Burglars stoop to new level

In Indiana, a paralyzed man unable to get out of his bed was forced to watch as two men robbed his St. Joseph County home.

The man wasn't even able to call police afterward -- he had to wait until a friend came by.

saddest part... he was all alone. How can someone, so defenseless be completely alone?

[Searching]

I am not sure how it got there.. but someone has actually figured out a way in their mind to blame Obama for this... I am not even that warped. LOL

[cripjak]

Search--Being somewhat disabled I can appreciate the mans plight. I hope the sons of vitches are caught and prosecuted with special circumstances attatched.

Happy T'day Search.

You too cripjak. If you ever get stuck and need some help, you let me know. I would hate to think of anyone being that alone.. ever.
I am almost crying thinking about how helpless he must of felt.

Search---I'm not completely alone. I'm pretty mobile, do everything on my own as far as taking care of myself and have my son and a good friend to help me with transportation and errands and my sons Mom and I are still good friends. I did spend 3 yrs living in a nursing home before I got my own place 3 1/2 yrs ago and know what it's like seeing some of the people there that are "drop-offs". That's really sad.

Thanks for the offer and I appreciate it. If you want I'll e-mail "Fearless Leader" and ask him to share my e-mail address with you. Take care my friend.

This conversation makes me think that there will be, in the future, a post that reads, "Help, I'm in distress, get over here!" Just make sure to put it in the open thread, or James will probably be fairly upset.

All joking aside, I can't possibly wrap my mind around what this guy went through during this and keep myself together at work. And that is the only reason Survival Tactic: Jokes is put in place SO often here.

Roxorz--My apologies if Searchs' and my little off the beaten path conversation offended you. Many people here have interaction within a topic. If you are having a problem wrapping yourself around what the guy went through why don't you volunteer to help people with disabilities. There are many different agencies you can do this through. Believe me any assistance you can give would be appreciated. There are a lot of people in nursing homes that would love just to have people come read to them. Pick a nursing home and contact the social worker. If you really want to see the world volunteer with a hospice. That'll get your attention.

Didn't mean to lecture but I rant once in a while. Have a good T'Day.

Oh, not at all offended. I just have to share my strange little visions I get during conversations sometimes.
Not so much problems wrapping my mind around it in general: just at work, where I need to keep myself professional, rather than in tears or outrage -- or both. My uncle has ALS and I don't even want to imagine this happening to him, or what I would do to the guys who broke in if I found them.

Roxorz---I completely understand what your going through. While I was in the nursing home it was the only place within 250 miles that took "vent" patients. I became close friends with 3 families whose family members were in that position, watched the progression of that insidious disease and was there when two of them crossed over. To be completely aware of what's going on around you and not be able to respond even I can't imagine.I also had a close friend of over 30 years that was diagnosed with AIDS and then developed ALS. What an ALS patient suffers through I wish on nobody. If you have some spare time go see him. Do what you or your family members can for him. I helped my son get through a rare form of cancer and used him as inspiration when I broke my neck and told I would never walk again. Well he beat that and I pretty much beat my issue. ALS there's no turning back regardless of which one of the two types you're diagnosed with. Do what you can. If there's karma you'll be a better person for it. My best to you and yours for the holiday season.---cripjak---

I hope a dude with a .308 and a long range scope finds these dudes before the authorities do.

[cripjak]

Chuck---My son who's 18, has been certified an expert marksman with his 30.06 w/scope, .22cal w/scope, certified with iron sights and his 12ga. and 20 ga.. I'll mention it to him.

Cripjak , when james gets back we'll exchange emails. the subs dont know who everyone one is, but james knows.

[cripjak]

Search--I look forward to it.---Jack---
