this really makes my blood boil

[ryder]

was listening to cfrb 1010 in toronto yesterday a talk radio, and the topic.

 

makes me ashamed to be canadian

 

they where there for therpy

 

Injured soldiers who lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan have been jeered out of a public pool for fear that they might frighten children.

 

people who had their kids there for swimming lessons did this. I think that these people should be publicly named and shamedhttp://sc.groups.msn.com/themes/R9c/pby/img/emoticons/emangry.gif

 

this happened in toronto

 

does anyone have a link to this story, I know it;s out ther I just can't find it

[Guest BluesLover]

Ryder - maybe those people should be sent to Iraq and Afghanistan ...

 

Shameful indeed ...

 

The story though is about British soldiers in Surrey, England. Here's the link:

Still, a despicable display regardless.

Hi,

 

that's outrageous. Anyone who laughs at disabled People should be send to Jail for at least 3 Months. Just to make them think about it.

 

And the Fact that those Disabled were Soldiers who have lost their Limbs in Line of Duty doesn't make it easier.

 

If i would be in Charge, i'd say " Over the Plank with them "

[Jrichard]

THEY NEED a GOOOOOD ASS whipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:usa::usa:the MAGGOTS

[RustyNails]

That is one of the most despicable things I have heard in a long time. Instead of thanking the soldiers for their service they reviled them.

[ibents]

Its to bad that some people can't see past the end of their noses, how soon they forget about the bombing's in London last year and that those soldiers were doing their duty to protect the population from more of the same (only on a greater scale) by fanatics that want the destruction of the west.

All military personel serving overseas deserve our thanks and appreciation for their sacrifices.

 

God bless and keep them all.

I agree that those soldiers have more right to be there than anyone else.

But I would also put most of the blame on our media and of course the folks who will buy the media to read it. I'm not saying the media is directly to blame for what happened in the UK but it has a lot to do with the opinion of the general public, in this case the woman that was indicated and the other folks who didn't seemngly stand up for the soldiers. It happened in the UK but could just as easily happened in Canada or the US. Let us be vocal about our support for our Vets and not let them down like as happened here.
