You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.
Punching a baby in the face.
That’s like spitting on a nun, or setting a puppy dog’s tail on fire.
It’s incomprehensible.
You don’t punch a baby in the face. That’s freaking un-American.
The Taliban would blow up their own grandma, but even they wouldn’t slap a baby.
Slap a baby? It happened this week on an airliner.
What doesn’t happen on an airliner now a days?
Remember when it was coffee tea or me? Remember when it was the mile high club? Remember when they served dinner?
Now it’s saw dust covered wafers. Now it’s shoe bombs. Now it’s drunk passengers trying to open the escape chute at 36,000 feet.
That doesn’t even account for your flight attendant having a nervous break down and screaming about End of Days on the cabin intercom.
While all this is horrifying, I think I am most shocked by this latest outburst of inhumanity.
Slapping a baby in the face. Will Ferrell did it in a movie and it was funny. It’s funny because it could never happen in real life.
Or could it?
abc news called it air rage.
According to Jessica Bennett, her 19 month old child was sitting on her lap.
It was a flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta.
“He came at him like that,” she tells the gathered media.
The other passenger is described as a 60 year Idaho drunk who told the baby to shut up and called him the N word.
“What did you just say?” the mother asked.
“He was so drunk he fell on my face,” she said. “He was trying to talk into my ear.”
Then the man slapped the little boy she says.
“His eye was swollen and bleeding,” she says.
According to abc : air rage is up 30 percent.
But hitting a baby? Only crazy people hit babies. People who wear aluminium foil to keep their heads from boiling over hit babies. People who see bible verses in the want ads hit babies.
“I hope he is ashamed,” the child’s father says.
The Idaho man will reportedly plead not guilty. 2 sides to every story, don’t you know.
Maybe he will say he was defending himself against the 18 pound maniac.
He shouldn’t plead guilty. He is so much more than guilty. He is repugnant, he is stupid, he is an intolerant gastric fart in the blowing winds of ignorance.
You know what would be cool. If this guy was buried up to his chin in the desert sand while scorpions pick apart the soft tissue of his face.
Hit a baby?
That is crazy.
