Recently I tried to tell you that we had an encounter at Quick Check where an unknown individual made a comment perceived as discriminatory towards me and my brother, Dale. The individual allegedly stated, "Stranger danger especially with people like this," implying a threat based on me and Dale's appearance but we are just disabled people with speech impediments. The person who said that stuff was an average customer.
