I'm a paraplegic for my whole life 34 years a due to a neurological condition. I used to be as tough as you can imagine but life socks sometimes. 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.

[@claus1225]

[@OlekW]

In Poland we haven't problems with shooting because a firearm is forbidden.

[@lancypinto6350]

in Poland you are majority catholic and know what love, suffering and spirituality is! your country is consecrated to Immaculate Mother Mary! your generation is blessed to be in Poland.

[@lancypinto6350]

@@OlekW what one sows so shall he/she reap. do not worry God loves you, watches you and awaits you! byw i have travelled to many countries including Poland. i believe Black Madonna is protecting Poland from calamities.

[@OlekW]

@@lancypinto6350 If God loves me why I'm disabled. Stupid talks. Do You now that two days ago died 8 months old child of my catholic friend. Physics is my passion, not magic. I believe of science as logical explanation of everything, Darvin and I believe in myself. For give me and don't waste my time. I have enough hypocrities in black dresses and idiots who believe them in Poland. Religiosity goes hand in hand with stupidity.

[@ellenrichardson8701]

@@OlekW When you meet God you tell him face to face dude. I've lost 5 babies for different reasons, have 2 remaining and 3 grandkids. My life has not been easy growing up, lot of abuse and all. Nobody on the face of this earth has gotten away easy in life nobody. You just have to have blind faith in Jesus. It is your choice to believe or not. Reading the bible might help with alot of your questions. Good luck man!

[@OlekW]

@@ellenrichardson8701 What is this a God? Do You now somebody who meet a God and tol You it? What if We never meet this God? Which God is this real from 200 000 years if mankind has so many gods? What is Your education, that you think you can teach me? For me, believers do not think rationally, they are very limited by this. I do not like organics, I am guided by knowledge and logic, and faith denies knowledge and logic. Try to be happy and have a nice day after Your tragedy. I didn't lost a baby, I have two lovely doughters but I cannot imagine Your tragedy. You are really poor, I'm so sorry.

[@syngensmyth4587]

It's sad but whoever fired the gun was just asserting their 2nd amendment rights eh.

[@Arthur172B]

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.

[@syngensmyth4587]

@@Arthur172B People are NOT carrying guns for self defense, period. I could count on one had the number of times an armed citizen has fought back at an active shooter incident. 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.
