WTF Is Wrong With Some People?

This boggles the mind.

A man heckling First Lady Laura Bush and daughter Jenna outside the 92nd Street Y was arrested after he punched a wheelchair-bound girl whose parents had told him to shut up, authorities said yesterday. German Talis, 22, was shouting obscenities at the Bushes, who were leaving the building Tuesday, when he crossed paths with Wendy and John Lovetro and their daughter Maureen, 18, who has cerebral palsy.

They had been in the audience to hear the Bushes talk about their children's book, "Read All About It."

"He began yelling about Iraq and Iran at Jenna Bush. She was waving at the crowd. I told the guy, 'What are you doing? Shut up. This is about a child and books,' " said John Lovetro. "He was unperturbed. I said, 'Get out of here! You're being a moron!' "

The next thing he knew, Talis was allegedly punching Maureen - a fan of the first lady since meeting her in 2004.

"I heard my daughter hysterical yelling, 'He's hitting me!' " said Wendy Lovetro.

"He punched her on the shoulder blades, but that wasn't enough," she said.

"My husband pushed the wheelchair away from him and he reached beyond my husband and began pounding my daughter in the thigh." {...}

Pardon the language, but WHAT THE FUCK?

Apparently it's all right to start punching a young lady who's been put in a wheelchair by cerebral palsy when her family tells you to stop heckling the First Lady and her daughter? Oh, yeah, you're the big man, aren't you? Striking a blow for Free Speech by putting the smackdown on a crippled young woman? This is the best way to get your point about the "atrocities" in Iraq across? What are you doing? Trading brutality for brutality?

What the fuck?

There are days when I want eugenics and I want them now, simply because idiots like this one would be the first ones to go.
