 Well first of all, it's really sweet of you and everyone else to donate money, time and love to special needs. People are so cruel. My step sister has severe autism and when I would take her for walks or play with her outside, kids from my school would always call us out and make fun of her. It broke my heart sooo much. If anything, people with special needs are the most kind-hearted human beings. They don't do anything to harm anyone, and the sad part is that some don't know when someone is making jokes about them. Honestly, I think you did the right thing. Yeah, cursing someone out isn't the best thing to do but you stood up for them and I'm sure they were grateful of you. Some people have *nerve* and those people are just the scum of the earth. Keep doing what you're doing! Good luck!

 Because sometimes you can't fix stupid!
People who have a problem with handicapped/special needs are pathetic. I guess they are afraid that it could rub off on them or that it is not OK to be different. People like that are ignorant and a waste of oxygen.
Next time someone is being "dumb" about it, EDUCATE THEM! It's not like any one chooses to be born a certain way.
And keep up the good work!

I wanna say thanks to the anon, punksavage, and chickpea2011 for your comments. For the update with the guy that threw his trash at them came by and apologize to them and started playing with them now. He helps out everyday now and some of the kids are afraid of him but its gonna take time. I feel like if the bad people was disable or special needs they would want people to treat them right and many more.
P.S. We started raising money for them so they can go out during the summer . We're doing a car wash, yard sale, and many more . All the workers donated money so we have 1,000 dollars soo far

 Hi,
First if all, these are not people... See, this world have all kinds of people, so many bad things happen, you see it everyday, everywhere. Why do people get away with murder? Why bad people continue living their lives as if nothing happen? Through out life, you will see no class people, rude people, selfish people, etc... But, know that they are victim themselves, because they were raised in families that didn't give them enough love and guidance. Sometimes, life is tuff on them and make them bitter and rude... I am very sorry that you had to experience that, and made you feel sad. Don't be mad at them, have compassion.... If you hate, the hate comes back to you. I am human, and I get mad myself, but I stay strong and try to be in control.
I am grateful and so happy to hear about your sister and your generosity. Because of kind people like you, with so much love in your hearts, there's always hope, and we can still make the world a better place.
God bless

 My heart goes out to the special needs. For highschool i got my hours done volenteering and a special needs home. I think alot of people are rude to them because there an easy target, its easy to make fun of someone beacause there "different". Also maby their frightend of them im sure there are many "reasons" that people do this but none of them are right

Why are people mean to the disabled? I think part of it is fear. People fear those who are different from themselves. It's why racism and bigotry exists too. People are afraid of other people who are different from themselves, but are afraid to show their fear so they cover it up and the outcome is hate. Such people are to be pitied, they clearly have serious issues within themselves.
while I think it was very commendable of you to stand up to that hateful person, and I applaud you for it, I also suggest next time instead of meeting force with force, how about if you try to talk to that hateful person. Calmly ask him, why do you feel such hate towards those with disabilities? Confront him, don't let him off the hook. But do it with questions. For every answer he gives, ask more probing questions - e.g. why do you think there's something wrong with people with disabilities, why do you feel so threatened by them, what if some day you were struck with a disability too? maybe it will leave something in the hateful person's mind to ponder at a later time and may lead to some self-reflection in them.
