Physician removed forcibly from United flight after overbooking--UPDATED

[Lyricalinklines]

117. WTF? Responders are focusing on the airlines and not the unjust overuse of physical force?

To be sure - the airlines practices oversell and this is known. Customers still put up with it, so the industry keeps doing it. Example of entitled thinking by the airlines that business profits are preferable to treatment of its citizen and the end justifies the means in doing so.

I haven't read to this point a single response disputing the use of physical force resulting in a human being PHYSICALLY knocked out and PHYSICALLY DRUGGED off a plane so a later arriving human could use his seat!?! Why??

Obviously everyone paid for a ticket. Those arriving last need accept first come, first served in this situation. If citizens are going to accept a business is allowed to physically force them off a plane them those citizens also need accept the business determining WHO that citizen is, regardless of status/class. Other industries over selling do the same thing = concerts for instance?

A business industry has lobbied for the right to oversell on the chance someone won't use their paid for ticket. Based on the business might not have enough seats sold? Small business could never get this entitled special protection from the government! This thread illustrates why our country is where we are = citizens allowing big business to be protected against its customers - CITIZENS! And being ok with another citizen being mistreated/mishandled/harmed in the process! He didn't struggle! He was sitting down. There were three security officers.

My view, my point..... physical force in this situation seems to be unwarranted.
