Hate crimes and Able-ism

[Charles Brown]

Seems to me this type of mass murder of elderly or diabled by hateful medical professionals is reported from time to time in the press. Who knows how many others are not reported. Nazi advocacy of the same is another reason we don't need Nazi ideas circulating in the marketplace of ideas anymore.

When I raise the issue of hate crimes
against those who are not as "able" as
others -- coming from an able-ist bias,
I am often looked at incredulously.  So
many wrongly believe that the disabled
and elderly are untouchable, cared for,
protected persons -- how could anyone do
anything deliberate against them?

Here is one account of such a hate
crime.
