I was downtown waiting for the bus when two young spanish speaking
girls walked by...out of nowhere this older guy in a wheelchair yelled,"GO BACK HOME!"...I couldn't believe my ears. One of the girls stopped turned about, and told the guy that WERE home.

I haven't been on the streets much since things have gotten heated up, maybe this was just an isolated incident. (A lot disabled people got their checks today and there were a lot of drunk folks out there).

1. Did they seem overly shocked?
I'm guessing no.

2. Nope!
I would have gone over there and cussed him out..but they just threw their noses in the air after their comment and walked off. They were probably about 16-18.

3. Was he white? Maybe he had just seen Hill Street Blues and thought he was being cool.
He thought he was saying "You go, Holmes."
