Uhh, the article said he was complaining of chest pain! So what more did you think the story needed?
I’m not trying to take away from the story, but when a news story reports “disabled” they usually don’t mean “in need of medical help for an immediate condition.” They usually mean “permanently disabled.”
You see, truth be told, there are certain things that add to the horror of it all. If this person was in some way truly helpless and dependent on human compassion - like a child, mentally handicapped, or physically disabled - then it makes their act even more disgusting. It’s like when someone beats up an old lady or pushes someone out of their wheelchair. There’s a greater level of disdain for human life on the part of the attacker.
I’m not talking about “hate crime” kind of stuff. A crime is still a crime, but it takes an especially BAD person to victimize those that are partially or completely helpless.
