Deaf...speech-impaired...gang raped by 6 people. I hate society. What world do we live in where disabled people are victimized? Disabled people have terrible odds against them: More likely to be unemployed (employers are biased against applicants with disabilities, focusing more on their shortcomings instead of what they can bring to the company). Victimized-As evidenced by this story, people with disabilities are much more likely to be crime victims, especially if they're considered "slow". Special needs students are 5 times more likely to be bullied in school, and let's not get on these state agencies and organizations that are tasked with helping special needs people live independent; many of them do just enough or none at all, leaving special needs/disabled folks to fend for themselves. It's a cold world, but it's even colder for special needs people. The good news is the scumbags who violated this girl were arrested; what their sentence will be is another story. I pray for the healing of this young woman, and I hope the scumbags are punished as harshly as possible for their heinous acts. If I was the authority, these scumbags would not see daylight, or I would sentence them to death for the severity of their offense, taking into account the girl's disabilities.
