Here is a link to a report that explains more about what was going on.

Hope people will stop being outraged for the wrong reason. This guy has been making threats and was in jail earlier this year for menacing. He was given an appropriate sentence.

CBS News at their worst by completely twisting the story.

You think there should be no consequences for menacing a child? freshwest Aug 2013 #15

Mocking a child, ohheckyeah Aug 2013 #17

I don't want a man with contempt for those with disabilities working with people with disabilities. backscatter712 Aug 2013 #22

or he might just benefit from actually being around people with handicaps SoCalDem Aug 2013 #24

This miserable bully should not be near anyone with disabilities! vankuria Aug 2013 #43

sometimes people commit suicide because others make fun of them. liberal_at_heart Aug 2013 #26

OK. Say DUers mocked a teabagger with a stupid sign, and he killed himself as a result. Nye Bevan Aug 2013 #28
