You really are 'reaching' with that assumptive statement.

So, using your logic are you willfully unconcerned about a baby being physically/verbally assaulted because the child is Black?

I've heard about it allegedly taking place, I'm also aware that he was arrested and will stand trial for the alleged crime. I'm not going to go all psycho calling or writing his employer like a nut job looking for vigilante justice for something you can't even prove took place.

Sometimes public opinion is the best way to chastise this person.... like putting him in the stockades centuries ago.... let the public deal with these social misfits and shame them rather than jail them. BTW... I understand the biggest witness problem this guy has it that there was a federal marshall on the plane that saw the whole thing---- that lawyer is going to have his work cut out for him.

He decided to hit a baby, so let him get hit in his pocketbook

An example WILL be made of this man and his actions.

TheMoreYouKnow: I think your defensiveness is just really odd. Of course no one should harass him. But you seem to think that it's not okay to even talk about this. It's all over the news, of course people are going to want to discuss it. You can argue that people need to wait to see the results of the court process, without turning it into an adversarial political outing where you try to make yourself seem somehow better than everyone else. To turn it into a discussion of the "left" (apparently half or more of the population that you are grouping into some sort of a category that makes them bad in comparison to yourself), is just absurd. Me thinks you're probably either Mr. Hundley himself, or you're a supporter of racism and child beating. If the "right" means being racist and hitting small children in the face, then I'm glad I'm not "right" like you.

There's the "tolerance", lack of understanding and ignorance we've come to expect from liberal morons on the left around here.

I don't condone baby hitting or racism against children, I also don't condone convicting a man in the public arena before he's even given a chance to defend himself. People lie and make **** up all the time, if the case is as clear and cut as many of you make it out to be then there's no need to attempt some sort of vigilante justice by way of his employer or whatever other stupid BS the left likes to use.

If this man hit a child he should pay dearly and given the size of a crowded jet it would be quite hard to do that without being seen by many people.

I am not sure why I see Left/right and black/white being discussed. Witnesses say a child was slapped .... racial words were exchanged apparently, but even if they werent, a child being slapped and him being injured is more than enough.

I'll keep that in mind next time someone from a group of people I dislike does something I don't like.

You are WRONG and way out of line.

Striking a toddler like that is abusive, especially when the child isn't yours.

Alcoholism and child abuse knows no boundaries: it affects people across the socioeconomic spectrum.

You don't appear to have traveled much in airplanes. Intoxicated passengers are very disruptive. I am appalled that the captain of that aircraft, who is responsible for the safety of his passengers, didn't order the crew to get 4 leather belts and restrained that man.

And I doubt that you are a parent. Come back and share your feelings the day some drunk strikes your toddler across the face out of nowhere.

Had it been me and a child of mine, they would have had to pick him up with a spatula.
