DALLAS — Nearly 270 employees were fired or suspended for abusing or neglecting residents of large, state-run institutions for the mentally disabled in Texas, according to records obtained by the Associated Press.

I hope these scumbags spend quite a bit of time in jail and getting some of that same abuse! They don't deserve to be called human beings for preying on the mentally and physically handicapped.
Unfortunately, there are still quite a few people who treat the disabled as less than human.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Hopefully, those who were abusive will be convicted of a violent crime and have to go to a high security prison with violent offenders. Maybe then they'll learn a thing or two about being abused.
