minus-squaredaannii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·4 days agoSomeone shamed some old vet beggar who would sit in a wheelchair by a known intersection in town. He was missing a leg. Someone posted on some community FB page , photos of the guy standing and bending down or something. And people were going crazy saying he was a faker for asking for money. Dude was a vet who lost his leg. He wasn’t paralyzed. He never said he was. He is in the chair because he can’t walk much. Doesn’t mean he can’t stand at all. Idk. But yeah it’s a common misconception that only paralyzed people need wheel chairs.
