They say that senior abuse is on the rise (as is almost every evil if
you ask me). On TV the other night, they showed what happened when staged abuse
took place in a park. Actors - one a senior in a wheelchair & the other an attendant
who appeared to be abusing the disabled man in the wheelchair. A hidden crew filmed
it to see the reactions of passersby. Hardly anyone stopped or did anything about it.
Joggers just looked and kept going. Only 25% of the people attempted to intervene,
75% did NOTHING!
It makes me SICK! 
A few months ago, my cousin was in the local grocery store & saw this guy yelling
& screaming at this little elderly lady with a cane. She watched them to see if this
creature was the woman's son and found out that he was the van driver for a ritzy
assisted living facility. My cousin was so upset by what she witnessed, she cried all
the way home, called this place, demanded to speak to a manager there, & told them
in no uncertain terms that she was enraged & appalled by what she'd witnessed.
They assured her that they would tend to it immediately.
I tell you what, I may not be that big or strong, but you would NOT wanna see
ME coming! 
I've intervened on numerous
occasions when I've witnessed cruel behaviour in any form. I recall being in the Boston Public
Garden & seeing a group of 10 big teenagers standing in a circle shooting rubber bands
at baby squirrels so they couldn't get away & kept getting hit. People saw it - men & women -
but just walked by. Not me! I charged into the middle of those guys, screaming every obscenity I could think of in a total rage. Any of those guys could've beaten me up, but they
ran like the Hounds Of Hell were after them (they were all cowards because only cowards
engage in cruelty to the helpless). My current boyfriend at the time stood by gaping
(another "chicken" that I soon got rid of).
There are many times that I wish I was bigger than 5'5" because there are quite
a few people that are in desperate need of having the beat out of 'em &
I could do it too!
