that video makes me sick to my stomach to watch. i sincerely hope that the people in that video realize they look like cavemen and nothing like actual thinking, feeling, HUMAN beings. people just dont know how to deal with their intense emotional responses anymore. i didnt, and i attended therapy weekly for over a year. i now understand that no one but myself is responsible for my anger. i dont care what anyone else thinks...you are responsible for your own anger. if you're angry, its YOUR fault. we are completely capable of controlling our emotional responses and thinking and acting in a mature, responsible, self disciplining manner. the problem is that people love to play the blame game. and i mean, i know that people are seriously mad at the government right now...but thats NO reason to take it out on a fellow citizen. people are so angry that they dont know where to place the anger. they're placing it on each other instead of government.
i feel that the man with parkinsons was incredibly brave to put himself out there like that. it takes a lot of guts to sit there and take that crap from those people.
the man throwing money, and all the others mocking the parkinsons patient, are the absolute lowest of the low. and i very much doubt that he's sorry for his actions, he's just sorry that he was caught. i hope that one day karma knocks on their doors to give them a real good beating...they CLEARLY need it.

Returning lack of compassion for lack of compassion is a terrible thing. I hope this thread, in general, dies a quick death.

Personally, I do not understand why people are upset about the video. The man did not attack the "victim". He dropped one bill on his lap, then tossed one more at him, while exercising his right of free speech.

i find it very unfortunate that you do not see the wrong in that video. that man had people yelling and screaming in his face.

Your apologist attitude and making excuses for a person that mocks and ridicules a crippled person is quite revealing. Genuine feelings or not, it was trailer trash behavior.
I pray it never happens to one of your loved ones.

I was not apologizing for anyone. I was simply observing the behavior in the video and expressed what I believed to be behind their apparent anger. I try my best not to mock or ridicule anyone, as I know the taste of that. That also includes not doing the same to the instigator. Impartiality.
A Republican congressman's office window was shot out last Monday because he opposed the HCB.
"A preliminary investigation shows that a bullet was fired into the air and struck the window in a downward direction, landing on the floor about a foot from the window," the Richmond police department said in a statement. "The round struck with enough force to break the windowpane but did not penetrate the window blinds."
