See 23-Year-Old Help Scared Elderly Man Down Escalator

- A photo of a young man helping an 83-year-old down an escalator is warming hearts across the country. The elderly man was frozen with fear as he stood atop an escalator at the Holyoke Mall in Holyoke, Mass. That's when 23-year-old Alonzo Johnson stepped in, locking arms with the senior citizen and helping him down the escalator. The older man was terrified to get on because of a previous frightening experience he once had on an escalator, according to Johnson. #InsideEdition

What’s crazy is that helping someone is now seen as abnormal
Sad but true !
It's the times when it's not normal to love but hate. Ignore and no compassion
N B I agree. I personally love seeing good things on the news in general.
N B That’s true. I was behind a woman at a restaurant. She was paying and forgot her credit card. I paid her bill. It was under $10. She wanted to pay me back but I told her just to help someone else. It’s what we need in this world today.
You know they literally posted this because he’s black and the older man is white 🤦🏻♀️ I see this at times and I’ve done this myself because I’m a nursing assistant at an assisted living. 🙄 if it were a white 23 year old no one would bat an eye lol
His mom raised him right, they both deserved much respect.
Yes!!!
His parents raised him to have his photo taken acting!
@@truthnumb972 Numb to the truth....indeed. Trump lost, get over it.
I like these kind of people. Give me respect for the Black Community.
What if he didn’t have parents? He’s just a good man.
We don't need more people like him, WE need to be more like him.
Word em up
Best comment on the internet
@@teddywestside4816
@Child friendly comments No I didn't, someone may have also commented it, but I didn't copy anyone. I just think that's how it should be, we shouldn't expect other people to be kind like the young man featured in the video, we, ourselves should try to be more like him as much as we can!
But still Yes
Everyone talked that "We need people like him", instead we should talk "We need to be like him".
That hospice nurse taking the picture rather than being the one helping
@@Sssilentlaugh I agree with you though.
I’m like him!
@@yulietbea3317 Good for you ! Kindness never dies !
Finally, a positive story about my generation.

Even if they do become a kind person, the statemnt is definitely still true. Its just annoying when everyone repeats the same statement for likes.
PLEASE SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!
The END!
So how is what you’re saying any different?
This man is a real man. Helping people when they need it. Great job young man.
Now only if they would give him a job!
But if a Karen saw this you know what's going g on in her mind.
This happens so much more often than people realize and I’m glad that this young man’s care and compassion has been recognized.
Lol you know why they chose him to be on the news. We all know why.
@@kevinsaviro2708 huh ☠️☠️
@@kevinsaviro2708 yes because he's young and helped an old man on the escalator. Yes, we know there is a stereotype of young people being selfish and only interested in themselves, well this helps debunk the myth.
I can't believe I live in a world where simply being nice to someone is so rare it has to be put on the news.
true
I know right😂😂 I remember a few years ago my dad helped an elderly lady get out of her booth at a restaurant, why wasn't he put on the news?🤣
True!!
@@MasonCroneMusic bc they were living in the moment and didn't take a picture
ikr
His mother can never be any prouder than seeing her boy do what she taught.
Chipmunk Amen to that 💯💯👌👌🙏🙏
his momma is a good black Christian woman, where wooden spoon will always on his mind if he behave bad🚑🚑😱
His momma gave him a big old kiss on his cheek when she seen that and baked his favorite desert
@@valerytasar3251 sounds like my momma
@@SgtJoeSmith 😂😂😂
His mama raised him right! The world needs more young men like this!
We need more people like this guy.
I myself am afraid of going down escalators because I suffer from congenital glaucoma in my left eye, making steep things my enemy. I’m so happy this guy help him
Respect for the elderly is such a lost art. He's not my son, but I'm proud of him nonetheless.
@Kai Evans Maybe the phrase “showing compassion for another human being in need”. Some day you may need the kindness of another and understand that it is a sign of respect to be helpful
Kat Live Exactly. Be the bigger person.
@Kai Evans So you don't respect people automatically.
Well said.
lost art in the west but not in asia.
God bless that man. His mother taught him right. :)
Carebearz76 he did one good thing. lol
Moe Zakzouk Sometimes just one act of kindness can change a person's whole day for the good. Every little thing counts, especially today, when every person needs to stand united with their fellow humans, no matter how big or small the issue ^^
Carebearz76 Nice backhanded complement.
matt long omg
matt long haha that's not even right
I understand. I was terrified of escalators when I was a little girl! GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG MAN AND YOUR MOTHER FOR TEACHING YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING!
It always makes me happy to assist an elderly person whenever possible.
Don't ever get impatient or nasty when you see someone like this. Try to help. If a person can't move quickly, those things can be death traps, and the fear is perfectly justified.
Well said! :)
I have seen people actually get trapped on escalators
Hey: we'll all be there someday.
Keep preaching.
Im 30 years old and i avoid using escalators. I hate them with a passion
He’s an outstanding young man, making his momma proud ☺️
good man,we all need help sometime.i hope someone like alonzo is there for me
I don't get the thumbs down. Very scary 😱!
SURE....
Turns you on right?? For the bbc
@@MyNoob300 bruh . . .
Bless this man’s heart 🙏🏽
This young man has a heart of gold❤️. The world needs more people like him❤️❤️. Never change your beautiful spirit. ❤️.
Hey Mom, Good job raising that boy into an awesome young man!
He made me proud and he's not even my son.
Andrew T - sadly, I’m sure that you’re right. The young man mentions in the story how his mother raised/taught him (no mention of a father 😩). So, that’s why I addressed the mom; acknowledging her as a great parent.
@@constitutionalist79 oh really? You threw so much shade in your comment, but anyways I'm only gonna acknowledge your mammy too since you didn't mention your daddy! 😂🤣😭🖕🏾
@Andrew T Your dad is also your uncle
That’s my cousin on my dads side
Smart kid to know that talking with someone is a good way to distract them from their fear. Gets them out of their head.
@Peter D Nice way to say you're clueless.
lol KID I’m 23 too and yet I still look 16 :p
At the end of the day it doesn't matter what we look like or what's our race. Everybody will get to a point they will need help. Very sweet and touched video!!
What a wonderful young man. The world needs more like him! Thank you!
show them there's still some good in our generation , that's what I'm talking about 💯

@@jijagrilona5533 Why do I? I just asked what God had to do with it? It wasn’t even mentioned in the film. If anyone seems upset it’s you. In willing to bet if someone had said Allah bless this mans mother you’d have been offended.
Absolutely incredible on both their parts. For the older gentleman to have the bravery to overcome his fear, and this young man who had the kindness to help him through it.
Too bad there aren’t more people just like him ‼️ YOUR’E AWESOME 👍🏻😊
Please, God, don't let a cruel world change his young man's heart. We do so need the younger generation to show empathy and compassion.
Hi
Dakø rapid
I’m on both sides
Amen!!!
Sarah Willoughby amen
Dakø rapid you’re not real
Look at that - not a black man helping not a white man, just a kind man helping an elderly man. Thank you, sir.
No fear of discussing it, just no need to differentiate really. We're all human and that's all that matters. People helping people - that's what matters. ;-)
I Q 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
The only reason this is a story is because this guy looks like lil wayne
so many other kinds of ethnicities and especially white people help the elderly every day yet this rare case of a black man doing it gets all the press?
apologetic media/race favoritism
BraveInternetGuy There is plenty of news coverage about whites doing random acts of kindness. You're just mad that every now and again a black man gets that same type of attention.
then why did it hit the news then?? wake up idiot, if he wasnt black it would of been no story at all.... who is this female that took the picture? why did she feel the need to make a topic out of it? what was her point? was it to point out ohh look wow a black guy helping a white man,,, look mum look everyone on facebookkkkkkk
What a wonderful young man. We need more people like him.
What a wonderful young man….we certainly need more like him. And to his Mother…..good job!
The hearts of good men have neither race nor prejudice.
That is so profound!
Yes Lord!!👍🙏
Nice!!! 🔥🔥🔥
@@RuaWaterwalker it most certainly is! (Wow, I hear no one use that word, but me. Wonderful!)
Amen!
It sucks that being kind and doing the right thing is a big deal nowadays, shouldnt even have second thoughts about it
There's so much kindness out there. It's the news that isn't kind 😂
Mhm, it’s like their watching aliens ;-;
It’s sad but in reality we live in a cruel and unjust worls
Very true
Sometimes it's scary though, because a lot of people don't trust you helping them
Proud of this young man. Just a simple act of kindness can mean everything to people in need.
Way to go. Young man definitely helps his elders and respects his elders. You only know when he has children they will be raised Right.
I'm physically disabled so I understand all too well how scary those things can b.
This proofs that there still humanity in people.
Mark Olander thank you so very much!
It's amazing, how a small, seemingly insignificant gesture can impact a person's life. Pay attention to those around you.
Proves*
Same here, If there's an elevator I'd prefer them instead
I have MS and find them terrifying too, and though I'm not old. Like you, I understand completely
People like this make me still have faith in humanity
I second that.
Spoiler! He picked the old man’s pocket.
Emma Greenman me too
Im weeping my tears

Small kindness here and there makes the world a better place. Bravo to the young black man for his kindness and for the senior citizen for his trust
Thank you young man you just made my day for showing of kindness thank you
The fact that this is news shows how sick this world is
exactl, doing the right things seems odd and peculiar nowadays
@@maverick6775 yes, ridiculous indeed.
True
Still fun to hear this story :)
The fact that there is footage lets me know it’s staged.
Us older people tend to become "invisible" to the younger generation so this is really wonderful to see!
Lots of older people arent respective towards younger people, thats why it mirrors back
My parents raised me to always be aware of my surroundings and the people around me.. if anyone, regardless of age, etc needs any help, I'll be right there to try to do the right thing and make the day a little better for everyone! (Hopefully lol)
@@dislikebutton966 It goes both ways in both ways. Let’s not put all the blame on older people
I wonder why
@@dislikebutton966 You're definitely not wrong about that so I see why a lot of people just don't help anymore.
That kid is a wonderful human being for what he did. We need more people like him in this world!
No we dont need more people like him

Wow that was so nice we need more people like him in the world😊

Amen, good job
Well done young man, your mama would be very proud of you and how well she has raised you. We definitely need more people like this. Thank you for your act of kindness, you an angel to this old man and many who have lost faith in humanity. Thank you again 👏
This is what a real man should be, proud of this man.
He saw an elderly man. Notice he didn’t say elderly white, Asian or other man. That’s a man seeing a man.
PERIODT
FACTS! (coming from a black person)
I think this talk about race is really twisting people
@FitRN Usually the racist is the person pointing out race. This was a kind gesture from a young man. What the hell does race have to do with it? Get the chip off your shoulder and become a better person like the young man in the video. You have hate in your heart and that's just sad. Best of luck to you.
@Johnathan Doe don’t reply to racism with more racism
@FitRN let’s not be racist
Young people like this give me hope for the future, what a fine young man and a gentlemen, well done good sir, well done.

This must be normal for everyone to help elders and sick. This is expected of humans. Love and care for each other.
This young gentleman was well raised. His mom must be so proud
"Train up a child in the way he should go & when he is old he shall depart from it"
Raise your babies right! They should be taught love, kindness and respect for others no matter what!
"He shall not depart from it" Sorry!
Now that is the way that black and white should interact!

Love you young man. Your mother raised a gentleman and so kind. Hats off to your mother. What a handsome a kind young man. Your voice so sweet and soothing.
Don't allow society to change you. My mother raised 6...all men today.
Be safe and enjoy your life.

@@isaiahjefferson2083 , the guy specifically said his "mom" always told him to be kind to people he didn't say dad !!!
This country does not respect elders like other cultures. The fact that this even made the news is sad in itself, this should be commonplace!
AmericanPatriot you couldn’t be more correct.
But its not so we appreciate those who still show love & respect in a world full of uncalled for hate
AmericanPatriot I agree I have told my husband the way he talks with his parents would be slapped in my country. American culture really needs to rethink about the way they interact with elders. In my culture you respect and care the elders otherwise people can kill you by spitting on you. Seriously!
AmericanPatriot Agreed! Just the same, I’m really glad this event go5 the attention it has...
It should be Common Place but unfortunately, here in "HATEFUL America!" Our Common Place is Evil and disrespectful 😠 of Elders.
He said his mom always told him to do the right thing. Great Mom, Great son.
God bless you son you did the right thing by helping because you never no someone will help you or your elderly parents 1 love son and god bless you allways

Jalyn Fetters hi
I've experienced something like this. When I was younger, I went to a mall with my mom. I never liked escalators and my mom went down without me. I was still at the top of the escalators and I cried because my mom kept yelling for me to come down. I wanted her to come back up for me and pick me up and put me on the escalator because I was afraid of going on it but she never did that. I was crying and crying and my mom was STILL yelling at me to come down, then a random stranger picked me up and put me on the escalators. I'm grateful for that kind man for relieving my anxiety and stress.
Bravo to this young man. World needs more people like this.
That lady was legit riding the escalator like a horse
