Man Who Struck Toddler Loses His Job. Good.
When I first read this story several days ago I thought it was a joke. It’s no joke.
A man charged with slapping a toddler on a Minneapolis-to-Atlanta flight is out of a job, his former employer said Sunday.
Joe Rickey Hundley, 60, of Hayden, Idaho, is no longer an employee of AGC Aerospace and Defense, Composites Group, Daniel Keeney of DPK Public Relations confirmed Sunday night.
[…]The boy’s mother, Jessica Bennett, 33, told the FBI their flight was on final descent into Atlanta when her 19-month-old son started to cry due to the altitude change. Hundley “told her to shut that (N-word) baby up,” FBI special agent Daron Cheney said in a sworn statement. She said Hundley then slapped him in the face, scratching the boy below his right eye and causing him to scream even louder.
Words fail.

The pertinent detail is that a third person saw the slap and is named in the FBI affadavit (which doesn’t attest to a scratch or to alcohol). Without that it would be a he said/she said story.
Good. I hope his life is destroyed.
“I’m TIRED of these M-fing BABIES on this PLANE!!”
The walled wingnut compound they are building will be perfect for that guy once he gets out of jail.
In other good news, he’s about to find out how the 47% live. He’s 60 years old, out of a job, likely no medical insurance, in a still-depressed job market (especially for 60 year olds) and 5 years away from Social Security and Medicare.
Have fun picking up aluminum cans for recycling money, chum. You sure won’t be getting any jobs babysitting.
He could either end up scrounging for work while bitching to anyone that listens how hard it is for a white man to get ahead in Obama’s America or he could land a gig at Fox News getting on camera to bitch about how hard it is for a white man to get ahead in Obama’s America.
It could go either way.
LG beat me to it. This episode sets him up for some lucrative wingnut welfare.
