Most of these posts I see are prejudiced against United Airlines but the fair and just view would've been this:

Under the code of federal regulations, title 14, chapter 1, subchapter F, part 91, rule 91.11 in subpart A, according to the Federal Aviation Administration it says, "No person may assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with a crewmember in the performance of the crewmember's duties aboard an aircraft being operated.

Most of the people saying you can't deny service to a man after boarding are dead wrong as crewmember's can and WILL pick off and choose to remove people. The staff was well within their right to call security to remove the man. What is potentially wrong is security using excessive force but to his credit he got suspended.

For anyone else thinking this is going to be a fruitful lawsuit are mostly wrong too, the plaintiff would most likely lose in this case so the best he could hope for is a small settlement outside of court at best. 

Yah it's like you are going to a fency restaurant with your wife/husband (you have a reservation). You take your place and order a meal and some wine. 10 minutes later, the waitress comes to you and asks you to leave, because some employees from the restaurant needs your seats, they are starving... please come back tomorrow...
