The man was sitting there holding a sign using his own parkinsons. Sorry he shouldnt get a pass when hes trying to use his own medical condition to promote what he wants. So others arent allowed to speak out against what the man with Parkinsons wants because he has Parkinson.

You all seem to think he gets a pass and no one can disagree with him because he has Parkinsons.

I have nothing to say to you.
Mean world? So people arent allowed to not agree with him or question him because he has Parkinsons?

I never said I approved of their approach or them throwing money at him.

Freedie Roach has Parkinson and yet he talks trash about people. Should no one be allowed to talk trash about him even though hes talking trash about people? Come on

There is a way to have a civil discussion with someone you don't agree with.

These people abused this man and it was disgusting.

I don't know why you defend them. They threw money at a disabled man. No one deserves to be treated the way they treated that man, it's disgusting behavior.

I didn't see anyone "questioning" him, or even disagreeing, I saw people yelling and making fun of him.

My question to you is; does this man with Parkinsons, and every other handicapped person, need to hold a full time job in order to have access to medical insurance?

Wow just wow. How anyone can even come close to excusing this behavior. If this was the other way around and a teabagger was sitting in a wheel chair and a support of the bill was standing over them yelling in their face...ah never mind. Truely pathetic

Incredibly sad that anyone would defend this behavior simply because they're on their "Side" of the argument. I hope Karma gets that guy throwing money in that poor mans face.

Looked like a set up to me. Nothing explained about who he was, why he was there, etc. etc. etc. Let someone interview him to see if he really has the disease and what his story is.
