Update on Ray Sandford’s fored electroshock located here at ‘The Gimp Parade’
Also found via ‘The Gimp Parade’, (you’ll have to sit down for this one – or perhaps not, if you’re used to not having transportation via a combustible engine – you might be surprised what some of the fuckers who drive pull) a woman who uses a wheelchair is getting sued for damage because the truck that hit her while crossing the street isn’t in pristine condition any more. Yes, you read correctly, and the comment’s section isn’t unusual, either.
And as for this comment, and others’ like it -

As politically incorrect as it may sound, this woman really had no business being on a busy street like that. I’m familiar with Gainesville, Hall County, and it’s high traffic and very fast paced. She was obviously endangering herself as well as others. With there being no intersection, this landscaping truck saw no reason to be looking out for a woman in a wheelchair wheeling rolling along. My mother is completely disabled and she wouldn’t dream of doing something like this. Most handicapped individuals know their limitations and rolling around in a wheelchair on a busy street is one of them. There is free transportation for situations like this.
S’not ‘their own limitations’. It’s you bastards who refuse to stop to let people cross the street. Not like we (that is, people who don’t drive) need you to get out and carry us across with flowers and a bottle of wine. I mean, My God, you don’t even have enough compassion to put in a crosswalk! Not that most of you don’t drive right over them without looking – anyway -, but due to the ‘Giving’ holiday season you could at least – consider – it. If you need to get across the street you …need to get across the street. There’s nothing left to – do – but move like hell when you greedy sonofa….won’t stop for a moment to let someone that I know damn well you probably see cross the street. Besides which, here’s a thought; If the car next and in front of you has, wonder of wonders, stopped, then perhaps you too should Slow The Fuck Down To See Why instead of speeding right along with a hearty ‘too bad, so sad’ in your heart of hearts.
-Edited to add; Free Transportation? O Rlly? Funny thing about transportation – It’s only free if you have a card, it generally does not, in fact, pick you up outside your door so you – still – have to go a few blocks to the bus stop. And! It doesn’t come whenever you want it to. Sometimes it doesn’t even show! Or they drive right by you, and isn’t that one always fun. Or it’s full. Or they say they can’t take you, that the bus you’re really looking for is the next one, and you get screwed because the driver turns out to be – wrong -. Heard about that last one last week, along with a few other choice stories – and believe you me, everyone’s got ‘em. “They have transportation for that” my ass.
