Man Slaps 19-month old on Delta Flight and Calls Him The N-Word

Joe Rickey Hundley, AGC Aerospace & Defense ex-worker, turns himself in after Delta flight debacle
Posted: 02/20/2013

By: CNN Staff
An Idaho man accused of uttering a racial slur and slapping a crying 19-month-old boy on a Delta Air Lines flight turned himself in to authorities Tuesday.

Joe Rickey Hundley of Hayden, Idaho, surrendered in that state, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta. He was charged with assaulting a minor, stemming from a February 8 incident aboard the Delta flight to Atlanta.

Hundley was released on bail.

His attorney, Marcia Shein, has said her client is being unfairly portrayed.

"This has escalated into a racist issue and I want to be clear he is not a racist," Shein said.

She also said that Hundley is dealing with unspecified issues.

According to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta last week, the boy's mother, Jessica Bennett, 33, of Minnesota and her son were seated in Row 28, Seat B on Delta Flight 721 that originated in Minneapolis.

She spent part of the flight in the rear of the plane to get away from Hundley, who she said smelled like alcohol and was slurring his speech, according to John Thompson, the attorney for the child's family.

As the plane began its descent into Atlanta, the boy began to cry because of the altitude change and his mother tried to soothe him.

Hundley, who was seated next to the mother and son, allegedly told her to "shut that (N-word) baby up."

Hundley then turned around and slapped the child in the face with an open hand, which caused him to scream even louder, an FBI affidavit said.

The boy suffered a scratch below his right eye.

Other passengers on the plane assisted Bennett, and one of them heard the slur and witnessed the alleged assault, the affidavit said.

Shein said that even if her client did use the slur, it does not make him a racist.

CNN's MaryLynn Ryan, Ric Ward and Michael Martinez contributed to this report.

This is how ****ed up we are....

The guy slapped a baby and we're really concerned about what he said when he did.

I don't want to be on this planet anymore.

Welcome to a week ago...

So they should just omit the n-word part of the story???

[Nightfyre]

So wait, she left the 19 month old alone so she could get away from this guy during the flight? Obviously, his behavior is unacceptable and he should be charged. But damned if that isn't some pretty terrible parenting.

I don't think it ever said that. It just said she sat in the rear. I'm sure she took her kid with her.

I would hope so.

Oh, so black people have to sit at the BACK of the plane?

Rosa is rolling over in her grave.

Pretty sure she took the baby with her or had someone else holding him. Way to try to shift blame onto the mother though.

[BlackHelicopters]

No excuse for ever hitting someone else's kid.

The mother was white. Baby was adopted...I can't tell if you're projecting anger in this post or not...

At what point did I shift the blame? You can't hit a baby under any circumstances.

[loochy]

Actually I was trolling

Yeah, you're just saying the mother was a terrible parent.

[Chief_For_Life58]

"shut that (N-word) baby up."

hahaha

the whole article is framed around it. It's not what's important.

[gblowfish]

When the lawyer says "my client is not a racist" that means "he's a racist."

Oh just shut the **** up.

It is absolutely part of the story and a major one.

Here:

Not all of us racists hit babies! Don't lump us together!

There. Fixed it for you. :rolleyes:

Isn't the crying baby situation #9 on the list of 1,001 Excellent Uses for Duct Tape?

Reads like they treat the slur and slap hand-in-hand. The only person framing it into a (non)racial issue is the defendant's attorney.

Please don't every do that again. I don't mind if its funny, that's not funny. If you want to shit talk me, cool. That's part of the membership, but making it look like I posted that is not cool.

Yeah. I guess you're right. Ultimately, I am floored that someone would do that.

[Bowser]

In other recent news, I hear that Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria has been assassinated. Could lead to trouble in Europe.

[Deberg_1990]

If your not a racist, why would you ever say something like "shut that n-word baby up" ?

[Chief_For_Life58]

Did this really happen? I don't know how anybody can look at any piece of the story and not think this guy is an absolute monster.

Oh and one year max for prison? Are you fucking kidding me? This isn't simple assault. This is child abuse.

[saphojunkie]

I touch penises all day long.

Jeez, dude.

Broncos have the worst fan base in the entire nfl and we all like to touch penis.

Eat a bullet then. Quit being a pussy.

I imagine all of Joe Rickey Hundley's many friends are stunned right now.

you're missing his point

guess which part the media is going to talk about more....the slap or the racial slur.

[RyFo18]

I just searched for the guys name in Google News, and none of the titles even mention that he said the N-word.

[saphojunkie]

Then the guy should slap a cracker baby. Everyone who is complaining that race is a part of this story or chalks it up as media sensationalism is, in my not so humble opinion, a racist. Either closet, or otherwise.

I guess vailpass is alive and well.

[stonedstooge]

Most people don't call a 19 month old a baby but a little shit at that age

Damned straight, brother.

So why the Patrick Ewing avatar?

Just decked?



Man, I might have psychopathic tendencies.

[Johnny Vegas]

gotta love Idahoans. Nothing but racists and dry counties over there. He was anxious to get to his clan meeting.

I'm shocked, guess there is a first time for everything

They were great. Lil licorish things. Im sure interwebs would have the info. So non PC im ashamed. They were a penny candy

[loochy]

of all the things to troll over, race trolling is among the best and most productive

[Lumpy]

I probably would have punched him in the dick, too. For fun. :D

[WV]

Yeah the whole plane would've found out quickly if there was an air marshall on that flight because I would have went pyscho on that old bastard.

Hopefully because the people who called it that are dying.

Read on one site they were morphed into Nibs and they still make them.

When the lawyer says "my client is not a racist" that means "he's a racist."

What's really really cool about America right now is that there are no racists left. There are all gone, racism, finished.

Just ask the racists they will be happy to tell you.
