RE: Is it fair to be ripped off an airplane after it was overbooked?
Now they're victim-blaming by digging into the doctor's past and finding he supposedly traded drugs for sex. However bad that sounds, the security that physically injured the man by removing him from the plane didn't know about his past. They would've done that to anyone. To go back and point at the man's sordid past does nothing but give the message, "Well he was a bad guy anyway, so he deserved it."

Exactly. That doesn't change anything. They messed up how they got him off the plane... they need to accept that. I am sure more money would have gotten him off... or at least someone else overhearing thousands of dollars being offered to catch the next flight. I know I would have :)
But as we know the airline companies are not in the business of giving away money...
I hadn't seen this yet but I kinda figured this would be the direction they would go... I figured they would try to figure out who his patients were and why it was so important that he not miss that flight...
