When there’s a police shooting, we all know to view the statements by authorities as being suspect. When the FBI interrogates a learning disabled woman without a lawyer to help her, we all take it as gospel truth. Strange disconnect, right?

The obvious flaw here is your ableism. Nothing described in this article means “having a low IQ” or “dumb”. Our legal system does recognize that people can be so impaired as to be less responsible for their actions, so your “obvious flaw” bit doesn't even hold up. Don't disguise the hatred in your heart as legal…

So? You could be exactly right about how this information was leaked, and it wouldn't make her less disabled or more liable for crimes.

Thanks for your perspective. Please remember to take care of yourself. I'm sure you know this, but there's a few support groups online for people who care for someone with a severe disability.

Unfortunately, many people with severe physical/learning/mental/emotional disorders have to simply make do because we don’t have a good system set up to assist them. She also could have had help from her family or friends or neighbors, or maybe she’s able to complete tasks like doing the wash, cooking, and cleaning.…

i cracked up. Poor Adam Wiles, losing all of that public attention AND his girlfriend in one fell swoop!

Then why comment such ableist shit in this case?

Unless you have a severe leaning disorder! I get it, you don’t understand disability and how weird the brain can get, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. But thank god you can become an expert on all things disability and how disability may alter legal culpability by reading an article on Jezebel.

SAME. This woman’s legal guilt is a matter for the courts. It’s such a fraught and confused situation, people shouldn’t be leaping to “BURN THE STUPID EVIL BITCH DEVIL”. Jez has a real problem with ableism and that’s out in full, disgusting display in the comments of this article. I'm a queer woman with a learning…

Do you call most people with learning disorders dumb?

She doesn’t get to pull “being disabled” because people on the Internet have already decided she should be hung? The fuck?

I have a variety of learning disorders, none of them absolve me of being an accessory to murder, but all that means is that my disorders aren’t everyone’s disorders. Having one learning disorder doesn’t make you the expert on what learning disorders a stranger has, how they alter that person’s abilities, and how that…

To be fair, I know from Through the Wire that he has some speaking difficulty after having his jaw messed up in a car accident. Also why he doesn’t smile- he thinks it looks weird after the accident.

I thought so too, but I think the shells are just puffy.

I’m so sorry. Your aunt sounded like a lovely human being. Take care of yourself, please!

Damn, the amount of condescendion from random photographers you're getting is amazing.

That's a nasty and unnecessary thing to say.

So her sister said some stupid shit, therefore Kendall should be cool with a random woman calling her and her best friend bitches for the crime of being currently more popular than her? Seymour came off bitter and jealous, which is insane considering her career.

That’s what I don’t get! The Smoking Man can commit murder daily and walk away clean, has been murdered twice yet is alive, and he can’t access some damn adoption records?

No way! Dogget is the most watchable thing in the eighth season. Honestly, I’ve heard that Scully gives her baby up, and I just think there’s no way she’d ever do that, so it's just another example of the show writing itself into a situation and doing stupid shit to get out.
