ok, so i was standing in front of the building i work in... drinking a smoothy enjoying a nice warm day when a person with cerebral palsy limped by. these two dudes walked by him making fun of him and laughing. by the time they got to where i was standing.....i stuck my foot out and tripped one of the guys, he fell and tore a hole in his pants leg. I said "now that was funny!". the guy screams "whats wrong with you A-hole!!" and starts calling for a cop standing across the street, so i hurried back into the building and now i'm here telling you guys this while i'm eating pizza laughing.

i think i was wrong but ppl who tease disable ppl just makes me upset. do yo think i was wrong for doing that? i couldn't think of anything else to do, i don't even know why i did it.

It's ignorance. Some people can't help if they are handicapped or have a disorder...Then again, ignorant people can't help if they are stupid.

I would say something and start a scene, but that's me.

Isn't the word handicapped in itself meant to be offensive? I know you aren't meant to say it any more, at the very least...

:lol: Good story.

People make fun of handicaps for the same reason they make fun of race, religion, etc. It's just kind of a universal rule that you make fun behind their back. (Not like those two guys you mentioned). Anyone who knows what I'm talking about watches South Park.

People pick on disabled people because they are insecure themselves in some way, and hide that behind what they think is machoism. Its wrong and sick.

An example of this would be the nazis, blaming the economic depression on the Handicaped and the care they receive, so he killed them.

Let them laugh, tripping them up ain't gonna solve anything

People don't like people who are different from them sometimes this results in making fun of them

I don't get it either...I think it's horrible...you should have dumped your smoothy on him or something, he deserved it, eventhough violence is wrong. For example, some time ago I saw a disabled homeless person walking in the street, begging. I didn't have any money. You know that feeling you get when you see someone like that? I felt really bad for the poor guy. I don't get how someone could find that funny :(.

Some people who are very self-conscious constantly belittle others to make themselves feel more superior.

because they hate people who are different than them and like to make fun of people who aren't as fortunate as them, even though they can't help that they're disabled.

To make themselves feel superior. It's the same reason that bullies bully smaller or younger people. It's pretty pathetic.

well the cerebral palsy guy would have found it harder to get up... thus it being funnier. Hell he'd probably hurt himself more in the processs of falling too.. its win, win.
