It's all damage limitation now. It could take a while.
I wasn't being entirely serious, I don't think they beat him up just because he's Asian. But the truth is that it didn't come as a complete surprise to see that pretty much everyone else in view was white and just fine, as Zenith also alludes to. Of course there are white people who get treated like shite somewhere in the world every minute, and this was a wry comment that perhaps I shouldn't have made in case it was misconstrued.
Nice to see that I have a reputation though, I feel like that PerryJason character now
Also a bit surprised to see so many posters here coming down on the side of the airline. A few months ago I saw someone being chucked off a plane, the first one I've ever seen (in fact, it was a family who left because they were sitting in my seat, the one with the bassinet, and refused to move). They left quietly and it's true that it's entirely up to the captain who flies and who doesn't - in this case, he didn't want passengers who might get angry at 40,000 feet.
That was totally justified, but are people here saying that if the captain asked them to disembark when they had done nothing wrong, they'd get up and leave rather than argue their case? I find that very difficult to believe.
Link to that? I've read quite a few things now and the gist is that they offered $400, then $800, then selected people. You are saying he got vocal during the $400 and $800 phase? I'm very surprised that United didn't mention this in any of their press releases as that would give them a reason to deplane him (or whatever silly verb the yanks use).
The plot thickens, they are digging the shit up on him now:---

This sort of crap belongs on facecloth not here.
If it was EasyJet, he'd have been charged an extra £20 to cover the cost of being dragged off.
Starting to make sense now.
He probably asked to get tossed off (the plane).
Americans appear to have gone soft . In the past he would have been dragged off the plane, then shot dead for being non white.
They may be attempting to smear the wrong bloke.
So.. as it turns out 'The Meeja' confused United Dave Dao with another Dave Dao and now they all stand to be sued for defamation. #United pic.twitter.com/7VJU9kyvVi

They have got it right.
Oh please be true, that is hilarious
Daily Mail went all in as well.
Looking forward to seeing how much this one costs you, @DailyMailUK 🍿 pic.twitter.com/Xbk7i0Yp9R

This doctor will be able to retire soon enough. Wish I was lucky enough to get beaten up on a plane.
I'm glad you didn't say 'pulled off'.
What an absolute clusterf@ck of a mess
It's the other Dave Dao I feel sorry for.
Now the whole world knows that he traded drugs for secret gay sex.
He probably thought he'd kept it all relatively quiet.
Must be why he doesn't go to games anymore.

I was thinking something similar.
Presented as a choice I'd take 10 mins of humiliation and a light beating in exchange for a long and opulent early retirement
Think by now we can be very sure that this accusation is total bollocks.
