Where can I find a train that I can be a minority on and be loud and disruptive enough to be kicked off so I can sue for a tidy sum? I'll play the reverse discrimination card. Why should I have to be responsible for my actions?
The only reason people found out was because they chose to publish it n Facebook.
I'm not sure about that. I think I read that an employee of the train first posted about the incident. As I understand, the women are complaining that they suffered not only indignation and humiliation during the act of being forced off the train, but, several also had their respective employments terminated. They claim that the publicity of the event resulted in their employment being terminated.
I could be misinformed/misunderstanding the situation.
I think it will be difficult to prove that they were removed from the train due to race (i.e., discrimination). But, it is certainly possible that they were, even if it is true that other people of different races have also been removed from the train.
Their argument will likely be (should be) that even though other women have been removed from the train in other instances, they were singled out for removal on this instance while their behavior was no worse than / different from the behavior of other people on that train on this day.
It will be interesting to see how the court (if this goues to trial) deals with the terminations, too. The employers will need to show that they terminated the employment relationships for just cause and not due to the bad publicity of the train incident. Of course, the employers are not named as defendants in this case, so, I'm not sure how the court would compel the employers to explain the terminations.
Money grab. If I were the judge, an apology and a free ride would be sufficient. Both of which the train has already offered.
If these women were in fact singled out and removed from the train in a discriminatory manner, i.e., while other groups of passengers were just as boisterous, then an apology and a free ride would in no way be sufficient.
I understand that the company may have offered an apology and free ride as a means of settling the matter just to make it go away. Even if the women were at fault and if the company did not discriminate against them, now that there is a possibility of litigation, I bet the company wishes that it had not made that offer! If the women were in fact discriminated against, they would rightfully be entitled to more than an apology and a free ride.
((LoL)) ... the "Logic" of Narcissistic predators.
Amazing.
If you drop and brake a plate, and then apologize, the plate is still broken. (Traumatized.) Who's going to pay for a new plate?
The BEST why to change behavior in a numbed-out, compassionless, bullying, racist society is to hit the wallet. That's the only thing predators understand.
Ever hear a lawsuit-happy white person claim racial discrimination?
Yes, white people file racial lawsuits all the time. We just had a white guy sue the local city I live in because he was fired from his job and claimed it was due to racial discrimination. It happens all the time.

This is true!
