You might be interested to learn more about the human rights actions the org is known for, instead of spreading propaganda against a disabled person... 😅🤢🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm aware of all the good things the Temple does. I just thought it was humorous that series of events for one man.

Fair. Sorry about that, then. I admit, his life challenges resonate with me in many ways, so I clicked through to comment a little hot, maybe. 🤘🏻

No worries. I figured anyone that cared enough to defend the Temple and a disabled person had good intentions. I was just struck by how absurd the article was, and I will always laugh at a hog named Chief Wiggum. Apologies if I came off as insensitive. That was never my intent.

On one hand, my brain says "If you don't say something for them, who will?", but on the other, there are still people like you, too. Many of them, in fact, and that's a wonderful thing. 🤓

Most days, I have to remind myself that there is still good in this world, and genuinely decent people out there, just trying their level best to get through it all —alongside their neighbors & fellow poors.

Thank you for the kind reminder, internet stranger. 🙇🏽‍♂️🤘🏻❤️‍🔥
