Its getting bad

.......................

JACKSONVILLE -- Onslow County deputies were looking for thieves who stole crutches that belonged to a retired Navy sailor.

Angel Acosta lost his right leg in 1989. He left his crutches at the front of an Onslow County store Friday night, and used an electric cart to shop for groceries.

But two men took the crutches and ran off, witnesses said.

"I pretty much was in shock, you know. I can’t really understand why someone would do something like that to someone," Acosta said. "They left me hanging there and i had no way of getting out of my vehicle and into my house at that point."

Help came over the airwaves Monday night. A radio station told listeners about Angel, and a New Bern woman drove to Jacksonville with new crutches for the veteran.

Onslow County deputies had made no arrests in this case.

I have been in a wheelchair for 6 1/2 years.

I have found there are 3 classes of people.

People who want to help you to a flault. (Which are actually nice to have them offer to help, because I can always say, "No Thanks".) The club I belong to was having Christmas Dinner. I thought one young lady was going to cut my food up and feed me! LOL

Or those who look at you and don't want to get to close or even will go out of their way to avoid you. (As if they are going to catch whatever put you in a wheelchair. I'm pretty sure you can't catch a spinal cord injury!)

Then there are out and out a-holes. (Like the young lady who laid on her horn in her SUV. I guess she thought I was taking too much time to roll across in front of her on my way into Harris Teeter. Or several times, drivers just won't stop for me in the crosswalk.)

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      For a 3rd year QB? That flies with the Teppers and makes the HC and GM look like fools.  Their fear is evident. Their careers are tied to making it work, it's ehy they signed on here and they are professionals who knows what kind of a situation they could potentially have on their hands if they are not calculating about popping up Bryce. I call BS to that sir. It's why every QB after Bryce couldn't make any other rosters past a PS spot...at best

      Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.

      Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him
