Of course this only supports and otherwise validates my general purpose rule/observation about people, which is that they are a$$holes. You have to wonder what the security guard was thinking. Couldn't he have escorted the people to their car and then returned the wheelchairs to the mall? Reuters doesn't tell us if the guard lost his job.

and agree that people are a$$holes.

Nope, they didn't say, but at least the owner of the mall has been made aware of the need for pr training for ALL mall staff.

ask yourself how they got into the mall in the first place?

Did the poor brothers have to suffer the indignity of having to "crawl" INTO the store?

Way more to this story than we are told, and crawling is good for you. B-)

by jaqui

that the sister went into the mall, got the chairs and took them out to the car, then parked the car properly.
[ I've seen that activity happening at malls here often enough ]

The Reuters story is just enough to catch the interest, not the full story, usually these are small single paragraph stories on the edge of the newspapers as strange but true / odd spot / what were they thinking type stories

by jdclyde

people in that condition have front row parking and will almost always have their own chair, rather than be subject to a crappy one they might have at a store.

Lots of "could haves" here.....

And how did they get from their house to the car? And if the sister even could have gone in an brought wheelchairs out to them, how was it that she was able to get two empty wheelchairs out of the mall? You're right, jd, lots of "could haves".

by jdclyde

two riding around in wheel chairs.

how were they acting?

Did it look like they might actually be stealing the chairs?

Was their "disability" confirmed?

Where was their parents?

How old were the kids?

This one falls under the old "grain of salt" catagory.

Where is the next one Jaqui?

by jdclyde

sounds like they are getting ready to ask for money to make them feel better.

Never been so embarrassed, so I will tell everyone about it over and over again?

I fully agree with the centers idea of making a huge donation to the charity that helps disabled people as a show that they screwed up and want to make things right.

Handing a fat check to these "boys" would be just stupid and uncalled for. (when is a man in his 40's concidered a boy, unless your trying to generate sympathy?)
