Redbox DVD rental, being sued by blind people.

[solid]

Only in America. Why the heck do blind people need access to DVD's? Figure that one out, and you get a cookie. Hopefully Redbox tells them to stuff it.

“I love watching movies with my husband and son and would like to independently rent movies for my family at Redboxes,” said Lisamaria Martinez, who is legally blind

My brother is legally blind. I don't know if he rents movies from Redbox, but he is a first person shooter video game addict. He can't drive a car, but he does commute to his job in downtown Seattle by bike. He hasn't known life any other way and does whatever it takes, like the rest of us.

On the other hand, there are scumbags who make their living going around to businesses, measuring countertops and such for ADA compliance.

One fighter in a burgeoning army of crusaders for disabled access, Mundy says he has filed more than 150 lawsuits in 18 months demanding damages from small businesses in violation of the exacting requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Disabilities are sad and unfortunate for many. For them to use this as leverage to slam businesses is injury cast upon others as if that injury would make the disabled un-disabled. There is no righteousness in this damned world.

If I am unable to walk, why should I have the power to force a small business to make a wheeled trail when all they want is a walking trail? If I am blind, how can I have the leverage over others to force them to make things visible for me. We see the devil using one side against the other to create chaos and stir up hate.

I have come to accept that some people are disabled and it is good that they are. Some of them might have been serial murderers.... or banksters.
