A violent brawl that was captured on video broke out Saturday among family members at Disneyland as horrified parkgoers ushered children past the melee and bystanders tried to separate the fighters.

Police responded to the park after a verbal confrontation between family members visiting Mickey’s Toontown escalated to a physical fight, Anaheim police Sgt. Daron Wyatt said.

Wyatt said the family involved in the melee was “uncooperative” with authorities. There was no video available at the time, so police did not make any arrests. Video of the brawl has since surfaced on social media.

“Now that we have the video, detectives will be following up to see if any criminal charges can be filed,” Wyatt said.

The video, posted on YouTube on Sunday, begins with an argument between a man and a woman pushing a stroller with two young girls in front of Goofy’s Playhouse. The man, who is wearing a red shirt, takes the first swing at the woman after she spits in his face, the video shows. (video at site)

Conflating correlation and causation is the media’s meat.

Don’t separate the kids or provide divided areas resembling cages that would be inhuman.
