Trash gonna trash. It's in their nature. Expecting them to do otherwise would be like expecting Prius drivers to accelerate away from traffic lights.

There is no good in highlighting this nonsense.
Actually, not many people care because it was only a local news story and then about a fight at Disney World making it noteworthy. Then you have someone post it on a low traffic webforum with an obvious angle.

If you made the woman in the video doing most of the punching and her family white, this would have had a shot at being made national news.

Yep. Also the participants in this skirmish appear to be from a deep blue urban hellhole if I had to guess, making them almost certainly members of the Democrat base.

Personally, I want to know where this kind of things goes on so I can avoid it.

We were at King's Island last weekend and they would periodically make announcements over the loudspeaker saying people who behave badly will be ejected from the part. I don't know if they actually did it or not. But it was nice and peaceful there.

King's Island has had a reputation for violence for quite some time. At least 20 years ago, it was considered a "local" park for us and we all knew to be on our best behavior.

Having said that, Disney is not immune to the outlandish behavior of it's guests, but, they do, generally handle it much quicker and much better with their security. Guess this time it wasn't quick enough and too many people considered the fight itself as entertainment so spent more time filming it.

I believe these events have always happened. We just didn't hear about them because people weren't regularly recording it to share on social media.

You tube is chock full of these videos.

Why is this happening when years ago it was quite rare to read about this.

Something has changed and I don't know what.
We’re seeing them more because everyone is recording everything now. And generally angrier today.

Years ago mass school killings were rare. Now they are so common that every school has training and drills for them.

Fights on planes are happening more too. Road rage wasn't common awhile back and it happens more as well.

You're not safe on Disney properties anymore. Welcome to America.

Yes and no. True, the fact that everyone has a camera and access to social media means that we hear about these incidents far more than we used to. But it's also true that public decorum has been spiraling downward for quite some time, and the downward trend has rapidly increased in just the past few years. You see it in terms of aggressive driving all around you; of increased litter in public spaces; in hair-trigger tempers. People used to dress up to get on a plane; now they attack flight attendants. It didn't used to be this way.

I have no idea how many brawls have taken place in the Magic Kingdom over the years. But I'd be willing to bet money that the number of such occurrences has been steadily increasing, at a rate greater than the increase in park attendance.
