Follow-up: Forced to sit in the toilet stinks, but does it deserve $2 million? {Gadling}

May 16th 2008 3:25PM Not against the $2M amount....and here's why...
Oh! and also...I do not know this guy from adam...

The way I understand litigation works is to make an example of wrongdoers and you do that by suing big. Now if this person was a celebrity, I bet they wouldn't have been treated that way. I also believe that the fact that he had a pass and had not paid for the ticket does not diminish his rights as a passenger. If that were so, should we expect less each time we get a discount?

They disrespected him, humiliated him and endangered him. Now if this was your child...could any amount, leave alone $2M be enough? Why is disrespecting, humiliating and endangering worth different for different classes of people?

It angers me that the pilot and staff had the audacity to imply that this guy was worth less than anybody else on board.
