I reserve the right to not publish ignorant ill-informed and filthy comments from vile cretins who have a four letter vocabulary. Further, anonymous comments with strong opinions and personal attacks may be rejected. If you want to voice a strong opinion, at least have the courage to sign your name to it. You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.
A little over 5 years ago I had a cervical fusion...a cervical disc completely ruptured, and was impinging on both the spinal cord and the root nerves branching out in the affected foramen. The surgery went very well, and I now have a plate and four big screws holding the vertebrae together (althought it's mostly the bone growth that's covered everything that provides the structure).
ReplyDeletePost-surgery I used a foam cervical collar to help stabilize things while walking around. I couldn't turn my head to scan my surroundings, I couldn't run, and I certainly wouldn't have been able to engage in any kind of fighting, for several months. I have never felt more like a target for violence in my life. It was like wearing a sign saying, "Attack me, I'm helpless."
So I can't even imagine what it's like to be in a wheelchair without the means to defend yourself.
It strikes me as only common sense that if someone is in a wheelchair, or is otherwise disabled physically, that a pistol is the most reasonable tool with which they can prevent themselves from becoming a victim. I applaud those who refuse to depend on others, and choose to be as independent as possible.
Sweet!
ReplyDeletelooks like he's not going to play the victim...
