Some people have forgotten that, in numbers, they have power to change things. This incident can be such a motivator for change.

Airlines, like every other business, needs to remember that it is their customers who keep them in business.
I hope so.

He's smart enough to know they can't win this one, at least not in the court of public opinion.

Then you are not thinking very hard.

He was right to stand his ground on being deplaned. But once he was removed, the thing to do was go get medical help and a lawyer to help you collect your 6 figure retirement fund, not go back past security and start the scene over again.

This really shouldnt be necessary to explain.

And who they might be? Please list them.

If you pay a little attention you will know who is liberal and who is not. I see some from the right and I am glad they see it too. But please show me what you claim.

It is in the "How to be a good sheeple" handbook.

Good Lord, what has this country come to when idiots try and defend the actions of UA in this?

What a load of horse puckey. The guy sitting in his seat is endangering the lives of others?

Man, you really have been conditioned to be a good little sheeple when you so ardently defend this.

The one thing I will say is that every single person who has spoken in defense of United is practically inviting airlines to go on treating them and every other passenger like crap. Why not just slap a big, fat "kick me" sign on your back?
Srsly! God forbid the airlines actually start to think about their customers for a change!

What? The airline brought the security on board and authorized them to act. When they did so violently the airline did nothing to stop them.

Holy cow, what fricking video are you watching?
