they lost their whole justification of "employees take precedent", "employees gotta get to their next flight", "inconvenience 4 ppl or 100's"

One thing I do love about this case is how the truth came to light.
All the lies to try to cover up the truth, people trying to "bend" the law to get their way, the victim shaming & blaming, etc. Now, hopefully, Dao gets that Hollywood ending. But can you imagine if this was 1995,when there wouldn't be all this video evidence to help Dao out? Makes me sick again thinking about all the people who got screwed over in the past.

Famb, its short & simple, the United employees wanted to get one over on the paying customers. Was thinking about doing a solid for people in their line of work instead of providing service to the people who's helping pay their pay check. They did everything in their power to have things their way. Disgusting.

interesting case.... been watching it since it happen
Honestly the excessive force was too much....
but its a federal crime to not listen to a flight crew.... you just cant not get up if they ask you..... if you look at the ticket conditions when you purchase flights you will see that they can remove you for any reason.... whether its wrong or not is a next thing....
they will settle cause the pr is looking horrible
other than that dao should of gotten up and united/ police should of did a better job all around

4 Airlines control 80 percent of travel in the US. It's not going to be easy at all to boycott United

Link to anything you said? Because I did a lot of research on this and have not read a single source that claim anything similar to what you said, especially relating to this case.

I was reading the actual contract of carriage and looked up their refusal of transport conditions this morning
United Airlines defense will probably be they had the right to refuse transport because the patient was being uncooperative. It's kind of a lame defense because patient was being uncooperative only because they were wrong to ask him to leave. It's like claiming self defense cuz someone was tryna hit you but the guy is only tryna hit you cuz you hit him first.
No where in the refusal of transport conditions does it say they had the right to kick him out because they needed room for their employees.
They have the right to deny boarding if they need seats for their employees but that's a completely different thing. Dude was already seated.
In the future, I think the airlines will amend their refusal of transport conditions.
This is not going to court. They will settle this with money so big that it's going to make every passenger before Dao regret that they let themselves reboard peacefully

Yeah but didnt his thrashing around cause those injuries? I mean no one hit him that I know of.
I dunno bruhs, I do feel bad for him on some level but he did act like a baby and who knows if he didnt premeditate the whole thing knowing he was gonna sue.

He premeditated it, he said it on video. None of that makes him wrong.

To say premeditated would imply he orchestrated everything and injured himself on purpose. All he said was that if they were going to make him leave, he was going to sue.

Yea I'm sure he bought his plane ticket with the thought of United overbooking the flight and then getting randomly selected while already in his seat to deplane and have aviation police throw him face-first into an armrest.
Do you guys read what you type?

Plus when you're 69 years old... I am sure he has a wide range of medical issues. Being lifted out of his seat, and slammed head first like that, yeah I am sure whatever medical issue he has was aggravated by the assault.
Still waiting on the punk cop names that did this to a grandpa. Whomever they are, I hope the media puts them on blast.
