Is it normal that i punched a mentally disabled person in the face?

Right, like you could have gone "Hi, before I punch you in the face for harrassing my sister, do you have a mental disability?"

You only wanted to protect your sister, and I think you did the right thing.

I have worked with mentally disabled people and I can tell you first off that it was the carers fault as that boy should not have been able to wander away from the group under any circumstances!! What if he had run onto the road and been hit by a car?!
Secondly you did what any normal person would have done to protect your sister, there is no way you could have known he was autistic, he could have been trying to sexually molest her or cause her great harm. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES YOU WERE FACED WITH. Sounds to me like the carer was trying to take blame off herself by allowing him to wander off. The police should have asked the carer how it was made possible for him to leave her sight. No one in their right mind would ask anyone if they have a disability before protecting their loved one. I would have done the exact same thing. Your sisters lucky you helped her. I say good job!

I would have done the same and I'm female. You were looking out for your sibling and quite frankly, if the carer knew that this guy she was looking after did things like that, she should of been doing her job properly.

She fucked up, not you.

he is probably treating people like how he is treated. mentally disabled people get sexually abused alot because their testimonies dont hold up in court.

You're an awesome brother! I agree that the nurse is to blame for the assault.

I have autism and even i think you did the right ting 1. You didnt know he was mentally disabled 2. You where protecting your sister.

You did nothing wrong, at all, period. Look at the overwhelming responses you are getting. You acted based on what your brain was doing in a split second whether you wanted it to or not - which was to protect your loved one.

The woman likely reacted the way she did because a lot of people treat mentally handicapped people horribly, and she has seen it over and over again. In her poor judgement, she likely convinced herself that this situation was another scenario of abuse, instead of one where abuse was stopped.

The cops and your boss likely reacted the way THEY did because they are frightened of the sensitive nature of the incident. Unfortunately, it's all about not looking like the insensitive bad guy. Ironically, this further propagates discrimination against mentally handicapped people in that it is discrimination in its own right.

Now that I've been all flowery with my words... time for my opinion! Yay! You're a hero and a badass brother. I wish I had one like you! Nobody should get to sexually assault your sister and you damn well should have slugged the guy, regardless. The woman who should have been watching her patient was a dipshit, and fuck the po-lice for getting all tangled in potential red tape in an effort to not look bad. Shallow.

I think your boss must have a mental dissorder if that was his reaction to you defending your sister when you had no idea they were mentally disabled.

Yeah, right thing. You should have destroyed him, however, and the bitch who gave you lip. Fuck her too.

Imagine this if you will: A mentally "slow" person in a wheel chair unable to speak going to school, so slow, they learn nothing. they are helped by teachers on tests by them writing the answers on the test sheet for them letting them pass highschool. At the end of all this, they don't even know what happened, they obviously can't go to college, can't get a job, can't even move out of there parents house. would you like to live that hell? that hell of stupidity, that hell of basically a waste of space and even if you try to reason all you want that's what that person is- a waste of life.......? In this case, if you know the kid would come out this "slow"....abort it. They won't become president, they won't contribute to the gene pool, and they certainly will NOT live a real life. It's the right thing to do even though how diabolical it sounds. Just to be coherent, I'm only speaking of severe cases, i know some cases where there are mildly mental adults teaching classes in middle, and high schools and there quite professional.

Thanks for the responses. It's good to know I did the right thing.

"A nurse then tells me he was autistic and wandered away from the group"

If she was in charge of him then SHE needs to keep aware of what he is doing.

Just because he's mentally handicapped does not mean girls have to stand there submissively while he grabs their tits.

Visualizing that made my day. Made my year even. Thats just fuckin awesome.

You did the right thing. Absolutely the right thing. It doesn't matter if he was autistic. If someone harasses a family member, it is COMPLETELY reasonable to sucker punch them.

I'm a very elderly man who is very physically disabled and if I dare attacked a girl or a woman for any reason. (Even if she hit me first) I would feel very bad about it, and wouldn't blame any guy who tried to punch me for dare doing it!

That autistic kid is a spoiled rotten little shit who has never been raised right, and has never been spanked by his parents when he needed it! or else he wouldn't dare treat women that way!

and if he ever did that to a woman back in MY DAYS!

he would have not only been charged for assault, he would also been put on the rack, flogged in public and banished from the whole country!

back in my days, men who dare raped or assaulted women were treated like chattel and they had no rights!

Women and wives were revered, taken care of and respected and any man who tried to assault them or even touch them was arrested and put to death!

handicapped men who assaulted women were also horse whipped by other men and they were also shot, maimed and beat up!

those police men, that boss and that fucking caregiver need to seek some fucking help! that handicapped autistic boy who attacked your sister should be arrested, flogged locked up and put in federal prison for the rest of his life! those police men should be reported to their superiors for what they dare said to you! that boss of yours who got mad at you for what you did should have his whole company shut down and should also face a lawsuit and that caregiver who got mad at you for hitting her handicapped boy friend should be fired and sent to a mental institution for acting like a little one sided freak!

read this..very very closely.
commit it to memory.

you-
are a human. with boundarys and rational and(hopefully) a proud member of our species that has endured so much hardship from all walks of life and situations

that guy-
is an out of control mentally disabled person who we are made to waste our tax dollars on, giving a solitary and miserable addicted and murky life to someone who couldn't make it out of bed on his own. I mean a little uniqueness, a little stranegeness is okay, were all god children and if your born with four arms, two heads, conjointed and your ok with it, cool!

you-

you are not part of the borg. you are not part of the hive, you are not someones thing be pushed around or some retards property that they can yell at/touch/ take from at any given time. you are not some fugitive from the cops who should all be hanged anyway for beating old womens heads into the cement, their ''accidental'' shooting sprees that leave some poor mothers child dead and they get paid vacation- some creepy lunatic groped your sister and you punched a person who was not born with all the wiring straight in his head. is that YOUR fault? NOO. yet somehow some genius lady who has decided to devote her entire life to the deformed now thinks and expects everyone to think that they are more important, SO much more important than you or your needs or situation retards can do whatever they want.

wrong.

..but since were an addictive race, and the borg-bits are infectious but not untreatable, you probably do feel some confusing guilt over something that you know in your head is in fact, not your fault. am I right? you should train yourself to let go of these feelings because they aren't healthy- they are the borgs cerebral commands and you have to unhook yourself from them or people walk all over you

that guy-
is defended and looked after a little too much of his adult life by a gnarled person.
an odious, redneck rotten wench or fat balding guy, all of which who think they know they world but in actuality by the age of 30, are stupider than the people they look after(and if they aren't graying, bent and twisted yet, trust me. they WILL be sooner or later)
lets not think for a second that because hes rogue inside the brain that this creepy foul smelling guy can run up and grab the breasts of whoever he wants, or that this haggle mouth lady has the right to pretend what just happened is somehow your fault(he cant, and its not)
lets forget all that in fact-

he..
GRABBED
your sisters
TITS.
not lightly-
FIRMLY GRABBED them like this-''hey, see my chest??this is MY chest!!!HAH!''

he did that. did it with a smile, so that when out of all these other people plugged into the matrix and addicted to whatever out of their minds in their feeble lives one person rushed and punched someone who needed to be chained down while he ate, some black toothed crone opened her decaying mouth and the pigs were called-
showing that the others thought exactly what she was saying was right because twisted thought processes like..THAT are infectious, dangerously and needing a great deal of quarantine.

do you know what anyone deserves regardless who runs up and grabs your sister?
they need punching or at minimum a good push away that sends them spinning.
I didn't do this when a big demented gorilla attempted close to the same thing years ago. I regret not spitting in his face/backhanding him/SOMETHING each, and every waking day. you should feel proud you have the will power to take action, NOT feel wrong because some hag is logically being flushed in the toilet u-bend as of her own personal choice

you-

I don't know why you or her didn't speak up more and tell that cop-''..hey I don't think you heard me asshole.
that guy-grabbed, my-sis-ter. it was not the punch- THAT DOES THAT! do you know what im gonna do now?? people get arrested for less when it comes to touching girls at school- im SUEING him for sexual harassment and abuse! or that old lady! its ONE of their faults! would you like it If I ran to your house now and grabbed your WIFES body?? that's what I thought.''

but you should have.

either that or split because people like him and her are dangerous.

id recommend looking out for that guy, getting his name, his address, sueing him or his wretched caretaker slave-lady because shes supposed to keep him from doing this stuff which she DIDNT.
that's a fact.
your sister is now traumatized for the time being for life-go after that guy for damaging sexual abuse,
because what you did was self defense when nobody did anything to protect your sister from harm , and you had to do it. you HAD to knock him away and at the very least leave him with a stinging memory NOT to do that EVER!!! again. its for his own health and benefit besides.
do you have any idea what bigger, MEANER people would do to him? they likely would have broke something of his after repeated kicks punches and bone crunching blows.

the longer you wait on doing this-
the worse it becomes.
I KNOW. trust me, ive known my whole life.

Wasn't your fault mate to be honest you did the right thing in that awkward moment, by the way I have mild autism and if I did anything like that then got punched in the face I wouldn't do it again... which is a good thing LOL u taught him a life lesson :D

who gives a shit if this guy has autism. If some dude grabs and starts groping my sister I'm going to beat the hell out of him. Fuck what his handler and the cops say. He molested your sister and it's still sexual abuse. What would the cops have said if he had raped her? He's clearly dangerous and if they can't manage to keep him on a short leash he should be locked up.

what if you hadn't helped your sister? Surely that experience would mess her up more than being punched messed the disabled guy up?

Simple answer, no you did nothing wrong, here is how you can test this morally in your head. go back to that moment in time. in this scenario you know the kid is handicapped how do you act different. and here is what i suspect. you do not. yes he might be at a mental disadvantage but. fact of the matter is, he sexually assaulted your sister. you are a good brother and had every right to do that and more.

Disclaimer: i do not hate the handicapped i do not condone violence against them.

of course it's normal. If someone starts grabbing someone u care about it's a natural reaction. If that weirdo is that sick then he shouldn't be in public places. Hope you hit him hard. Probably won't do it again...

I am sorry this happened to you and your sister. It is the caregivers fault that the young man got away from the group. And i think some of the above comments are not relative to what happened to you. You were just acting on instincts. I probably would have reacted the same way.

will you should do that to him. it is you way of self defence. just be happy that guy is gone.

Lufa, do you have a physical or genetic disease yourself?

Maybe we should abort judgmental people with attitudes and beliefs such as yourself. Then maybe the world wouldn't be full of hatred and discrimination. You really can't be serious?!? This is about someone whose sister was attacked and is suffering trauma from it and the OP was asking if he did the right thing. What have the japs and nazis (in your words) got to do with any of this? I suggest you post your own question and let the OP get comments that actually would be of help to him

hey dude, i wouldnt worry about it man how were you to know? not being funny but its sort of a case of discrimination just because he is autistic does not give him the excuse to get away with sexually assaulting your sister if anything it should of been him in trouble with the police...

You were in protective mode and did it on impulse, it's normal and not a bad thing. It's good that you stood up for her.

You were being a great brother. You did absolutely nothing wrong at all. Those other people who intervened have the problems. They should have been watching their group properly.

You had no idea that he was autistic. You're first instinct was to protect your sister, and I think that's awesome. You didn't do anything wrong, man.

Punch that m f'er in the face!! If someone is doing what he did to your sister, you don't have time to play 20 questions. You did the right thing.

Well its not your fault you didnt know he suffered from mental illnes but if you knew then no you shouldnt

Who says shiverlry is dead. Honour Honour! For princess and country!

You may think I'm being sarcastic, well im not. It is never wrong to defend a woman's Honour.

Listen to me very carefully: You did absolutely NOTHING wrong. I would've done the exact same thing, and I would not be sorry in the slightest.

REGARDLESS of whether or not the guy was a retard, he's lucky you didn't break his f***ing arms. I can imagine that I very well might have.

Just admit it and come clean already, you made up the part about what happened to your sister and you just wanted to punch a retard in the face. I admit it is tempting, especially when you see them running around yelling and throwing things.

But still its not right.
