Well it didn't take the screamer long to get his lawyers lined up

[MaryL]

I guess there's more to the story than meets the eye. Was Dr. Dao escorted off the plane earlier? Only to return to his seat, and resist authoritie's SECOND request to leave permanently? I admirer guy that sticks to his guns, airline overbooking has to end. I would have just left the first time. But, he was being disruptive...and so it goes.

Watch now: Dr. David Dao's lawyers, daughter speak to the media

It's always instructive when some jackboot authoritarian citizen-abuse event happens ---- who comes out on which side.

Always instructive, rarely surprising.

To a conservative the worst possible crime is not accepting, without question, instructions from 'authority'.

Complete nonsense of course but whatever....

One of the most regular barbs thrown at liberals is that they act disruptively or unlawfully...or if they question or criticise authority they are anti-cop or don't support the troops or want to destroy America.
Essentially, by not accepting authority they're anti-American.
It's a point of difference that Conservatives draw between themselves and Liberals

Now put that into perspective with the Bundy's at Nevada and Oregon.

Haha, excellent point.
Somehow...bringing guns seems to change the narrative from being ant-American to being a Patriot.
Just sitting down with placards and chants means you deserve a beating or macing and, for good measure, prosecution.

Uniteds attempts to evict paying customers from their seat was disruptive

Agreed. Isn't ironic how the "small government" individual liberty "loving" Tea Party conservatives always come out on the side of big government thuggery?

Rather predictable tho.

Again, you are an idiot to think this is about authority.

If I hired you to come clean my house and even had a contract, and out of the blue I ordered you out of my house, would you refuse to leave because it would be too authoritarian, and too cowardly to obey my command?

It was extreme, what WAS the correct response?

Yes, and it completely sucked.
Contemplate complaints and lawsuits later, but for now comply with their demands, since for one thing it's not your ******* plane, and allow everyone else at least to get home on time instead of scaring the **** out of other passengers with your three year old-like wailing.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

United is at fault

They had no business removing paying passengers once they were seated. When Republic called and said they needed four seats, United should have just said .....too late, we have already boarded

Yes, and that's great that this stupid practice is now likely to end.

HOWEVER, until that happens, how about acting like the rest of us grown-ups and not ******* up the day for everyone else.

Of course, I keep forgetting that the universe orbits around this one asshole paseenger.

Bullshit
Acting like a grownup means the airline realizes that kicking off people who need to reach their destination that day was going to cause trouble

Blame the airline for provoking the disturbance, not the passengers for being disturbed

The airline is at fault for having a system like this in the first place, but once the police come the adult thing to do is comply, then contemplate a lawsuit.
Instead we have the little three year old narcicistic go into his tantrum ******* up everyone elses flight.

I heard the tape. Dr Dao never threw a tantrum and was quite respectful. He explained the reason why he could not miss the flight

United threw a tantrum when nobody surrendered their seat

Lol !!

Respectful? Heeeeee heeeeeee!!!

That's a good one !!!

The correct response was to tell Republic that the flight had already been boarded and that inserting their employees would be disruptive
They should have asked for volunteers and once there were none.....fly without bumping anyone

United scared the hell out so everyone when they said if nobody volunteered they would pick someone
United scared the hell out of when they called in the Brute squad
United scared the hell out of everyone when their goons knocked a paying passenger unconscious and dragged him bloody off the plane

United scared the hell out of every potential customer who asks...what if that was me?

Lawyers for Dr. David Dao, the Kentucky doctor who was violently pulled from a United Airlines flight on Sunday, have called a press conference for 11 a.m. Thursday in Chicago. His daughter, Crystal Dao Pepper, will also speak....

Problem is with your comments, this wasn't about any of that.

If you're having dinner in a restaurant, and suddenly waiters come to your table and tell you you must leave because they have a large party coming in that needs all the tables. Do you leave, or do you refuse because you believe it's cowardly to give in, and believe it's too authoritarian of the restaurant to tell you what to do?
Do you hold on to the table and refuse to leave and scream your bloody head off even when security comes in and demands that you leave?

After reading all of you ******* liberals posts here, apparently this is how you fuckers behave.

More and more I see why so many people believe liberalism is a mental disorder.

I blame airline policies. I don't fly anymore, because they can find all sorts of ways to screw the consumer. Outrageous charges for carry on's to this ridiculous overbooking. IF we are equating Dr Dao to Dr. King resisting the slings and arrows of outrageous laws, well, OK. But I smell something fishy here.

It is a business decision.....bump you so they can give your seat to someone more profitable

That is what they did to Dr Dao.......we have someone we will make more money off of to take your seat

Nope Nope Nope.

They asked for volunteers, then when no takers came forward they drew names. This is a fucked system, they should have kept upping the money they were willing to pay, eventually they would get all the "volunteers" they needed.

United used a fucked system that normally works, this time they ran into a buzzsaw temper throwing narcicistic little prick whose time was more important than everyone elses. He had to get to work the next morning, apparently he was the only one with that situation, so the passengers needed to bow down and give in to the hissing baby in the kids seats.

He was the one solely who brought the house down and made everyone late with his behavior.

How come since overbooking and getting tossed off planes happens all the time, this story hasn't been repeated over and over?

Answer: Because in the past, like the other three passengers on this flight. passengers act like adults and make the best out of a fucked situation, instead of making a titanic spectacle of yourself.

But I know, I know, in the past, all of these thousands of other people have all been "cowards" for giving in to the airlines. This time, they ran into a liberal, and don't folks know that liberals refuse to do as instructed, because that would be too cowardly, and giving in to authority.

[MaryL]

Resistance to unfair laws or business practices, civil disobedience? I would have submitted if I was asked to to leave. I guess I would have to draw the line at a far more substantial issue. But Dao's stand was either a temper tantrum or a individual act of self expression. Either way it took guts.
