50 CENT WAS AT A CINCINNATI AIRPORT WHEN HE APPROACHED A
CUSTODIAL WORKER HE BELIEVED WAS HIGH ON DRUGS.
LITTLE DID HE KNOW THAT THIS 19-YEAR-OLD
WAS ACTUALLY AUTISTIC, HAD A HEARING IMPAIRMENT, AND ALSO
SUFFERED FROM SEVERE SOCIAL ANXIETY.
THE VIDEO YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE WAS POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
OF COURSE, IT LED TO A LOT OF HEATED REACTIONS.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> THE NEW GENERATION IS CRAZY.
THEY ARE CRAZY.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
LOOK AT HIM, WHAT KIND OF SHIT YOU THINK HE TOOK BEFORE HE
GOT TO WORK TODAY?
HE HIGH AS A MOTHER FUCKER, RIGHT HERE IN THE AIRPORT.
PUPILS DILATED, EVERYTHING.
LOOKING LIKE ñ THE NEW GENERATION IS FUCKING CRAZY.
>>WHAT'S INCREDIBLE IS THIS GUY BECAME TREMENDOUSLY FAMOUS OFF
OF RAPPING ABOUT GANG BEHAVIOR, DRUGS, HOES AND BITCHES.
HE IS GOING AFTER THIS KID WHO APPEARS TO BE HIGH AT WORK.
HERE IS THE REALITY, FIRST OF ALL, OF COURSE THE FACT THAT HE
IS AUTISTIC MAKES THE STORY EVEN WORSE.
LET'S SAY HE WAS NOT.
SO, YOU'RE GOING TO GO AFTER SOMEONE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
ASK QUESTIONS, YOU ARE GOING TO PUT THEM ON CAMERA AND ACCUSE
HIM OF DOING DRUGS?
WHO ARE YOU TO MAKE THAT JUDGMENT CALL?
WHO ARE YOU TO PUT SOMEONE ON BLAST LIKE THAT?
THEN YOU FIND THAT THE KID IS AUTISTIC,
ñ IT MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH.
IT LITERALLY MADE ME CRY THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED IT.
YOU THINK ABOUT THE SEVERE SOCIAL ANXIETY HE HAS AND THE
TORMENT HE WENT THROUGH BECAUSE HE IS AUTISTIC.
YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT HIS FAMILY GOES THROUGH WATCHING A VIDEO
LIKE THAT.
IT'S HIDEOUS IN SO MANY WAYS.
>>BEING BULLIED BY A FUCKING CELEBRITY WALKING AROUND AND
PUTTING A CAMERA IN HIS FACE.
YOU WOULDN'T EVEN LIKE THAT IN YOUR NORMAL LIFE.
THEN TO TOP IT OFF, HE HAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
FOLLOWERS?
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I HAVE WORKED WITH KIDS WITH AUTISM.
I STARTED A PROGRAM WITH MY FRAT BROTHERS IN NEW JERSEY.
IT WAS A MENTORSHIP PROGRAM, AND I GOT TO EXPERIENCE WORKING
WITH THESE KIDS HANDS-ON.
THE AMOUNT OF DIFFICULTY THAT THIS 19-YEAR-OLD HAD TO
OVERCOME TO BE ABLE TO WORK A NORMAL JOB WHERE HE DOESN'T
HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BE SUPERVISED BY OTHER PEOPLE IS TREMENDOUS.
THEN YOU ARE GOING TO GO PUT THEM ON BLAST LIKE THAT?
WITHOUT GIVING ANY THOUGHT TO THIS PERSON'S LIFE ñ
>>IT'S THE WAY HE FORMATTED THE VIDEO.
CALLING THEM CRAZY FIRST OF ALL.
WHAT IS CRAZY ABOUT A 9-TO-5 JOB?
WHAT IS CRAZY ABOUT SOMEONE OVERCOMING ADVERSITY TO PUT
HIMSELF OUT THERE?
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS THAT WOULD NOT WANT
TO GO AND EXPERIENCE AND TRY AND HELP THEMSELVES BECOME MORE
ADAPTED TO SOCIETY.
THEN YOU HAVE THIS IMBECILE WHO WAS GOING OUT HERE WITH A
CAMERA.
ALL OF THIS MEDIA AROUND HOW MUCH OF A DOUCHE BAG
50 CENT IS IS THOROUGHLY DESERVED.
THE KID HANDLED HIMSELF SO WELL THAT HE NEVER EVEN SAID
ANYTHING.
HE COULD HAVE RETALIATED.
HE JUST GETS ON WITH HIS JOB.
I WAS IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU.
I WAS SO HEATED.
IT'S NO SURPRISE.
50 CENT IS AN IMBECILE WHO MADE THE WRONG DECISION THROUGHOUT
HIS LIFE.
IT WAS JUST REPORTED RECENTLY THAT HE WAS BROKE.
IT'S LAUGHABLE BECAUSE HE IS JUDGING SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS
TRYING TO BETTER THEMSELVES.
HE'S SOMEONE ñ
>> 50 CENT'S SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT NECESSARILY ñ IT REALLY DOES A
GOOD JOB WITH SHOWCASING HOW STUPID HE IS SOMETIMES.
HE FUCKING POSTED A PHOTO OF HIMSELF ACTING LIKE HE WAS
TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH A STACK OF BILLS.
IT'S LAUGHABLE BECAUSE HE HAD TO GO BACK AND SAY THAT WAS NOT
REAL MONEY.
>>AFTER THIS WHOLE DEBACLE WITH THE VIDEO HE RECENTLY POSTED,
OF COURSE PEOPLE CALLED HIM OUT FOR ATTACKING SOMEONE THAT WAS
AUTISTIC.
HE TOOK THE VIDEO DOWN.
SO FAR I HAVE NOT READ OF ANY APOLOGY.
HE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD.
BUT HE HAS A HISTORY OF ATTACKING PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES.
IT IS DISGUSTING.
FIRST OF ALL, A COMMENT FROM ANDREW FARRELL'S FATHER,
THE CUSTODIAL WORKER THAT WAS ATTACKED
IN THE VIDEO.
BUT IN THE PAST,
50 CENT HAS HAD TO DELETE TWEETS, OR DELETE POSTS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE HE ATTACKS PEOPLE THAT HAVE DISABILITIES.
VERY CLASSY.
ANOTHER POST SAID ñ
>>JESUS CHRIST, NICE.
>>CLASSIC GENTLEMEN, 50 CENT.
EITHER WAY, THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS COMING OUT CURRENTLY
CLAIMING THAT THE FAMILY MIGHT SUE 50 CENT FOR $1 MILLION.
I HAVE HEARD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REPORTS SAYING 1
MILLION, OTHERS SAYING A SIMPLE APOLOGY
WOULD SUFFICE.
>>ITS DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.
OVERALL, IT IS A SNAP JUDGMENT WHICH WE TALK ABOUT A LOT ON
THE SHOW AND IN THE NEWS AND MEDIA.
SOMEONE WHO WAS IN THE SPOTLIGHT, HAS A RESPONSIBILITY.
HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HIS RESPONSE ABILITY.
IT'S SOMETHING YOU SEE A LOT WITH CELEBRITIES.
THEY ACT ON INSTINCT, AND THEY DON'T REALIZE THE REPERCUSSIONS.
I JUST HOPE THAT THIS KID GROWS FROM THIS, AND TAKES THE
STRENGTH THAT HE SHOWED.
I HOPE THAT HE TAKES THE POSITIVES FROM IT, AND 50
CENT LEARNS ANOTHER HARSH LESSON.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN.
