Seen that ^.

Awful.

How that cop got away with it is beyond me.

Just goes to show how absolute power corrupts absolutely! Sickening.

...I....I....I...think this just has to be one of the most AMAZING videos I've seen in a long time.

^ Wow!  Something she won't be doing anymore...

Kinda harsh words there, Pa.

On the bright side (no pun intended) for her is that given how young she is and given the speed at which technological advancements are being made in the medical field, she at least has reason to hope that scientists and engineers are close to inventing some form of artificial sight for people like her.

Be it in the form of some type of glasses with miniature high res cameras that would work in conjunction with implants connected to the optic nerves, or possibly even artificial eyeballs which would go right into the sockets and work and look like real ones.

And of course, there's always the possibility of successfully transplanting actual real eyeballs, harvested from a deceased organ donor.

My point being, at least she has hope.

A friend of mine had an older brother (now deceased) who had the misfortune of being born prematurely back in the early 50's. The oxygen level in his incubator was set too high (a common occurrence back then) and it destroyed his optic nerves, rendering him 100% stone blind for his entire life without even a shred of hope that he might someday see.

So in that sense, she can possibly be described as "lucky".

And best of luck to her.

I'm getting kind of cranky, ol'Mule and I can appreciate you offering up a letter of hope for the young lass, but she isn't the first to f*&kup and I don't like 'Lemmings' or 'Imperfect Idiots' (people who never saw value in studying or learning from history). WebMD has written articles on 'Coping with Blindness' which it is hoped  someone will read to her. Obviously, she will join Support Groups which will help immensely while creating a foundation and 'safe house' for her remaining time. There are kind people such as YourBadOl'Self and as you correctly state, technology is on the very brink of 'Artificial Eyesight' and Stem Cell restoration of eyesight already has had success, starting back about eight (8) years ago.

If you look closely at her picture, it appears as though she's a bit on the hefty side.

Possibly even fat, if you will.

Seems like that would put somewhat of a damper on your appearance inspired tolerance.

So you like some junk in the trunk then, eh?

In really bad taste (and NSFCIH picture standards, being a very sexually-explicit cartoon, so you'll have to do the work copy'n-pasting the link if you want to see it.  Yeah, now you'll just have to look, right?  )
