Please excuse me while I vent. Stacy and I are part of a local Facebook group where people can share things that are going on in our community, ask for recommendations, ask for advice, etc. One of the members in the group posted a simple reminder:

 

A close‑up of a yellow school bus shows its extended red stop sign with two red lights. Bold text over the image emphasizes that when the stop sign is out and flashing, drivers must stop and must not go around the bus, stressing that student safety takes priority.

 

Then there was a comment that really pushed my buttons.

 

A screenshot of a Facebook comment thread shows an exchange that becomes hostile after someone makes an offensive joke about a child in a wheelchair. The first comment asks if a stop sign means to speed up. Another user replies that it isn’t funny. A third commenter makes a cruel remark about “points” for hitting a child in a wheelchair. The final comment from Jeff responds angrily, defending his child and calling out the offensive remark.

 

I realize he’s just a troll with a fake account and probably gets off by getting people like me upset with his comments. Most people would say to just ignore him, and that he’s not worth your time or energy. Sorry, but that is not the way that I’m wired.

 

A screenshot of a Facebook profile page for a user named “Andrew James.” The cover photo shows a bright blue sedan parked in a residential driveway. The profile picture features two cartoon‑style figures in suits, one holding a bottle, framed with stylized graphics and a small orange “WARNING” label. The profile tagline reads, “Oh you fucking with the wrong troll today 😂.” Below the header, several photos of cars appear, including red, white, and black vehicles, along with an image of a red car being refueled.

 

“Oh you fucking with the wrong troll today.” Guess what Andrew? You fucked with the wrong parent today. If you think you can hide behind your fake Facebook account ‘Andrew James’, you’d be wrong. Oh wait, it’s Andrew Hock, isn’t it? You may want to hide your tracks a little bit better. You see, there’s something you should know about my “wheel chair kid”. He has an army of supportive fans behind him. All we had to do was share your fake Facebook account with them and let them go to work. It didn’t take them long, either.

 

A screenshot of a Facebook profile page for a user named “Andrew Hock.” The cover photo shows two cars parked in a residential driveway: a blue Mazda RX‑8 and a black sedan in front of a garage. The profile picture features three people sitting together — two adults and a child. Below the name are options to add the person as a friend, send a message, or view more. The profile notes that he studied at McHenry County College. Several smaller photos appear underneath, including motorcycles, cars, and casual snapshots of people.

 

Two people stand indoors in front of a decorated Christmas tree with lights and ornaments. The person on the left wears a gray shirt with dark lettering and has their arm around the person beside them. The person on the right, whose face is blurred, has reddish‑brown hair, glasses, and a soft smile. The scene feels warm and relaxed, capturing a simple holiday moment together.

 

I was nice and filtered out your girl’s face but let this be a little warning for you. If I ever catch you making another comment about running over a kid in a wheelchair, or making fun of someone with a disability, I will knock your ass out. And I don’t care if I go to jail for it either. Maybe I’ll just plead temporary insanity. You see, special needs parents are stressed, and sleep deprived. So, you better believe that if you say anything about our kids, especially harming them, even though you may think you’re just having fun, we will fuck you up. Is that a threat? I guess that is for you to decide. Maybe it is, or maybe I’m just joking around in the same way that you think you were joking around by asking “how many points if you hit the wheel chair kid?” It would be a shame for you to wind up in a wheelchair. Hmm. Wouldn’t that be ironic?

Now, I am a reasonable guy, so I’ll make a deal with you. If you would like me to take this post off the internet, all you need to do is publicly apologize to everyone in the Facebook group where you left that comment. Since you seem to have multiple “Andrew James” fake profiles that you troll with, I’m guessing it will take you a while to figure out where you left that comment. Perhaps you should publicly apologize to every FB group where you left stupid, derogatory, and insulting comments. Once I see your apology, I will delete this post. Deal?
