Of course I am not "OK" with the passenger in this case being bloodied while dragged out. It is too bad he didn't go on his own steam, he could have saved himself grief and injury. It is too bad he was injured while being removed. And OF COURSE it is a public relations nightmare for United Airlines.

I wonder how how much of his stubbornness in not leaving the plane had to do with privilege associated with his decades of class privilege as a physician, married to a physician? But given his immigrant background, hard to know. He had to be very hard working (and stubborn! Haha) to get where he is.

Rob, you mention upthread an idea of this being an assault on the lower classes. You are all wet for that idea, this guy isn't a member of your downtrodden brethren..
