Fortunately, it's already been stated the authority did the wrong
thing
and heads will roll in that department. They had no right to drag
him as
he didn't break any laws.

He refused a lawful order of the flight crew. That is a violation
of a
couple federal laws.

Cite.
An individual on an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction
of the
United States who, by assaulting or intimidating a flight crew
member or
flight attendant of the aircraft, interferes with the performance
of the
duties of the member or attendant or lessens the ability of the
member
or attendant to perform those duties, or attempts or conspires to do
such an act, shall be fined under title 18, imprisoned for not more
than
20 years, or both. However, if a dangerous weapon is used in
assaulting
or intimidating the member or attendant, the individual shall be
imprisoned for any term of years or for life.

That wasn't the case here. He did not interfere, but merely refused a
seat he paid to have.



Not following orders is interference.

The police should not have been involved and was noted as such. The
fault lies with the airlines...period.



of course they should. Period! (I guess that makes it so).

Only in your world.



I am just following your lead.


I stated a fact. Obviously you missed the "noted as such".

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.



The police should be involved with trespassers. Do you think the United
employees should have handled the passengers removal. You keep making
up "the facts".
