“And just as soon as he’s picked her up from college, he’s going to do something about it”

I've seen ADA access be a temporary ramp that is stored elsewhere when not needed for stages like this. I can't see an excuse if that's an option.

Probably not work the risk of dropping him things get really unstable when you're lifting a heavy weight over chest height.

i wonder how she was found out. perhaps a series of complaints requiring oversight?

What in F are you talking about? They are doctors first and finish Med school like every other doctor and then specialize in psychiatry afterwards. Whatever stupid links you posted, it appears you didn’t read them or probably and more likely didn’t comprehend them. We already have evidence you didn’t understand one of the articles you linked….

250 pound wheelchair. 160 pound man.

Yeah, and I’ve never been hit by a car. Clearly, all these news stories about being hit by a car are all just made up.

So everyone just stood and stared and watched him struggle? Carry that damn wheelchair up. 2 good sized boys should be able to handle it. Lift from the knees!

More of that standard "minorities have all the unfair advantages" thinly veiled racism.

Fake it til you make it

Not rich enough for Oprah. Oprah helps those who can help Oprah.

It bothers him, yet he won’t stop doing it… I’m confused. 🤔😒🤨

So is their inevitable death.

The flooded area returns to meadow and eventually forest because of the years of flooding and sediment deposits.

Beavers gotta beave.

But there has to be limits to which people leave nature alone. If honey bees started building millions of hives in elevator shafts of every building in major cities, nobody would be saying "Leave the bees alone".

Because they ache to bash a politician + they have zero experience with disability or wheelchairs.

She wasn't great but not terrible

No the weird and cruel part was forcing him to do that.

Bringing things like that to light is what a newspaper is for.

Also, they gained his permission before running it.

You’re gonna hoist 400 pounds several feet into the air? Can I watch?

Right. This is the recorder’s office and they blindly approved a facility that had ADA access to the building without ensuring there was ADA access to the stage itself. López’s office fucked up BIG TIME, which is why this is news.

Why they thought they’d “just lift” a 250-pound electric wheelchair containing a 150-pound man onto a stage that’s several feet high is beyond me. Clearly didn’t work and now the organizers have well-deserved egg on their faces for embarrassing a disabled man and breaking the law.

Dude would have been fined $124,000 for NOT getting up on stage.

Of course its a white woman that said it

Dr. Sylvia Phyllis. Syl for short. Dr. Syl Phyllis.

Or it's an understanding of power dynamics. But you do you.

Heard about Dr Malachi Love Robinson? Kid started posing as a doctor in his teens and did it multiple times, then finally it happened enough that someone connected the different incidents together. He finally got a regular job and is now behind bars for embezzlement
