I just cant believe a guy with a criminal record this bad would make a scene. Dont draw attention to yourself.
" hi im doctor dumbass, I sell drugs for money and trade drugs for sex, I lost my medical license for a while"
moron.

This is more about what happened on the plane and less about his gay sex life. This is another example of going bad to worse. There is no relevance to his United Airlines seat. The guy just got his face caved in and his teeth knocked out and now they are calling him a faggot? He somehow deserves this? I wouldn't want him to be my proctologist, but I would sit next to him on an aircraft (unless he tried to penetrate my personal space).

Bottom line for me? There's enough what-the-actual-fuck-were-all-these-people-thinking to provide everyone involved with a big ole bowl full. Everyone involved contributed to the cluster fuck that is this whole episode.

I guess you couldnt read my post. I didnt say what happened was right. I said you would think he would keep a low profile. nearly 100 FELONY counts of selling prescriptions for money. I say that makes him a dirtbag. I couldnt care any less that he is gay or whatever . Im saying why make a scene when you have such horrible skeletons in the closet. Me personally I would have gotten up and then pushed united for a better deal. I guess the fact that he IS a dirtbag is why he did what he did. I would say he has impaired judgement and bad decison making skills.
Clearly united is fucking stupid. in this age to do anything like that is stupid. you are being video taped every minute of everyday now in public. think about the consequences.

I believe there are more consequences by doing nothing. That dumb perverted felon dirtbag asian guy just threw a 3 pointer to keep us all from getting screwed by United and the rest of the airlines.

According to this report it was not legal eviction from said aircraft. Even quotes CFR which governs FAA employees actions. They broke his nose and knocked out two front teeth? Seriously?

That's not a report, it's an editorial claiming the flight in question wasn't an overbook situation. She may be right but I don't think her analysis is definitive. Dao's injuries were horrible but have no more relevance to the question of whether or not he should have complied with the deboarding than his prior convictions, drug abuse, or past sexual history -- and honestly, if he did indeed hit his face on an armrest as part of his hysterical violent resistance, his injuries were essentially self-induced. On the other hand, his past history of PTSD does help explain his behavior and lends credence to the idea that the aviation security officers did NOT cause his injuries.

3-pointer? Hardly. He DID kick a 60 yard field goal for a tort action lawyer (followed by Munoz dropping the ball behind the line and committing a safety since we're using a football analogy). Overbooking is going to continue to be an industry practice because it's an economically efficient way for the airlines to meet the continuing phenomena of no-shows. United won't call for aviation security to deplane passengers anymore but they're still going to overbook and that's still going to make people unhappy in some cases.

I was talking basketball - even though I am not a sports person. I'm not sure what is going to happen but think status quo is no more after all the financial damage that has been done to UAL this week.

Here is another UAL shit show. Can I get a beverage with my handcuffs: http://www.latimes.com/business/laza...412-story.html

Or maybe they'll just overbook less which means a greater likelihood of a cancelled seat not being filled by a paying customer, and since it costs almost as much to fly with an empty seat as it does with a full one, fewer paid fares for seats then means everybody else gets to pay a little more.

And before you say "well, we'll just fly the competitors airlines" you better believe the competitors are watching this and will probably take similar actions.

And if Dr. Crazyass gets a nice settlement check from UA, where do you think THAT money is going to come from? Yep, the suckers, I mean the Flying Public, you know, you and me.

Yay! We all get to pay more for airline travel!

I'd gladly pay a little more to never have to worry about someone telling me that the ticket I paid for is not longer valid. Going to the airport and missing a flight is not like having to pull out of the drive-thru to wait for your food to be cooked.

Regarding his history: Irrelevant, his criminal history has no bearing, and his medical history certainly doesn't invoke national inspection. You're entitled to HIPPA protection. Why is his medical history national news? He didn't shoot up a school, he refused to give up his seat. If he's not serving time, it's not your damn business. Would you want the entire country trying to figure out every possible way you've fucked up in any related circumstance? How many people rejected your advances in high school. Pictures of you picking your nose. Things you told a counselor or HR rep in private. How many days you took off work. Etc. etc.

Regarding Lawsuits/Qualified Immunity/Standing:
You're forgetting some pretty big issues about the way the Court works. He only needs to plead a claim that will survive, and go for a jury trial. United will settle it out to avoid press coverage. He doesn't need to prove the claims terribly well; a jury would be sympathetic if it went to trial anyway. Going to court isn't about law or facts, or justice. Want a claim that will survive? Allege racial profiling in the selection. Done.

Bingo on all the above.
