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.)

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Icege · Posted

      Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
