Heartless Critics Mock Terminally Ill Texas Teen for His Make-a-Wish Request
Quote:Five months ago, Jeremiah Thomas was diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer.

The 16-year-old boy from Waco, Texas has since undergone a number of cancer treatments including chemotherapy and radiation. He has suffered a collapsed lung, and paralysis from the waist down. Living with cancer isn’t easy.

And as hard as he’s fighting, Jeremiah’s prognosis isn’t good. His cancer is terminal.

But the determined teenager isn’t spending any time feeling sorry for himself. When he was approached by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and asked what his dying wish might be, he surprised everyone with his answer.

Most teens opt for an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World, or for the opportunity to meet their favorite athlete or celebrity.

Jeremiah, on the other hand, wants to see abortion abolished in his home state of Texas.

Make-A-Wish was able to offer Jeremiah a meeting with pro-life Texas governor (and Republican) Greg Abbott. They have since become friends, and Jeremiah’s wish is now part of the Republican Party platform position in Texas.

As a result, liberals have taken to social media to taunt, insult, and bully the former all-star champion football player.

The Daily Signal recently reported that pro-abortion progressives have taken to trolling Jeremiah online. His mother, Kendra Thomas, quoted one such instance where her dying son was publicly accused of having “a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic [sic], hateful” agenda.

Another person said, “He’s garbage and is suffering as he deserves.”

The disturbing messages are reported to be appearing across various social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

“Cancer is giving your mom a late term abortion. Lmao,” reads one message.

Another mocks, “Jeremiah … You aren’t dead yet? God do your job!”

Even Jeremiah’s prayer group page isn’t safe. Someone leaving a one-star review on the closed Facebook group added the commentary, “Good riddance.”

These particular people who think this way are sick -- demented sick. They should be isolated from society. They should not be free.

Unfortunately, this demented behavior crosses all demarcations. This is not a left vs right issue or an issue confined to any other opposing demographics.


Too many human beings don't understand basic decency, empathy, compassion. These are the type of people who are a danger to society.

They should be treated as such and society should be protected from them.

We really did ourselves a disservice when we ended the widespread use of mental institutions.

There is gonna be a judgement.

One day, God is gonna "show up".

ADDENDUM:

Remember when Alan Colmes died, and his good friend Sean Hannity eulogized him ?

Now contrast.

When "people" do that, they are taking out a large withdrawal from the bank of bad karma - and the bill is gonna be due and must paid in full.

Stay classy lefties.....

Question.

Where are all the "hate speech" censors on social media for this?

Too busy banning Infowars to bother with REAL hate I guess.

People that have spent their lives living in an on line world have no filter. To me, that's why it's funny when one of the lefty protestors gets punched when running their mouth to someone face to face.

I grew up in the "if you're going to say it, you better be ready to back it up" day.

When Hogg is diagnosed with bone cancer, you can get back with us.

Excuse me sir, but I would greatly encourage you to re-examine things in your life.

It is NEVER good to wish ill upon a dying child.

You need to get right with the Man Upstairs before it is too late.

Lol what do you guys think EigenEagle was trying to say? Whoosh

Anybody who would go after a kid with cancer is the lowest of the low. What sad, miserable people.

Maybe it's my perspective but it seems like the left took the high road to a fault for many years trying to be better than their right wing counterparts but they sure have made up for it in recent years with their behavior. Maybe it's the keyboard anonymity but that is still pretty f'd up.

I can tell you from first hand experience that cancer doesn't care what political party you belong to.

I don't recall either side taking the high road ever, but attacking someone dying of cancer strikes me as a new low.

Not only can the left not meme, but apparently they can't draw equivalent comparisons either.
