...and the REAL reason he was fired?

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

The guy is a jerk, to be sure....but why was he apparently served alcohol AFTER it was clear he was drunk? Why does it take TWO "journalists" to do this story at CNN?

Why is Kat Williams still employed by ANYONE, if acting like a boar is the standard?

Also, why is this--a guy acting like a jackass on a plane--national news?

Because it fans the flames of division which is a support beam in 0’s house...

I think you’ve keyed in on something that has become a trend over the past twenty years. News networks now take routine stories that ought to make the front page of Green Bay, WI, but really not a national story.

The simple story here is some drunk guy on an airplane....doing stupid things, and will likely get four weeks in some local county jail with a fine.

If you’d turn off all the national networks for a month....they’d get the message and start to think over how they can possibly make a profit with no viewers.

MSM:

White man using a racial slur -— broadcast
White girl abducted -— broadcast

Black man using a racial slur -— ignore
Black girl abducted -— ignore

“Also, why is this—a guy acting like a jackass on a plane—national news?”
Because the incident was on a plane and he deserves it...

This ahole is alive only because he didn't slap one of my boys.

Actor Alec Baldwin allegedly called a black Post photographer a racial epithet, a “crackhead’’ and a “drug dealer’’ during a confrontation on an East Village street yesterday morning, prompting police to intervene. He then called G.N. Miller — a decorated retired detective with the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau and a staff photographer for The Post — a “coon, a drug dealer,’’ Miller’s police statement said.

I've been on more than a few 10 to 15 hour long flights that seemed to me to be filled with screeching three year olds.Although I was tempted to stuff a sock in one or two mouths I never did.But then,I haven't consumed a drop of ethanol since 1987.

Why is Kat Williams still employed by ANYONE, if acting like a boar is the standard?

Because he's
a. a "comedian", and
b. a member of a "protected" class

[Chickensoup]

I am not sure why the unpleasant, minor and tacky has become national news.

Unless it is to fan division of the people.

And to make people fearful.

Post-9/11, anyone acting like a jackass on a plane is national news. It's sort of man-bites-dog - while it's been decades since anyone has had to dress up to get on a plane, the average air passenger is a cut above, and you don't get very many incidents. Thus, any incident is news. And to have a corporate executive smack somebody's else baby on a plane - that's major league newsworthy. The racial angle is just a bonus.

It’s news because all of America feels that they have been slapped jobless

A guy hits a baby on a plane and anyone is surprised it’s national news. The name-calling is just window dressing to make it seem worse, but make no mistake, when a grown man strikes a child on an airline it is big news.

The man is a clear piece of sh&t, and deserves what he gets, yet some of you are trying to turn this into an example of political correctness. Bet if it was your kid you’d react differently.

Stop making excuses for this piece of garbage. He has past issues of assault and he slap a infant. Screw him.

Why are you ignoring the fact that this guy slapped a toddler? He's charged with assault. Try saying something polite and slapping a toddler and see if you get a better deal.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

If true, this was handled properly. The guy lost his job and probably is going to get sued. And if someone getting drunk and urinating in the aisle on a plane is news, then I don’t see any reason why this shouldn’t be news.
