[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]United has a lot problems here, so does the Chicago PD for this happening. However, there comes a point when the passenger has to take a little responsibility for this. No matter how unfair it was he was kicked off the plane (and it was unfair, wrong, and completely mishandled), if he has been chosen to removed from the plane eventually he needed to understand that it was going to be him no matter how wrong, terrible, or bad it was for him. They were not going to take someone off in his place because he refused to obey the order to deplane. [b]He needed to get off the plane before it got physical.[/b]

The people who 'arrested' or removed him, or whatever the right word is did a lousy job of it. But under the circumstances facing him ultimately he ran out of alternatives. He either had to get off the plane and take out his anger and frustration with someone in authority at UA at the airport, or [b]risk being hurt, arrested, and/or several other bad outcomes[/b] on top of those. There are other threads on this site that detail people being removed from planes for bad, wrong, or immoral reasons, not many of those people took the dispute to the point that the airline had to physically remove them from the flight.

I hate what happened, but both sides have some blame to share for it to get to this place, 90% United, 10% passenger.

I hope the passenger gets just compensation for his injuries, and I hope others don't put themselves at risk for being hurt like he did.[/quote]

Yeah...no.  If you're okay typing out a rationale that says physical harm should be expected, you do not "hate what happened" quite enough.

If he was a threat to the airline, the aircraft, or other passengers then physical removal is called for.  What you're advocating is that the airline can be expected to be a threat TO its passengers.  That is NOT okay.[/quote]
