If he stayed for a minute, let her know he was sorry and allowed her the opportunity to explain why what he did was so hurtful I'm guessing she would be telling people to cool it and allow him to learn from his mistake. The issue would then be more about how our society treats people who have differing abilities, and less about him being a jerk.
I can understand why someone could see a wheel chair and as a drunken mistake push it down the stairs like an idiot. Because I can believe he wouldn't associate the wheel chair with a real person that he was hurting. But to look her in the face and not be able to come up with a sincere apology. That's hard for me to understand.
