I was out for a walk this afternoon, as always preoccupied in my own world :mimitchi: . As i passed the pharmacy, there a mass of people standing in a circle, and in the middle was a person with Down's Syndrome who was throwing a tantrum. Her story was, as i was told later, that she was angry about a doctor's appointment or something. She was lying face down on the pavement, snapping viciously at her caretakers' attempts to get her up. I really didn't have any time to stop - the book store closes early on Fridays. But all the people i saw around her were laughing and snickering shamelessly and overtly and at this poor individual, and i overheard someone whispering ..."Shouldn't be allowed out in public." Jeez, and I thought they had banned eugenics...
This woman was scared, and people were laughing. i was so upset. It sounds banal, but i never laugh or glare at people. it's just common courtesy. I didn't know people in my town were so mean and petty. i mean, there was a mob of people of all ages.
What would you have done?
