There are some stories that help us regain our faith in humanity, and then there are others that make us lose it all over again as we see the very worst of what people are capable of. Unfortunately, this is an example of the latter.
The pair decided to visit the memorial of a young cancer victim and desecrate it in the worst way possible.
The men laughed and joked as one of them recorded the whole scene while the other urinated all over the child’s memorial in a New Jersey park. It’s one of the most disrespectful acts anyone could imagine, and the footage has already shocked countless viewers.
Somehow, the men in question thought it would be funny to post the video on their social media channels, sharing it with their friends and family members, and it didn’t take long for the awful footage to start spreading around.
The memorial in question had been created to honor the memory of Christian Clopp, a 9-year-old boy who tragically passed away from brain cancer back in 2012.
The two New Jersey men were very quickly identified to the authorities as Bryan Bellace of Egg Harbor and Daniel Flippen of Hammonton. Flippen was behind the camera while Bellace desecrated the memorial.
Bellace has been charged with lewdness and criminal mischief for his disgusting act and Flippen received a citation, but the pair also have to face up to the fact that now millions of people all over the world have seen what they did and are utterly shocked and appalled by their behavior.
The latest news on the story is that Bellace has actually met up with Christian’s father and apologized for his acts, so at least he recognized that he did something terrible and has owned up to it.
Both men have used beer as their excuse, but many have argued in return that no amount of alcohol in one’s system should ever justify doing something so degrading, especially to the memorial of a young child.
Fortunately, there is another positive aspect to this story that can help us feel a little better about it; in the wake of the news, many people from the local area actually volunteered to clean up the memorial and pay their respects to Christian.
It’s inspiring to know that even when a couple of people do something terrible, plenty of good people are willing to give up their own time to make things better and show off the brighter side of humanity.
In fact, a ‘Bubble Brigade’ was even organized in the area in order to honor Christian and spread some joy in the wake of the event.
A group of local people, armed with nothing but bubbles, marched through the park blowing bubbles and dedicating the day to Christian, his family, and all other children with cancer, fighting hard against the disease each and every day.
