I think it would be beneficial to not act like a spoiled brat when you dont get your way.

 

I never said he had to agree with them, or take it and move on. He had options other than flopping on the ground, screaming and asking people to kill him.

 

I don't know what they were.

 

If they are only private security guards then what they did is probably criminal.

 

I don't know the answer here either but I assume anytime you are on a plane the proper Jurisdiction is Federal. And that means only Federal Agents should be enforcing any "laws" that are allegedly being broken.

No we won't, this wasnt even the government doing anything it was a private business. Stop exaggerating

 

Sure we won't.......

There absolutely is collusion/partnership between Airlines (Corporations) and the Federal Government which regulates all activities on a plane.

 

The Feds are on the hook here, so is United, so are any private security companies, and so is anyone else that had a hand in this.

Werent you the one asking for more regulations?

I asked in another thread, could he press charges for assault?

 

Sure they have the authority to remove a passenger from the plane, but that doesn't give them free reign to break teeth, give a concussion and break a nose, does it?

Ok.

So if they can remove him and if he resists what are they supposed to do? If he's injured because he resists who's fault is that?

I think it could be worse than assault (and I am spit balling here) but I think it could be a 1983 Violation and could land those security guards in prison for a lengthy amount of time.

 

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

 

Now again, I am just throwing this one out there and it is a legal question for someone with much more legal training than me.

Werent you the one asking for more regulations?

 

Yes, to protect citizens/passengers, A Passenger's Bill of Rights.

So if they can remove him and if he resists what are they supposed to do? If he's injured because he resists who's fault is that?

 

So if someone resists (I don't consider simply sitting in a seat you paid for resisting), your solution is to beat the person into submission?

 

The blame for every hing that occurred in this entire situation is at the feet of United and United alone.

False. It's been proven that he isn't the doctor who had the bad past. Different Dr. David Dao.

 

Um sources?

Hopefully he sues the media for misinforming or mislabeling him with the wrong guy accused of all the crimes he was supposed to have done.

I love how the question about the other 3 is never answered straightforward. Also the bank statement comment tells me all I need to know about your take on it all. It's your opinion United is wrong and not up to you to "end the story". Btw saw this morning that I think last year there were 419,000 involuntarily removals from flights. Didn't see a thread on here from anyone being up in arms about that.

 

The mistake made here was breaking the guy's face. Eliminate the injuries, nobody says a word.

Correct. It still would've been wrong on United's part, but it wouldn't have made national news. They very easily could've removed him (even if he was acting like a 3 year old as some have said) without causing any physical harm.

He is 69, fragile. Bones break easy.
