I would have wanted to give each of them a physical talking to, I just would hope that I could restrain myself, I think I would have to have forcibly removed them from the store!!
Its a very sad world where this abuse is still actually tolerated!!

Mamyalynne, the people are being put in a situation that some would find stressfull and without their prior consent. Did the film maker have an assessment of the mental health of the unwitting participants, I doubt it. This kind of 'experiment' smacks of arrogant voyeurism and is unjustifiable. Near our village there is a shelter/ accommodation project for mentally disabled people, they often participate in local events, I have never heard anybody make disparaging remarks about them. Perhaps I am lucky with my neighbours but our village is like a big family something that is lost when communities get too large..
Well......the clip certainly gave the AB virtuoso to dash to the fore and show how caring they are to the unfortunate in our community and also the the "big mouths " of AB to show their command of putting down the dissenters of this scenario.
\\\Typical Sqad response. Sqad you sometimes need to grow a backbone!!\\
\\\Apologies to Sqad, you answered the question I asked!! I just didn't like the answer!\\\
If the above two considered responses from RATTER were an example of tolerance and concern, then I fear for balanced replies.
At times i find ABers truly arrogant.

Having watched a bit more of the video, I see that one of the shoppers points to the abusive teenage actor and makes the "he`s nuts" gesture. Is that OK? As someone pointed out, we don`t know the mental health issues that the abusive 'shopper' may have which could be another reason why people don`t want to get involved.
Jom,I am very very pleased that you (and others) have never witnessed such behaviour and it would be great to think it didn't happen.
I have had a disability all my life that has been progressive and has caused many remarks and stares along the way, my recourse and way of coping has mainly been humour. People are often taken aback by that rather than a vitriolic response,of course when back home behind closed doors it doesn't feel funny any more.
I also had a privileged upbringing in that I had friends with disabilities to mine so quickly learnt we are all the same really, my Grandchildren are on the autistic spectrum and still encounter some difficulties but again humour and a 'nip in the bud' reaction to a problematic situation gets us through.
Setting up such experiments may seem wrong and maybe there is a better way to get the message across but I nonetheless found it very interesting.

What it doesn't say is whether any of the shoppers went to a manager or shop floor assistant afterwards to voice their distaste over what they saw. They could very well have been quite worried that they themselves would be verbally attacked (or worse!) if they intervened at the time.
Like I said, it's easy to be morally outraged and claim you'd say something from the comfort of your chair.
