I feel the same way when the media makes a big deal out of people with disabilities being harmed. They always say that it's awful and horrible that someone would do this to a person in a wheelchair, or whatever the case may be. And I agree, it is awful, but does it make it more awful because they are disabled? It's just horrible that someone can do something harmful to ANYONE in my opinion, some people are just demented. The people committing these atrocious crimes are mentally ill, they don't differentiate between old and young, feeble and strong, appropriate and inappropriate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636208865933202130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895407124479555371.post-64993118762563360682010-07-15T17:22:27.403-07:002010-07-15T17:22:27.403-07:00It is disgusting that such a terrible crime could ...It is disgusting that such a terrible crime could happen in such a place.

The media decides what is front page news and what is a snippet in page 5 and I agree that they get it wrong at times; both stories are really awful, disgusting and tragically sad.

I agree with all whose sentiment is that this is a horrible crime and that no one deserves to be disgraced in this way. I do however find it interesting that this gentleman you speak of never made the headlines.
