Someone 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.









Even intelligent and educated people don’t know everything about everything.
I can tell you as someone with a higher degree, I only know a lot about the area I studied.
I don’t know more about any other topic than the average joe.
So no matter who you are, you have big gaping holes of knowledge.
We are all at risk when misinformation is spread.
