Sure, let disabled kids steal your money, rob banks or your home because we have to be tolerant. There must be a limit to tolerance, otherwise the whole country will fall into chaos.
This kid is going to be beaten a lot in the future. It will start with food but later this won't be enough and no one will tolerate it for stealing.
Nice reductio ad absurdum. You do understand that what you watched was drama, acting, right? And that is why you didn't see him corrected, so that they could provoke a reaction for show.
If even acting, what did the kid do that was so horrible? Take a couple of fries, make some noise. If there, I would have considered this entertainment. Meal and a show.
If you don't take the disabled out into the world how will they ever learn? You can't teach this in a school. A school provides the same structured stable environment (building, people, routine, ..........) every day with only slight modifications. In the world they learn to cope with the new and different and unexpected.
Where limited tolerance needs to be applied is when "normal" people who know how they should behave but don't. Start there and give the disabled a break. I think that you can get over it and recover a lot faster and better than the disabled can.
If I remember correct, aren't you outside the social norm. Should I be intolerant of you? Should your community?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
