| 0:00.0 | An entitled old jerk yelled at my sister, who is dying from cancer, that she needs to stop faking it and get out of her wheelchair. |
| 0:06.8 | And I'm honestly still shaken up by this incident, and at this point, I don't know what to do. |
| 0:11.1 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:12.0 | So I have a sister who was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, and it has been a very long road. |
| 0:17.3 | She received a transplant and has GVHD. |
| 0:20.1 | It's been incredibly difficult to watch her get frail and lose mobility. She can a transplant and has GVHD. It's been incredibly difficult to watch her get |
| 0:22.2 | frail and lose mobility. She can't work and spends the majority of her time at the hospital getting |
| 0:27.0 | treatments. Well, she called me to share that her favorite group from Europe was having a rare |
| 0:31.2 | concert in the state that I live in and that I should go. So I flew her out and I invited our other |
| 0:36.4 | sister to join us. She called to tell me a few |

| 1:17.0 | side of the hallway, and I grabbed two small chairs for us. There are two entrances about 30 feet |
| 1:21.8 | apart from each other, and it takes less than a minute to exit the theater and walk around to the |
| 1:26.0 | other entrance. Well, we were talking |
| 1:27.9 | when some old entitled jerk started yelling at me to move out of his way. He was ramming his |
| 1:32.7 | walker into my folding chair repeatedly. I told him we can't move because she's in a wheelchair, |
