I see a lot more paraplegics in our future.

I Can't Feel My Face-Off sounds like a book about paraplegic hockey.

It's a nice little bandaid, but it isn't a solution. It misses the point - which is the fact that being a paraplegic is sheer hell and an living out of an exoskeleton is demeaning. I'd rather see this money go into stem cell research.

When able bodied people see this kind of stuff they think "oh neat, looks like handicapped people are getting along just fine" and then go on with their day (I know this because I thought this way before I got hurt). Not walking isn't the half of it and something needs to be done to get the hundreds of thousands of (often young) sufferers better, not just mobile.

Heya mate,

I noticed a comment you left on the animals in nature compilation and thought I would let you know that the woman getting gored by a bull was actually an animal rights protester there filming the bull run to show other people. She tried to distract the bull from attacking someone else when she fell off the window ledge she was on. She was made a paraplegic by the incident but went on to life another 10 years doing great work for animal welfare.

I just found her on google

It's funny you mention that because the officer on the left DOES actually use technique in his takedown. watch the leg sweep. TAKE THAT YOU CRIPPLED BITCH KEEYAII

I dunno, you can see his feet twitch around at about :45...

True. Which is why I said mobility issues, and not paraplegic.
On the other hand, we might argue that the twitch was actually an attempted leg sweep. Good thing those peace officers have been studying their martial arts self defense techniques!

Hey now, I'm not saying that they were right in what they did. If he's actually a paraplegic, they're fucked. If he was some asshole that stole the chair and had a weapon - different story.
