When I was a child, I was taught to treat others with the respect they deserved, irrespective of color, creed, or anything else that might set them apart from me.<\/p>\n

Now, I want to believe that the majority of people I share this planet with are given the same basic education in morality. Sadly, however, it seems there are plenty of people still living in the stone age where simple kindness and acceptance are concerned.<\/p>\n

A 61-year-old man was arrested at Disney World earlier this year after a shocking altercation that exposes the truly deplorable depths some people are willing to sink<\/p>\n

As per reports, 61-year-old Brent George was arrested at Disney World on January 25, following a fight that took place at Belle Vue Lounge, a bar inside the Boardwalk Inn.<\/p>\n

Police officers are said to have arrived on scene to find Brent with bruises and wounds on his face. Brent claimed to have been drinking with a nearby family before they \u201cattacked\u201d him.<\/p>\n

Quoted by the Daily Beast, his arrest affidavit read: \u201cHe stated he was having a \u2018good time\u2019 with the individuals and then he was attacked by them.\u201d
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

One of Brent\u2019s companions, Ward Weber, added that Brent had been approached by the family \u201cbecause they were \u2018having fun\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet the investigating officers soon found holes in the pair\u2019s story, and when they spoke to the family they were told an entirely different tale. Wesley Goldberg, a member of the family in question, revealed to police that an intoxicated Brent had approached them and targeted his sister, who has Down Syndrome.<\/p>\n

\u201cWesley stated verbally and in a sworn written statement that Brent came near their table and started to make fun of his handicapped sister by imitating the grunts that she occasionally made,\u201d the affidavit read.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The girl\u2019s mother, Candace Goldberg, stood up for her daughter, only for Brent to shove her. When Wesley Golberg\u2019s wife Maria tried to then intervene, Brent slapped her, leading to Wesley engaging in a physical tussle with the man.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter slapping Maria, her husband Wesley got involved,\u201d the affidavit said. \u201cWesley was punched on the left side of his neck, and proceeded to punch Brent on the side of his head, resulting in the injury Brent sustained.\u201d<\/p>\n

The altercation was reportedly ended when an unnamed bystander bear-hugged Brent and carried him away. With police having weighed both sides of the story, they decided to arrest Brent, take him to the local jail, and charge him with four counts of first-degree battery. The suspect is said to have pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the internet was furious with Brent\u2019s behavior when word of the incident reached the web.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell he deserved it that\u2019s for sure. Good job whoever taught him a lesson,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a father and a husband, it would be awful to have your child mocked and your wife assaulted,\u201d another added. \u201cAs a man with a little spare aggression in the tank, it would be glorious to have someone give you such a gift wrapped reason to unleash on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks like he got what he went after, well deserved,\u201d a third stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you choose to make fun of people you get what happens to u,\u201d said a fourth.<\/p>\n
