An Idaho man accused of uttering a racial slur and slapping a crying 19-month-old boy on a Delta Air Lines flight has surrendered to federal authorities.
Joe Rickey Hundley of Hayden, Idaho, turned himself in to federal officials in Idaho on Tuesday morning, the U.S. attorney's office in Atlanta said.
Hundley was recently charged with assaulting a minor in the February 8 incident. According to court documents, Hundley, during a flight to Atlanta, allegedly told the baby's mother to "shut that (N-word) baby up."
He then turned around and slapped the child in the face with an open hand, according to the documents.
Those Idahoans need to get out more and realize the world has fast forwarded to 2013.
You mean in 2013 people aren't biggoted anymore and judging an entire group of people (like from Idaho) no longer occurs?
That is it . Idaho is a red state. go figure.
Thanks for the dose of hypocrisy, PM. I guess geographicism is still acceptable.
What a broad brush you use. According to your comments, all Californians are gay or all Washingtonians are potheads. YOU need to jump into 2013!
Some o9ne has anger management and racial problems to say the least. This guy had a great job in the areospace industry that he lost also. Considering that he is 60 years old I hope he has saved up for retirement brecause no one is going to hire him with this on his record.
He could always become a high paid speaker at tea party rallies. Maybe do some PR work for the NRA?
Wow, pretty high-brow of you to imply that Tea Partiers and NRA members are angry racist people.
as well as a drinking problem looks like too
Fox News just gave him a show.
If it walk like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, and people who identify with its ideological positions have a tendency to be ducks...
Take a good look folks.
This is what a steady diet of Faux News and hate radio does to the brain.
You mean the space where a brain should be. God bless this white christian child beater.
and damn to you pope, klanstash
WIth the popularity of both FoxNews and conservative radio, I would expect a whole lot more baby-slapping if your theory was correct.
Yup. Absolutely right. If you aren't an old, white, hateful, angry man then you must get out of the way.
It's fun watching the dinosaurs become extinct!
Well, at least this child will get to go to college for free. Racism is alive and well, it just moved into the shadows.
Nah, it just moved to North Idaho. Quite a few years ago. Remember Butler and the Aryan Nations?
He...Not From Hayden.....Idaho kicked them out years ago as well. Heard they moved to Washington. Does that mean Washington state is racist?
This is why I support the euthanization of old people.
Well, that escalated quickly. We'll just call you Joe Rickey II.
Greetings, Ms. Troll. How's life under the bridge?
The comment I was replying to has disappeared! My comment actually made sense in the original context.
Try slapping my child in the face sometime.
It will eb the last thing you do.
Exactly. I'm surprised the mother did not scratch his eyes out or was she totally stunned?
Ill bet the mother felt the same way! She probably doesn't even know who sired the noisy little mongaloid.
Tucker are you not a result of hill folks inbreading??
Yup, and that will be the last time you hold your baby for a long time. Your talking of killing him right? Or doing major harm to him. If you tried it I'm sure you'll be happy with the outcome.
Clear case of self-defense, no need to call cops or let the law handle it
If it cried next to me on a plane I'd love to blacken its beady little eye.
tucker I agree with you except one thing...........I would not blacken the childs eye. I would do that to the person who wrote they would " blacken the beady eyes".
Yeah that way we can point them out to our children and say "children this is what a hateful bigot looks like. Arent you glad we got rid of most of them?"
If Satan is your God, then you are absolutely correct.
If satan is your god you are a true christian.
You haven't even a clue what a true Christian is. Your name should have been Poop.
I believe his god-of-the day was double vodkas. It sounds like he needs a stint in rehab in addition to whatever he's going to get.
We need more men who are accused of slapping an innocent toddler in the face?
We need more men who spew racism and hate at a mother and her baby?
I’m sorry, please tell me what part of that is admirable?
Forgive them, Lord. They know not what they do.
nooo, dah man looked at that woman wit her baby in a drunken stupor and got to thinkin' about the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice...and realize he couldn't compete...
i guess they call dat a whiteman's complex...
why, do fuss? the race of the parent(s) or the child is irrelevant...
the drunkard perceived the child as biracial, abused its mother, labeled it with a slur.
...and think it shuddah been his baby...
thatsah complex!
If anyone or everyone involved in this had been armed, this would have never happened, oh wait...
Sad state in America where hitting babies and using raclal epithets is acceptable behavior regardless of your prejudices. My own says to put him in a dark hole and never let him out.
Anyone ever sat next to a parent that let their kid scream on a flight the whole way? Makes you furious. He shouldn't have touched the kid but a slap in the face isn't gonna kill him. No one thinks it's "cute" to hear a baby wail at any public place.
...Apply that kind of thinking to your own child (hopefully you don't have any) and get back to us.
Oh, you must have no children yet.. good.. dont have any.
Hey stup!d, the toddler was crying because the plane's ascent made his ears hurt.
The kid was crying because the change in pressure made his ears hurt, thats it. There was no 'scream on a flight the whole way'
the mother stood up, holding the child, in the back of the plane for most of the flight. The only reason she sat back down was to land. She went above and beyond to accommodate this monster.
Being someone who flys alot, a crying baby is annoying as .. k on a plane.
Ever notice that young children cry on descent? There is a reason for this. At their young age, their ear canals are curved and not as straight as they will be when they are older. Meaning: the pressure of a plane's descent hurts them more than it does adults. The sound of crying babies may not be pleasant but we have to accept it. They are not crying just to irritate us. Leave them and their poor mothers alone.
Hey old man, they're called headphones.
