Dictatorship of the Disabled, Part III
Posted by Dave Blount at October 4, 2007 10:03 AM
From News of the Weird Daily:
The 50,000-square-ft "Basketball Town" kids' sports complex in Rancho Cordova, Calif. (near Sacramento) is today a ghost facility, on the verge of shutting down instead of providing recreation for thousands of urchins and their parents, and the sole reason, according to several news reports: the very, very pissed-off quadriplegic Derrick Ross, who (reportedly) refused to allow people to carry him and his 'chair to and from the festive, joyous (but elevatorless-mezzanine-level) birthday party to which he had been invited, and instead filed yet another Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit, including sort-of "humiliation damages" that the community cannot afford (with the number being tossed out, $100k). A special lift costs about $35k, which someone has offered to donate, but so far, Mr. Ross prefers to remain pissed off.
Ross has filed similar suits against businesses. Under the depraved Americans with Disabilities Act, someone with the exalted legal status of "disabled" can sue just about anyone for just about anything.
Pathological greed isn't the only motivation for these lawsuits: there's also petulance. If I can't have fun in this wheelchair, then no one is going to have fun. As always, moonbattery encourages our lowliest impulses.
Hat tip: Overlawyered, on a tip from Steve.
