An Idaho man accused of uttering a racial slur and slapping a crying 19-month-old boy on a Delta Air Lines flight is now out of a job.
Joe Rickey Hundley of Hayden, Idaho, was charged with assaulting a minor in the February 8 incident. His company, which initially suspended him, said Sunday that Hundley no longer has his job.
"Reports of the recent behavior of one of our business unit executives while on personal travel are offensive and disturbing," said a statement from AGC Aerospace & Defense. "We have taken this matter very seriously and worked diligently to examine it since learning of the matter on Friday afternoon.
"As of Sunday, the executive is no longer employed with the company."
AGC Aerospace & Defense supplies technology and other services to the military and businesses.

Why is this story being made into headline news by the leftist propaganda machine, (AKA the MSM)?
I believe it (and others like it) are being "promoted" to the national scene because it highlights and enforces a key assumptive talking point (In this case: whites abuse blacks) in order to invoke a desired conditioned response/reaction (disgust) and continue the conditioning that the powers that be desire in the population.
The same is true for those ideas that they DON'T want propagated (Black racist violence against whites and others is prevalent, extremely violent, random, and increasing in frequency...).
In this way, the majority (whites) are being conditioned and controlled in the manner desired (passive guilt and subservience). At the same time, those actions NOT highlighted as bad (Black violence, either against blacks or whites) does not get admonished and the perception is that there are no consequences when perpetrated.
This trend is building a volcano of resentment, anger, and distrust on both sides, and is a part of the "Divide and Conquer" strategy being implemented by this administration (and his handlers) to weaken this country as a whole and make it a 3rd world hellhole...
Don't think for a minute this hasn't been long in the works either. The problem is waking everyone up about it. Some are but too many are not, and those may not wake up until the day the butchers blade falls...
Nope
My husband is in the military and I had to do a total of 6 trans-Atlantic flights. All of them were unavoidable.
Flight 1: 3 month old
Flight 2: 9 month old (with my husband)
Flight 3: 9 month old (with my husband)
Flight 4: 5 month old, two year old
Flight 5: 6 month old, two year old
Flight 6: 17 month old, three year old
I had my husband there to help for two of the flights, the rest, I did on my own. Flights 4 and 5 were the worst. We were going back to the states to get tubes in my daughter’s ears, so you can imagine what the altitude did to my girl.
I did my very best, but there’s only so much you can do. I remember one particular woman (another passenger), who volunteered to take my son so I could take care of my screaming two year old. She was middle aged and lovely and took care of him for most of the flight. Saved ALL our bacon.
I firmly believe that there should be an area reserved for the families with small children. It would be less stressful for the everyone, including the parents. Heck, I’d pay extra if they had a small play area for kids.
The kids are grown now and my husband and I have officially reached the ‘get off my lawn!’ stage, but I never get upset with the children or the parents on these flights. Sometimes flying is unavoidable and little ones do suffer. 90% of the time, the parents are desperately trying to deal with the problem, but they have few options.
On flights that aren’t fully booked, I have suggested that either myself and my children be moved away or that irritated passengers are moved from us. Most of the time, staff does their best to make this happen.
It’s just a no-win situation for anyone.
Interesting comment. So, if this were in public, you'd kill the guy on the spot just for slapping a child? You don't think a proper trial and imprisonment might be in order? Just curious...
And, you responded "Nope."
Can't respond in detail because it breaks one of the main rules I have lived by for many years since learning it here on Free Republic. I make every effort to stay away from situations where I might be in the middle of just such an incident. Instead of thinking logically based on a proper value system, huge numbers of people are simply reacting emotionally and lots of killing is taking place (California, Las Vegas, Chicago, etc.). We are going to lose our form of government very soon because people who think and act like that can not be governed my a democracy.
There’s elegance in simplicity.
But since you wanted a complex answer:
Our current system offers little to no justice for crimes against children. Where such a crime would involve my child I have made the conscious decision to enact my own justice and take my chances with a court.
It’s not about a lack of self-control. Quite the opposite.
As you would have it. I understand your explanation.
