I sence recently been experiencing lot of struggles emotionally in addition to the physical pain. My heart goes out for whose who are going through such difficulties. If it can break me, it can anybody. Be strong, you gotta live for yourself and your loved ones..God bless

    I have a bullet stuck in my spine after being shot in October 2015. I couldn't use my legs and had to teach myself how to walk again. (got some rehab in Medical College of Virginia) but was in a wheelchair for a year and forced myself to walk with a cane after several months of using a walker. I wish the best for you and God bless you.

    Keep your chin up. There's life after sci. I've been a para almost 22 years now from a car accident when I was 18. Mental fortitude is so key in this life. There's a ton of adaptive sports out there as well. Keep rockin. Transfers become easy. Just keep at it. ✌🏼👊🏼✌🏼

    OK, idiot, the 2nd Amend writers never thought shootings, mayhem, torture, murder, arson, rape, etc. were not crimes. The FIRST time you get assaulted and injured, I think you will be running to the nearest gun shop! It's just Human Nature! WE ALL (generally) want to survive, no matter what. You apparently don't. Good Luck with your dreams of equality.

With all the weapons out there it's clear the run and hide. Americans carry weapons for the offensive, and they clearly hope to use them on an unarmed opponent.
