The story & video from the fiasco onboard an overbooked United Airlines flight just shows how racism is still alive & in the USA.The CEO rapidly retracting his first statement claiming the passenger was aggressive.A 68 year old KOREAN doctor????
Yet another 'stunning' own goal

Said Doctor was not as good a samaritan as Doctors should be. He was disbarred in 2004 for accepting sexual gratification from a male patient in return for providing him with prescription drugs.

Of course race card has to be played if it's anyone but Caucasian. If so then it becomes religious discrimination.

Three other people were booted off before this guy. They were American Caucasians.
But never mind about that, MSM hasn't reported it much. Apparently this guy was the last one to buy a ticket on the flight. Apparently.

The other 3 people accepted a cash offer before they boarded the plane. They were given cash and a ticket on the next plane.

Made me chuckle.

Ryanair Passenger Charged 15 Euro For Being Dragged Off Plane

IN a bid to keep up with other airlines that it admires and aspires to be like, budget flight providers Ryanair have announced that they will be following United Airlines example, when it comes to dragging people off their planes, adding that they will be imposing a 15 euro charge to cover the cost of the process.


United Airlines regained their title as worst way to travel yesterday after footage emerged of a plain clothes officer wrestling a man out of his seat and dragging him off the plane following an argument in which the man failed to accept that he was not allowed to stay on a flight that he had bought and paid for.

Always looking for new ways to inconvenience their own customers, Ryanair quickly announced that they really like the way UA handled the situation, adding that they?d been ?looking for something just like this? to make their own flights just that little bit more wrought with tension and misery.

Seeing no sense in kicking the shit out of someone for free, Ryanair went ahead and added a 15 euro charge, ?just for the craic?.

?We?ll be accompanying each kicking with a little trumpet sound,? beamed a spokesperson for the airline.

?Now, we?ve all seen the video of what happened on the UA flight, and the subsequent online backlash. But honestly, it looks like no big deal to us. If UA can get away with overselling flights and then kicking the piss out of people who won?t leave, then we think that?s something we could really get on board with?.

The spokesperson concluded by stating that priority passengers will receive priority thumps in the face, and would receive preferential treatment when being dragged away kicking and screaming.

Not anyone, it's only an absolute moron who sees a race element to this story.

+2. I have been the subject of racism claim that was positively disproved.  I can unequivocally say race is not the card to play!

Looks like some have led sheltered lives,or just cannot accept what goes on in real life.

I love Nookies posts. He can never rest the opportunity to stick his foot in his mouth. Who are you to assume or know what kind of lives we have lived?

A 'classic' from another who will never be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Keep on pedalling
