Video: Disneyland Patron Gets Belligerent
()
A very drunk-looking dude was caught on camera getting belligerent with Disneyland workers, other patrons— or anyone who came near him really.
The video starts with two bellhops from the Tower of Terror holding the man back. Another worker walks up and the man takes a few swings until the worker pepper-sprays him in the face. It's not clear what was going on beforehand, but the heckling bystanders' comments make it sound like he was trying to pick a fight earlier, "He didn't wind up being so tough anymore, huh?"
After some more pepper-spraying, heckling and fighting, some patrons pin him down and the man promises not to swing any more.
And don't worry, there was someone on hand to remind this man repeatedly that "THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE."

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced.
