Man charged with slapping crying boy. DL1721 Feb. 8

Because if I had been on the flight, I think I would have been arrested for beating the crap out of this jerk:

I'd be interested in stories if you were on the flight.

Doubt I could have held back either. There are a lot of a**holes in this world.

I JUST missed that, was on the 5:30pm MSP-ATL flight that day. Dont recall seeing him boozing it up in the airport. I was eating some tasty food and drinking some thirst quenching margaritas at Axel's Bonfire. From about 3pm until 4:30

I would've taken the federal death penalty just to punch that ignorant, egotistical piece of garbage in the face.

What goes around, comes around.

I'm surprised the guy made it off the flight alive. The racial slur was bad enough, but criminy! Hitting a baby?

Can't believe there are people out there who would slap a crying baby...

The example of why I would rather have a crying baby rather than a drunk adult on my flights.

The thread title isn't too descriptive, so it's no surprise that you didn't see it.

Not sure how this cat made if off the plane if others heard the slur and saw him slap the baby. I would have been escorted off with him after I assaulted the snot out of this trash. We have all had crying babies on a flight. It is what it is. He would have been weeping. I am not trying to sound like some "tough guy" but my blood is boiling.

If Hundley only was in F class, this board would write him off as just another DYKWIA!

I have had kids of my own and now grand kids - so I know I am very understanding of situations like this. I would have been fuming at this.

He slap the toddler? He should not do it. He was not supposed to be. He should be too ashamed for what he did to the baby. It's not acceptable! He will go to prison for 1-year in maximum security facility. They would deserved him banned flying from Delta for life. Didn't he drinking the alcohol? He is too extremely intoxicated.

Good riddance to him!!!

They should put him on the no-fly list.
And hopefully the inmates will take 'good care' of him.
