I'm glad I have memories of flying back in the days when the planes were actually filled with civilized passengers.

Earlier this month, on a flight landing in Minneapolis, a baby is crying on his mothers lap.  The passenger sitting next to the mother and child doesn't like it so he slaps the baby's face.

The gentleman may have had a bad day and a crying baby can be a bit irritating but a civilized society expects an adult to have enough control over his emotions to refrain from hitting kids.  I'm glad to see he's been charged with simple assault.
