This is an important distinction. I'm baffled at how many people here think every opinion is a binary control tactic on the world at large. I can know I wouldn't have done this in that situation while believing that this shouldn't happen to people, regardless of their own behavior.Exactly. Just because I might find myself in a situation and decide to be submissive doesn't mean I believe everyone should react the same.
No, there's not enough blame to go around. Who else is to blame but United? Jesus, what is going on here?
He refused to do a specific thing they required that wasn't optional. a good reason,is besides the point.
You can argue a change of policy would eliminate the issue, argue that offering more money would mitigated the issue is one thing. That they have shitty customer service sure.
Arguing its a shitty reason so they can't enforce it and he shouldn't have to comply? Completely wrong.
People get kicked off of flights all the time, for many reasons, the passenger never gets to dictate the enforcement once a decision is made.
The only option is to comply while on the plane..then afterwards they can pursue action.
Understand that your position is basically "Might makes right"
must accept responsibility for their actions.. they must accept the the consequences of their actions but they don't deserve abuse for the sake of abuse

No its "On a Plane" order must be maintained.
I couldn't care less what happened at the intersection of a street someone sits down and protests that's different.

Do you know what selling something that you don't have is called? Fraud. Strange how that doesn't apply here. I was just watching a doc about a guy who went to jail for fraud for overselling timeshares in a complex.
I know people like bloodydrake
Those type of people follow authority figures no matter what even if it's ethically wrong.
They don't get that those types of opinions is what lead to some pretty fucked up atrocities
Def not saying that this incident is equal to Nazi Germany but dude needs to open his mind up a little bit
Spirit Airlines is arguably better than united. let that sink in
the difference is "on a plane" i agree with authoritarianism while on a plane ...probably on a sub too for that matter.
This makes no sense. Does this apply to all enclosed spaces where one could abuse their power?the difference is "on a plane" i agree with authoritarianism while on a plane ...probably on a sub too for that matter.
Dat economy plus upgrade.
You do realize that the airline created the chaos don't you? The passenger wasn't breaking any rules, or causing any disruption. He was physically manhandled off of a plane that he paid to ride without violating any of it's rules. What the fuck bro?No its "On a Plane" order must be maintained.

I can't believe people are defending the airline. Ridiculous situation and United looks like shit for this.

he's not a victim ...so fuck you too

How about walking down the street?
Could I interest you in a fully taxpayer paid vacation to Rikers Island, citizen?
i agree with authoritarianism while on a plane
I don't understand what most people claiming 'physical assault' etc in here expect law enforcement to do in the event that someone refuses to leave private property when requested to.

Don't know if it's been posted but seriously, fuck United for this. This is indefensible.
Dude just posted that the passenger deserved to get his lip bloodied because he didn't give up his seat
I can't

I mean, you seem to just be empirically wrong. You've granted that this was quite possibly the best course of action available to the guy.
If the specific thing he's being asked to do is beside the point, then it seems like you should be able to come up with reasons why complying in all cases is obligatory that don't lean heavily on analogies to situations where the airline has a good reason to make a request and compliance is cheap.
