Here is more of that poor man dragged off of United Airlines the other day.


Courtesy of Raw Story: 

Yet another video has emerged of the man who was violently dragged off a United Airlines flight on Sunday, and it shows that the passenger’s face was covered in his own blood. 

The video shows the man leaning up against the doorway between first-class and economy seating, while he repeatedly says, “Just kill me” and “I have to go home.”

Okay this poor man was clearly NOT the right person for United to choose to take off the plane that day.

He seems incredibly disoriented and is clearly terrified of the police.

Oh and that bloody mouth is NOT from "accidentally" hitting his face on an armrest.

I predict a HUGE lawsuit in United Airlines' future.

By the way here is how this incident affected United Airline's stock prices.

Just a warning this is how United Airlines removes you from a plane when they overbook a flight.


Courtesy of Raw Story: 

United Airlines is coming under heavy criticism after it had security officers forcibly remove a passenger from an overbooked flight. 

A series of videos posted on social media show security officers asking a passenger who was on a Sunday United flight from Chicago to Louisville to leave the plane. 

When the man refused, the officers reached in and did something to cause the man to shout out in pain. Afterward, the officers dragged the man off the plane as horrified passengers yelled that there was no need to resort to such force. 

In a statement provided to NBC News, United explained that the plane’s crew initially looked for people to leave the flight voluntarily because the flight had been overbooked. When no one volunteered, they chose a passenger to be removed, and he refused to cooperate, which forced the crew to call law enforcement officials. 

The airline apologized for overbooking the flight but did not apologize for having security drag the passenger off the plane.

The man claimed to be a doctor who had to see patients in the morning as his reason for refusing to leave the aircraft, and really who can blame him for refusing?

Ultimately it seems that the man returned to the plane looking disoriented and with a bloody face, which really makes no sense whatsoever.

I have to admit that currently I have no interest in flying anywhere with the TSA acting like the Gestapo and demanding that people give up their laptop and cell phone passwords.

But once I do decide to fly again you can bet it will NOT be on United Airlines.
