I don't assume anything, i just asked a question.

 

Yes you are. You don't have all the facts and have formed your own opinion. That's an assumption.

Thanks for the insight, in short, if you keep that up your days here at BGP are numbered.

 

Probably true. But isnt everyone with a different opinion that argues it an agitator at those who dont think the same way?

I never post something just to make someone mad.

If you want to continue this you can PM me.

Do you think he acted like an adult? Like the normal adults who exited the plane?

 

No. How he acted is irrelevant though. He was not physical. He was not violent. He did not deserve to be taken out of the airport on a stretcher.

Wrong, at least regarding how he was injured.

 

I don't know what their use of force policies are.

 

I dont know how exactly he got injured.

 

I think both parties were wrong based on what I've seen.

 

I didn't say his injuries were from them dragging him out, i asked how you know they weren't.

I agree, especially considering how he was treated.

 

When people are presented with an ultimatum they don't believe is right/fair/legal and then some Enforcers get physical with you, state of mind goes out the window. He was in a crisis mode.

If I had to guess I would say something was wrong with the dude in his whole actions/response. Like he was either on something he shouldn't have been or should have been on something and wasn't. Maybe that played a part, maybe it didn't, but I still found it extremely odd.

Which even if true, obviously wasn't an issue until the Corporate Enforcers showed up and threatened him with Jail and eventually bludgeoned him.

Whatever.

 

He is a citizen. And even if he wasn't a US Citizen, no one should ever be treated that way in America.

 

Again at the risk of bringing politics into this thing if he wasn't a citizen I'll bet that many of the same people that are critical of him and defending the airline would be singing a different tune.

I sure hope not.

 

This is a Humanity issue and the United States of America should set an example for the world.

Here's a question (and before anyone starts howling I'm in no way shape or form equating Dr. Dao to the historical figure I'm going to bring up nor am I equating the situations other then in both instances a passenger who had paid their fare on a conveyance was ordered to give up their seat so someone else could have it).

 

Was the Montgomery Bus driver who ordered Rosa Parks to give up her seat for a white passenger justified? He was following the laws in place at the time and the policy of the institution he worked for. Ms. Parks sat is a seat originally designated "colored" but when the "whites" section filled the driver moved the sign and ordered her to move. Should Ms. Parks have just done as she was told and as law and custom at the time expected her to?

I did see this comparison in one article.

 

In short, before I saw it I thought to myself that this incident will have historical significance in a similar way to Ms. Parks.

No. He was flopping around like a Duke player, remember?

 

No, just like someone Grayson Allen tripped. :thumb:

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.

 

Yes, I think United is absolutely, 100% in the wrong.
