Unbelievable that this could go on for so long, and in front of kids.

Disney's newest attraction:

Not a brawl........Two guys, with two supporting women. No knives, no mace spray, no guns. No body was put on the ground, nobody was knocked out, no body was cut. In other words, a ghetto dust up. Happens every week end, someplace.

I’m shocked that there was even enough space for a free for all brawl. Disneyland is often so crowded that it is shoulder to shoulder packed with throngs of people. You get a wide range of folks at California amusement parks.

We were at Knotts Berry Farm recently which has lower admission prices and often attracts some really sketchy people more so than Disneyland. You’ll see as many gangland tattoos there as in the California prison system. Tats running up from the neck onto shaved heads and everywhere else.

There were a couple of them put on the ground at various times in the video.

Weird that all the guards came out at once, like they were all at lunch in some break room together. Extra weird that one of them, at 3:18, seems to be zipping up his pants.

Definitely not the Disneyland of my childhood and youth (1960's) in SO many ways! I am so glad to know that Walt never saw what his dream has turned into today.

I have said this before in several posts, but every time I visit there now (about once a decade since the 70's), the percentage of dregs of society (compared to working class and above) seemed to have quadrupled from the last time I went. The last time I visited was in 2009, and I don't think I will ever return.

P.S. I have never been to Disney World, and I just wonder how that compares to Disneyland.

This occurs at all amusement parks, gatherings, shopping malls and anywhere crowds congeragate. ESPECIALLY in Summer, where hot temps bring even more people and the heat causes a spike in tempers.

I worked in shopping malls for years, an fight like the one in this video was a normal Saturday afternoon.

And what was Disneyland's response?

According to the following link, "We do not condone this kind of violence."

It seems apparent to me that Disneyland no longer cares who they hire for both their PR department and their security force.

I am truly sorry that you lived in such a violent area. It certainly is not "normal" behavior in any of the many different places I have lived -- during hot summers or any other time.

If such behavior ever becomes commonplace in the U.S., then that will be a sad day indeed -- and I don't think anyone should get to the point where it is just accepted and shrugged off.

I completely agree with you. Being a relative newcomer to this part of the planet, I am always surprised at the amount of crime and outright stupidity that has apparently become the norm here.

I wonder what took security so long. Doesn't look good for Disney.
