Not violence but to fight for acknowledgment of our struggles and also our inherit worth. I may used combative language but that's the point. I view combative language as probably the best tool for demographic of people that often are so easily victimized with out any real hesitation. Perfect example, here in Iowa a young child named Levi Null was bullied by classmates for his "odd" behavior and was, if I remember correctly provoked enough by his bullying classmates enough to strike one of them. One of the children had filmed the entire exchange and put it up online. When this was brought to the attention of the parents' the parents of the bullies essentially said he brought it on himself. Let me repeat that, on himself. A 13 yr old boy who because of his Autism is not always able to control his own behavior brought his own victimization on himself, how is that not disgusting? While some rather light punishments were doled out nothing substantive was done to prevent future bullying despite this not being the only incident of him being bullied. Another, a man with Down's Syndrome was essentially suffocated by police officers despite being told repeatedly by that man that he could not breath. No officer involved has been sent to prison. They may have been fired, but still had an ordinary person accidently choked someone to death they would received jail time. The list could go on and on. While you may not like the combativeness of my language I don't care. This is a real issue that affects everyone living with mental health problems and/or neurological disabilities. Its time something was done. Again, not a call for violence but rather a declaration of self worth and a demand that society live up to all it's talk of equality.
WE ARE HERE AND WE SHOULD DEMAND REAL EQUALITY!
