Blind Man kicked out of Gym for starring.

Had to check to make sure this isn't the Onion for a minute. He even had his cane on him, and that wasn't enough to convince people that he is blind. Think this is a classic case of someone not wanting to admit that they were in the wrong and made a snap decision.

Clever word play may win debates, but it doesn't make it true.
Understanding and explaining things, is not the same as justifying them, if in doubt… please re-read this statement.

Outrage Jockeys should be kicked off YouTube for misspelling staring.

It’s not far off the Onion - manufactured outrage.
He’s blind, he’s not stupid, and some people will fall for it, believing this nonsense 🙄

Not sure it is outrage, more comedy of a situation that wouldn't be out of place in an Onion headline.
I confess to being a bad speller, so can over look that.

Sounds like something from a Richard Pryor movie.
