OMG!!!!!!! I Have a Hard Time Wrapping My Brain Around This!

Excuse the upper case letters but OMG you will see my choice of them are appropriate as you read. I will try to refrain from their use though.....

My father in law has cancer for the 5th time in about 8 yrs. He is not well at all. He has a full trachea ( meaning he has NO diaphragm, esophagus or anything in his throat areas )he is on Oxygen full time and is very very weak and needs a wheelchair and/or walker ( walker for at home most times ).
He is 75 yrs old.

SO - him and mom are coming home from a cancer treatment and stop in at Walmarts. They park their handicapped access van in the HC spot and dad rides his chair down the ramp. Right as he closes the ramp his O2 whistles and he knows he will not have enough 02 to last in the store, so he sets in his chair at the back of their van. Not behind it but at the rear end side panel. Mom goes around the other side to get a new tank of 02 for him.

This lady ( term used loosely ! ) parked beside him backs up and gets so close to dad he puts his hand out on her car - just an ins-tint reaction , ya know?

She hits him so hard with her car - he flies out of his chair and lands on the pavement. Mom runs around to him and this PERSON ( there that is a better word lol ) gets out of her car, stands over top of dad and screams "what the F ( full word was said ) were you doing"? Jawdropping!

She jumps back in her car and burns tires getting away.

She leave my dad ( he is like a dad to me ) in the parking lot ground with my mom to pick him up and put back in the chair alone.

He is scraped and bruised but all in all is OK.

Mom got the plate # ( Thank God ! ) and charges are to be pressed against this driver. Walmart is turning their film over to the police to help with evidence as to what happened.

Can you image someone hitting you - knocking you OUT of a WHEELCHAIR and standing over you screaming like that?

I still am trying to wrap my brain around anyone acting like this Puzzled

Rediculous!!!!!

MsHumptyDumpty,

My God, I am so sorry that had to happen. If it was me, that "person" might have had a knuckle sandwich!!! Sounds like what I see in South Florida! Pitiful for sure!!! *HUGS* I don't know if one can get "their brain wrapped" around this incident!

Do you all call the police on this "jerk?" I hope a little scrapes and bruises was all that happened... scary...

Sounds like hit and run to me.

I'd press charges on that b1thc. What's sad is WallyWorld can be scary. There are some seriously freaky people who go there.

Hence this site kinda points it out....

http://www.peopleofwalmart.com

I know it is an inexpensive place to shop in relative terms. As a rule I stay away from them.

Yeah, that site is a hoot!!! I am soooo glad that you DID call the police. Walmart is being supportive and cooperating with them? That is good to hear - it would really be "not good" should such a story end up on the "six o'clock news" huh? Is he okay? Take care.

so awful!

I am so glad that your father-in-law is OK, also your Mum, it was big shock for them both.

I am glad you are taking action to trace and bring this person to answer and hopefully be charged for what she has done.

I was crossing the road one day on my scooter, I checked as always, the road was clear, empty in fact. Before I reached the other side a car sped up and spun round the corner, had to slam on the brakes, the middle-aged female driver, shouted out, 'get out the road, thats why God made you a cripple' Then drove off before I could say:-

I would sooner go through life disabled then go through life with an attitude like yours

What a story!

First let me say that I'm glad your in-laws are okay. What has happened to compassion in this world?

The Wal Mart that I use is a few blocks from my home. The local police department is housed on the lot to the left and the hospital is directly across the street -- and private security patrols the parking lot -- so any incidents like what happened to your inlaws would be tended to quite quickly.

I do hope this person gets penalized for their actions. Nothing worst than beating up on someone when they're already down.

Take care,

Judy
