This Was Hard to Watch, but the Beautiful People Who Step Up to Defend Him Will Inspire

Bowing to those that stepped in.

Two of my neighbors sons are both afflicted Downs, and the public school I attended also served as the local special needs school, so I'm familiar with those with disabilities. I will admit that I sometimes do feel uncomfortable around them, but I know full well their condition isn't of their choosing.

I will also admit to calling people retards too. But it's not in reference to those above. I apply to those that should know better but still act like an idiots, usually repeatedly.

I hate when the press creates situations and edits film to bolster their views.

That is not journalism it is infact fiction film making.

I've never met anyone with DS that I didn't like. They are sincerely friendly and trusting to a fault but given opportunities always shine.


I find grocery stores to be the worst places for confrontations of any kind. It's always in the checkout lines, usually the express lines!!!


I recall Christmas 2012, a male customer berating a female customer over who was first in line! He was foul mouthed towards her, at a no-frills store. He dropped the c-word loudly and actually moved towards her that was it, I stepped in and I wasn't even in line but could hear everything in the aisle across from them. He decided just to forget about his groceries as two employees, myself and two other gentlemen walked outside of the store. In fact, police were called because he wouldn't leave the property and this was because of who was first.

Remember, when we kids, retarded was still an acceptable term, then into high school it was special education/special needs, but never good to hurt someone because they look different.

When I coached houseleague sports (there would always be 2/3 teams out of our centre), I would choose the child with a special need first and would always get the best player of the group too because their parent would want them on my team. Remember, it was houseleague. A lot of good teaching went on there for everyone.

It's shameful that some didn't say anything but luckily we do have people that will put their own safety on the line and step in.

Too back you couldn't pop him one on the head.
