can't believe like this still happens in 2013.
Joe Rickey Hundley was arrested and charged with simple assault when he allegedly demanded that another passenger quiet her 19-month-old crying baby stating, “shut that n*gger baby up.” The man then reportedly followed up the shout with an open-handed slap across the child’s face, The Smoking Gun reports.
The incident occurred on Feb. 8 aboard a Delta Airlines flight. Hundley, who is president of an aircraft parts manufacturing plant headquartered in Hayden, Ohio, denied uttering the racial slur or even putting his hands on the child. The 60-year-old did admit to requesting that the 33-year-old mother of the boy, Jessica Bennett, keep her son, Jonah, quiet.
Hundley, who was traveling to Atlanta to visit a hospitalized relative, told authorities he was distraught on the flight and had only consumed a single alcoholic beverage. Bennett, who was seated next to Hundley, said that her son began to cry when the flight was in its final descent. The young mom said that the al ude change must have disturbed her toddler whom she was desperately trying to calm down.
Bennett told authorities that Hundley did use the racial slur, followed by the open-handed slap across her son’s face which actually intensified his crying. The slap “caused a scratch below [the child’s] right eye,” she told The Smoking Gun.
After Bennett’s child was struck, she received assistance from a few nearby passengers. Todd Wooten, reportedly heard the slur and witnessed the slap. Bennett told authorities she thinks Hundley was intoxicated because he reeked of alcohol and the woman alleges she saw him consume several double vodkas during the two-hour flight.
The Smoking Gun reports that Hundley has had a few brushes with the law in the past:According to Virginia state court records, Hundley was arrested in 2007 following a fight with his girlfriend. Initially charged with simple assault, carrying a concealed weapon, and public intoxication, Hundley subsequently pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor assault rap. Hundley told TSG that the weapon he allegedly brandished was a wine corkscrew.If convicted of the misdemeanor charge Hundley could face up to a year in prison.

Gotta restrain yourself but there truly is little worse than a ing crying kid next to you on a flight.
What a piece of .
LOL
33 with a 19 month old? Where were her other 8 children?
He actually slapped someone elses baby, when the plane was in its final descent. He's a ing animal.
^ I realize which is why I said you have to restrain yourself, as in, normal people lol. I actually think he was just wasted drunk (multiple DOUBLE vodkas on a mere 2 hour flight?) and subsequently went full re .
Somebody shoulda knocked this er out. Slapping a baby? The ?
nvmnd
Oh I know babies crying on planes is killer, as I've been beside/in front of younger, louder babies on much longer flights (LOL @ 2 hours). But you require mental help if you're actually going to slap a child because of this.
You're doing it wrong!!!
that's all I was saying
I know now what you meant but when you say 'restrain yourself' it sounds like you fighting the urge to do what this man did. And no time in my life have I resisted the urge to strike a baby because they're crying.
I've been wanting to do this for as long as I have been traveling. There is always some crying kid in the vicinity withou fail.
Props to the dude on taking one for the team.
I've never had the urge to strike a child but I have had the urge to strike a parent who acted like nothing was happening when their kid was crying... perhaps I should have made that more clear but honestly I thought it was obvious. Who the wants to hit a baby?
Worse? Crying kid or Fat Bas in the seat next to you?
Let it be known that I'm all for slapping kids and telling their moms to shut them the up, not babies.
this man apparently
Fat Bas was 1000000X worse. This obese mother er actually hindered my ability to sit in my seat. I was sore for a week afterwards from contorting my body avoiding his flab.
It's ridiculous. What did he expect flying in coach?
you got issues, shadow!
Shadowflames...which is it?
props to the dude for hitting a baby or not?
c'mon, your ass would be banned from flying if that were true. Crying babies is as ubiquitous as tuberlence
Damn, tough one.
In the one hand a crying baby could get neutrailized somewhat by popping a headset and putting music on blast and in the other hand a fat ass seems to sweat sitting down while the air condictioning is on.
For hygienic purposes I'm gonna go with crying baby.
I'll also say flights tend to with my head a little, not just the ears popping and stuff but the height, speed, etc so maybe I'm more on edge than others.
yeahthis man apparently
