So the questions I still have- What's the legal difference between 'Denying Boarding' and kicking someone off? Can you legally kick someone off an airplane 'just because' (i.e. not oversold/security/safety)? Who did the removing- law enforcement or United employees? What's the legality of private employees assaulting someone? This is all about level of outrage though- whether the guy should sue for civil damages or should file criminal complaints.

> Can you legally kick someone off an airplane 'just because' (i.e. not oversold/security/safety)? Yes, see Rule 21 in https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/contract-of-carriage.aspx?Mobile=1#sec21 https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/contract-of-carriag.... One of the subpoints is that they can remove you for noncompliance with crew requests, and also, "disorderly conduct". They can even remove you just for smelling bad (H-16).
