I am angry.
Not one, but two friends reported being ignored, humiliated and treated shamefully in public yesterday.
They may think these are strong words, but in my anger, they are fitting.
BB (Best Bud) broke her leg, if you recall. She had to take papers to the courthouse. On crutches, she hobbled across the street, with wallet, keys and papers in hand. No one helped her do anything. She had a hard time reaching the basket you put your stuff in to go through the machine that made sure she wasn't going to blow up the place. Bending awkwardly made her drop her stuff. Two fat cops sat there and watched her struggle to pick it up. The "lady" behind her, just sighed heavily, impatient for BB to hurry up and get out of her way.
No one helped her.
Going back across the street, after carefully making sure nothing was coming, a truck roared out of no where and sat there, gunning his engine till she got out of his way.
Another friend, whose knee is injured is on a cane, reported the same thing when she was out in public and her hip came out of joint as she was trying to hoist herself from a chair. She was in excruciating pain, and people just kept on passing her by, ignoring her.
Finally, one of our illegal aliens saw her and came to her rescue.
Welcome to America.
