We've got a story here and, on one hand, it's a hell of a statement that disabled people can do anything if they put their mind to it. On the other hand, well . . .
There's a 23-year-old guy named Rory O'Connor in Cardiff, Wales. He was born without arms. And he was just in court facing charges for . . . STABBING his dad.
They had an argument back in November, and it got physical. Rory's dad apparently poked him with a vacuum cleaner tube, and Rory responding by picking up scissors between his toes and stabbing his dad in the stomach.
His dad needed major surgery, but still defended his son in court. He said his son has had a hard life, you know, with not having arms and all . . . and he didn't want the incident to ruin his son's life.
The judge must have been sympathetic, because he sentenced Rory to 12 months of community service and rehab.
