I wonder how many "dangerous" props we'll see removed after this. Obviously, it had to have been from inside the park because that would have never gotten through security, at least I hope not.

Well you can (could?) shoot the riverboat as it went by so firearms?

Lots of discussion on Twitter about an armed man walking around Tom Sawyer Island causing it to be evacuated, and heavy security presence was reported. From what I've gathered it was a teenager with a hatchet prop he took from the island.

And the reports online say he was dressed in camouflage attire, holding a hatchet and singing country bear jamboree songs. Now that's a sight to see!

I guess the question could be asked is how close does he have to get before one can identify a prop from an actual hatchet? After it is imbedded in your skull it is going to be difficult to run from danger. You make it sound like the way the world is today we should be able to just assume it's plastic.

Lately, the behavior of both management and guests has invited such comparisons.

Management has for to long catered to those that behave badly. Free passes, free items so they don't get angry. My question is who the hell cares if they don't come back again? I don't, but the more it gets out that a Disney park is no longer a secure place, the more the timid will not go there out of fear, like they don't go to six flags because of it. I have spent 10's of thousands of dollars at WDW, DLR and DLP over the years, where the hell is my free pass or free items. They have created there own nightmare by being worried about those few that are there sometimes to fake problems just to get the bling.

We talk often about how WDW continues to grow because no matter what they do there are, if we decide we don't want to go, 5 others that will replace us. If that is true why are they willing to give away the farm if somebody does something wrong and they fall over backwards to make sure they go away happy. To hell with the rest of us. Anybody that is acting anti-social in any way should be escorted immediately to the gate, issued a no trespass and kicked out, permanently. Remember there are 5 other perhaps civil acting guest that will replace them. I'm not talking just about "Karen's" or their male counter parts unless they get abusive in language or actions, but rewarding them is just plan stupid on Disney's part. It only encourages them to do it again or other to know what an easy touch Disney is now. However, if they're ever in an encounter like the one on the ferry they shouldn't even care why it happened other than determining innocent bystanders. One swing and you're out. No damn calm down gifts. They can cool down on the way home.
