Obviously United was in the wrong here, but you might be going a little far. The main purpose of the stretcher might have been for restraining the man.
It's wise to avoid making such inflammatory statements until we know more.
- mnm1 10y agoWhether he was beaten to the point he couldn't walk or restrained on a stretcher doesn't substantially change the colossal fuckup that is this situation nor the fact that they assaulted at least one passenger.
- passivepinetree 10y agoI totally agree with you, but the parent said "The airline assaulted its own customers beating them till they had to be carried out on a stretcher" when a) the police department assaulted the customer, not United staff (although they did call the PD in the first place) b) "beating them till they had to be carried out on a stretcher" obviously implies he was beaten until he couldn't walk, which is an allegation that hasn't been substantiated at this point. I totally agree that United colossally fucked up here, but the statement the parent made that I quoted earlier is patently false. I'm all for being righteously outraged, but can we please stick to factual statements while we're doing it?
- Doxin 10y agoThe main purpose of the stretcher was most definitely because the man was severely injured. Go hang around people with a confused mental state for a while and you'll recognise the behaviour the man shows when het gets back on the plane. He isn't just being a stubborn ass there.
