> If he doesn't get off the plane what else are they supposed to do?

Refuse booking at the gate.

Not give seats that paying customers are already occupying to their staff.

Not remove paying customers using so much reckless force that they break their nose and teeth in the process.

Accept that they've made a mistake and send their staff in another vehicle.

I mean once they decide someone should not be on the flight. Most people would just do as they are told and seek compensation or pursue in courts. Mistakes happen, but most people don't seek physical confrontation. Society doesn't function if people seek physical confrontation with law enforcement.

This man was different for some reason. I hope he is a rare case.

Like that passenger, who did NOTHING. We even have a video (not the first one that was published, a later one) that shows wat he did: NOTHING.

No, the real problem are people like you. You should be removed - from everything. Do you wat to see an asshole? Do you have a mirror?
