I mostly empathize with him because he killed someone that represents all that I hate.

This post is bogus. Because of a made up scenario where I ostracized family members and coworkers because of their disabilities (which I dont), I should feel bad about giving this man my support, when his own disabilities have nothing to do with?

I get the "violence has no place in our society" arguments but what the hell is this?

Ok, now do that for every disabled person

Bruh, it's not his disability that got him praise....

Sure! All they have to do is just kill ONE billionaire!

Let's please not take this opportunity to make the populace complicit in corporate greed

I support this but this is a lot of vitriol at the wrong crowd. Don't create divisions like this, that's how they keep us distracted.

I don’t think it’s as much empathy for being disabled, as much as it’s hero worship for doing a thing a lot of people wish they could’ve done themselves. The spinal condition gives the motive, and the memorable name is… well, memorable.

Now, if more disabled folks were to don a green shirt and blue overalls, and perform more courageous acts that benefit society as a whole, then I’d bet more people would hero worship them too.

This is a stupid post because it assumes the readers don't. Which I'll bet they do, more often than not.

The thing I identify with is doing a Luigi on the elites.

No, I’m not going to assume that every “overdramatic” or “unreliable” person is disabled. Maybe they’re just obnoxious, selfish, or lazy. I’m going to hold them accountable for their behavior.

I will say that more disabled and homeless people I have talked to have discussed wanting to maintain the existing system of exploitation and somehow just get a lucky break/subsidy to get them out of their rough spot, rather than discuss class conciousness, strangely enough.

That said, I conversate with them, give what I can to them, look them in the eye and try not to ignore them. They are humans too. I hope this high profile incident brings more awareness to the need to work together to counteract the lazy bums living off of taxpayer money and government handouts (healthcare executives).

Yeah... But do we really think disabled people are getting told they're just being dramatic? I'm sure that's happened, just seems like a weird generalization
