He belongs in the clink. Maybe he'll discover the AA meetings they have there. It's clear that mean old white guy should never drink alcohol again for the rest of his life.

5. That poor kid

I weep whenever I think about little kids' first encounter with racism - to go from innocence to suddenly having to grasp the whole fucked up thing and why you're a target of some asshole's hate.

Dammit. I hope that guy learns a lesson. I wish there was some kind of therapy that instilled empathy in people.

I am sure that slapping that baby made him shut right up
I don't understand how people can be so mean to anyone because their skin is a different color !! How evil can you be.

8. Hope he loses his job.

Another article claims he works for an airlines parts manufacturer. I bet it's a damn fine job that lets him fly all over the country for free or nearly free.

There is a good side to this story...did you see the pic of that little boy?
