Dick in a wheelchair, pt. 3
The plot, as they say, thickens. Dick was driving under the influence. And clearly he has no qualms about the ol' hit'n'run.
My instinctive reaction to the sight of a wheelchair user is to assume him or her to be the innocent victim of nature or circumstance, deserving of sympathy. However, further consideration introduces the possibility that he is instead a victim of his own irresponsible and public-endangering behavior. In other words, maybe he's in a wheelchair because he's a Dick, and he continues to be a Dick, both nominally and behaviorally.
