Today, my grandma was arrested for throwing her cane at a man who she thought was mocking her walk. That man was my boyfriend's father, who limps because of his cerebral palsy. He refuses to drop the assault charges. FML

He isn't wrong. Your grandmother is old enough to know better than to throw a cane at a disabled man.

good. **** your grandma. she's a bitch and deserves it. when you commit crimes, you get punished. zero sympathy. but it's not like a judge will ever sentence a hewpwess widdle owd lady, so don't worry about it.

As someone with a LOT of experience with folks with different disabilities, people like your grandma are the WORST. Living with a disability is bad enough, but having some bitch assume that she is the only one in the world with issues makes things intolerable. What she did was the equivalent of using her mobility scooter to knock down someone recovering from surgery because they took "her" handicap parking place.

Then perhaps she shouldn't have assaulted him in the first place.

This would have been an FML for awkwardness without the last sentence. The fact that someone actually asked the guy to drop charges after he was assaulted for being disabled - that's disgusting. Also, I can't help picturing a rabid old crone throwing her stick at someone and then having to shuffle over to that person to pick it up again.

Idk why you think he would. She attacked him. Adults use their words.

As someone with cerebral palsy, I sympathize with your bf's dad. The limp can be unfortunately noticeable.

Sorry, but I can't blame him for not dropping the assault charges. Your grandmother way overreacted.
