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.

Sorry DD that is how any one from outside your country sees it.

And many from within as well.

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.

+1, nailed that one DJ
-
+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

Oh yes. Another less than admiral trait of yours. Always needing the last word. Even if is is nonsense.

Another 'Catch of the day'

Racism is alive and well in every country around this world, and it always will be. Has it gotten less? Yes, it has and in many areas of the USA it no more apparent that in "advanced" European countries, but make no mistake there will always be segments of every society that will be racist.

Did you land it at your Spanish airbase?

The passenger in question is Vietnamese American.

Looks like there was a lot of RCI in making this post:
Dao is a Vietnamese refugee.
Despite some initial speculation that Dao was of Chinese descent, his daughter clarified during Thursday's event that her mother and father had both immigrated to the United States from Vietnam. His lawyer, Tom Demetrio, revealed that Dao compared what happened on that flight to the fall of Saigon:
"He said that he left Vietnam in 1975 when Saigon fell, and he was on a boat and he said he was terrified," Demetrio said, sharing a conversation he had with his client. "He said that being dragged down the aisle was more horrifying and harrowing than what he experienced in leaving Vietnam.?

Starman is correct on his post. And the moron that created the post is doubly wrong.
