  “I love when humans come together and do ish like this,” said a Twitter user by the name Melissa.

Another user applauded the person who first held the foundation for being sharp and courageous enough.

“One guy. They would have stood and watched if one guy hadn’t thought fast enough.”

“As the proud son of a former carnival owner…don’t ride carny rides. They don’t exactly piss test the ride jocks, and my dad used to hire anyone who got in the van down by the homeless shelter,” wrote another user.
