I learned early on the importance of respecting people for who they are, despite differences. I think most people can agree that it is a basic moral lesson. Regretfully, there are still those who do not understand the value of basic acceptance and kindness.
A recent horrific event at Disney World brought to light the abhorrent depths of some people’s conduct. A brawl broke out at Belle Vue Lounge, a bar within the Boardwalk Inn, on January 25, leading to the arrest of Brent George, a 61-year-old man. Brent claimed to have been attacked by a nearby family he had been drinking with when police came. He had cuts and bruises on his face.
But more research told a different story. According to the family, a drunken Brent had come up to their table and started making fun of their sister, who has Down syndrome, by mimicking her sporadic grunts. Brent shoved the girl’s mother as she defended her daughter. A family member named Wesley Golberg attempted to step in, but Brent slapped him instead. Wesley and Brent got into a physical fight as a result, which ended when a bystander came to Wesley’s aid and took Brent out of the area.
The police opted to take into account all sides of the argument before taking Brent into custody and accusing him of four first-degree violence crimes. His plea to the charges was not guilty.
The internet was incensed at Brent’s actions as word of the incident proliferated online. Many more showed their support for the family by denouncing the attack on Wesley and the girl’s mother as well as the belittling of someone with a disability. It’s evident that a lot of people thought Brent’s actions were wrong and should have resulted in consequences.
This event should serve as a reminder of how important it is to show compassion and kindness to other people. In addition to being upsetting, making fun of and belittling someone due to their differences can also escalate into violent confrontations. Let’s work to make the world a more caring and welcoming place where everyone is respected.

As the 2024 election looms closer, former President Donald Trump appears to have soIidified his position as the frontrunner on the Republican side of the contest.
Despite ongoing efforts from the left, Trump’s popularity and poll numbers have surged, especially among minorities, posing a significant challenge for Democrats.
Incumbent President Joe Biden faces competition from third-party candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., and there are widespread rumors about potential repIacements for Biden on the Democratic ticket. Concerns about Biden’s age and declining mental state persist, coupled with a lack of strong contenders within the Democratic Party.
Speculation has swirled around California Governor Gavin Newsom and Vice President Kamala Harris as potential candidates, although both are perceived as underperforming. Unless an unexpected bid emerges from figures like Michelle Obama, the Democratic Party faces limited options.
This sets the stage for a probable showdown between Biden and Trump in 2024. Anticipating a worst-case scenario for Democrats, with Trump securing another term, some Hollywood celebrities have already begun discussing the possibiIity of leaving the country.
Notably, in 2016, several Hollywood liberals vowed to leave the country if Trump won, but none followed through. Nevertheless, similar threats have resurfaced for the 2024 election.
Barbara Streisand recently reiterated her intention to leave the country if Trump were to win again. During an interview promoting her autobiography, Streisand stated, ‘I will move. I can’t live in this country if he became president.’ However, whether such promises will materiaIize remains to be seen.”
