How Screwed Up Is This?

Its getting bad

JACKSONVILLE -- Onslow County deputies were looking for thieves who stole crutches that belonged to a retired Navy sailor.

Angel Acosta lost his right leg in 1989. He left his crutches at the front of an Onslow County store Friday night, and used an electric cart to shop for groceries.

But two men took the crutches and ran off, witnesses said.

"I pretty much was in shock, you know. I can’t really understand why someone would do something like that to someone," Acosta said. "They left me hanging there and i had no way of getting out of my vehicle and into my house at that point."

Help came over the airwaves Monday night. A radio station told listeners about Angel, and a New Bern woman drove to Jacksonville with new crutches for the veteran.

Onslow County deputies had made no arrests in this case.

Only explanation is that some people are just born turds...

Good grief...I really hope it was just a prank pulled on him by a couple of his friends and not someone maliciously doing that.

A bad prank even if it were.

I have been in a wheelchair for 6 1/2 years.

I have found there are 3 classes of people.

People who want to help you to a flault. (Which are actually nice to have them offer to help, because I can always say, "No Thanks".) The club I belong to was having Christmas Dinner. I thought one young lady was going to cut my food up and feed me! LOL

Or those who look at you and don't want to get to close or even will go out of their way to avoid you. (As if they are going to catch whatever put you in a wheelchair. I'm pretty sure you can't catch a spinal cord injury!)

Then there are out and out a-holes. (Like the young lady who laid on her horn in her SUV. I guess she thought I was taking too much time to roll across in front of her on my way into Harris Teeter. Or several times, drivers just won't stop for me in the crosswalk.)
