United Airlines violently drags a doctor off a plane so employee could take his seat

Indeed. In fact I was on a flight where someone needed medical attention and it was announced requesting a medical professional to assist, if one was on board.
I mean even if he does have a... questionable past, still no reason for united to treat him this way (especially since I'm highly doubtful they or the security were aware of these). Unacceptable treatment regardless of who he is as a person.

This is completely irrelevant.
Even if he wasn't a doctor it would change how awful the situation is.

"no angel" right?
Can you tell me what this has to do with his treatment on this flight? I'm trying to make the connection but can't, so can you help me out here?
They was on video and still liedIt is standard practice unfortunately especially against minorities.
Meanwhile the CEO of United and the Chicago Police blatantly lie in their statements about the incident like witnesses and video aren't being widely circulated.
He wasn't "denied boarding" since he was already on the plane
He did not fall, there is video of the officers beating him
Would you mind posting your full name so that we can delve into your past to make sure you are qualified to condemn the victim?

So by posting this you're saying he deserved to be beaten?
I can't think of any other reason why posting about his past might be relevant to what happened over the weekend.
Well surprise surprise, scumbag cooperations unite to reject any wrong doing from their continuous fuckery. If they're writing hit pieces about the victim, they're most certainly fucking people over themselves. Got to stick together, y'know.
It's so transparent what they're doing it's almost laughable.
That says out costumers, not our customers.I was bored so I went to test my amateur Photoshop skills.
He comes the character assassination.
Just say he deserved to be beaten

Jesus they actually went there.
"He fell and hit his head multiple times on the armrests."

You guys, he is rich and may or may not have committed a crime in the past. So, in light of that, its OK that United had some goons beat him bloody and physically remove him from a flight.
Son of a bitch.

So, what? Finally, justice is served?
Already seeing this on FB as "Now you can't use the 'He's the doctor!' argument!" Well, how about I just use "This is a shitty way to treat a paying customer argument?" What does his past have to do with ANY of this? You think those officers ran a damn search on his history before they decided to drag him out of his seat?
Yeah let's do this please.
It's just... not in the cards for you Bronson.
Wow, he sounds like a bit of a scumbag. Not that it's relevant to the discussion at hand - no one at United knew of his past and if they for some reason did, it shouldn't be taken into account.
But this guy would make an amazing Persona confidant - the gambling/card skills, the medicine, the sordid history to be slowly revealed... he's got it all.
Another member was just banned for this.
This is irrelevant and doesn't have any link with what has happened.

Why would that be the lesson when they're never held accountable by their supervisors, the community, or the courts?
If you can get away with bold-faced lies even in the face of HD audio/video, and you'll have a good chunk of the public nodding in agreement no matter what the evidence or eyewitnesses or chain of logic says, and the new Attorney General is saying "our own department's recent investigations into local policing are disturbing, because they imply that cops are corrupt, and we know that isn't true"...why would you not continue to lie?

*grumbles* fuckin' anime card games
I can't wait for him to start freaking out about how he hates his dad right before practice for the big school play starts

Exactly.
Dude did a crime in the past, had his license suspended, and is now back to practicing medicine. Who gives a shit in the context of what happened? Oh yeah people that were looking for a reason to justify this. People that can now say "glad this happened" and feel justified instead of racist.

Not only do you get the shit beat out of you, but then you have everyone digging through your past to vindicate their prejudices.
This brings up a good fuckin' question tho
Is there an Poker Anime? Please tell me there is a Poker Anime that takes place in Las Vegas.
Yo it's messed up what they did but all that info that tmz divulged is all people need to turn on someone. Once the public hears that things might change. Wouldn't be surprised if this guy just tucks his tail between his legs and tried to forget about this....Who am I kidding. Any lawyer would kill for this case
fuck these stories, i mean, come on...
All I want to know is if he said something about J. law's butthole on reddit

I don't care if he was a member of the Third Reich. If he wasn't a threat to the safety and wellbeing of those onboard the aircraft, there's no excuse for him being battered and dragged down the aisle. Posting irrelevant shit like this is tantamount to cheerleading for the idea of a corporate police state.
Precisely. This has NOTHING to do with what happened to that man on that plane.
If anything, they needed to be tougher on him, right? Break his arm probably... Nah, too much, well, maybe some fingers.

Israel should have got United to help them re-accommodate the West Bank.
Everything was going so good!

I really want the poster to tell us what about story is relevant to what happened to him.
Completely and utterly irrelevant to what happened on the plane.

Holy shit this guy needs to write a book.
Helps build up the "he's no angel and therefore deserved it" narrative though. Not that it matters because United is completely to blame for this case.
These hit pieces and character assassination articles makes it out to be that is infact United that is commissioning these "news sites" to find dirt on him in an effort to salvage their reputation. Got to quickly direct attention elsewhere instead from their sinking rep and their tanking stock. The most hilarious part is that almost everyone is seeing through their bullshit.

A lot of jokes have been done already, but I figured out a new company song they could use:

Please tell us more about how he was no angel. I love how these posts have this whole "....uh......" or " er......" like they stumbled on some massive clue.
