        He paid for a ticket and was sitting in his seat. He was a doctor and needed to see patients the next morning. What the fuck was the lesson?

        That whoever you are, however safe you think you are, a large company can fuck with you for no reason and authorities will take their side?

        I guess so. As long as someone is paying more than you are, you don't mean shit.

        He declined to voluntarily give up his paid seat so they assaulted and forcibly removed him. Nah, there'll be no subsequent lawsuit... ✈️😒

        refused to leave the flight voluntarily. Is that not an oxymoron?

        This is absolutely disgusting. The way we treat one another makes me sick. I would have left that flight even if it meant being stranded.

        Not United Guards. No such things. They are Chicago Airport police which explains the treatment of another human being.

        This is super weird. I remember airlines offering free tickets and what not, slowly raising the ante till someone accepted.

        Perhaps they should rethink how they book flights to prevent having to murder children next time

        not even remotely defending this behavior, but reporting that they "beat him unconscious... his comatose body" is visibly false based on vid

        what they did was bad enough, no need to inflate the story
