I agree with that. The problem in my opinion is not the use of certain words, but that some people use disability as an insult, comparing someone they don't like or don't agree with to people with a (usually specific) disability, implying that having that disability makes you less valuable.

They don't mention his prior criminal history, this guy is in his 50's and probably has been in and out of prison his whole life. If he were some poor shmoo with no priors he would have probably been refered to a shrink.
The teller handed Brown three stacks of bill but he only took a single $100 bill and returned the remaining money back to her. He said that he was homeless and hungry and left the bank.
The next day he surrendered to the police voluntarily and told them that his mother didn’t raise him that way.
He sure sounds like a real badass to me. 😵

Originally posted by JigtieYeah when he said he was raised right you can take that to the bank.
LOL! No, but I think we have a pretty good idea what kind of person he is.
You don't have a clue as to what kind of person he is. Absolutely none. How can you presume to make a judgement like that based on the article?

Yeah drug and alcohol dependant homeless people who rob banks and turn themselves in are probably just great , you should invite him into your home for a stay and see how nice he is.
Originally posted by Sam The ShamHis actions were to return the money and hand himself in. When you do something wrong Sam do you own up and right the wrong? That's his actions.

1) His prior abuse of whatever substances is besides the point.
2) Any prior criminal charges against him is besides the point.
This time, he stole a hundred dollar bill, came back the next day
with a bad conscience and turned himself in to the police. That's
the crime he was tried and sentenced for, and that's what you
should look at when you ask yourself: "Were the sentence really
proportional to the crime?"
