Two things immediately came to mind:

- history of mental illness (meds history, hospitalizations, diagnosis, etc.)
- criminal history

Reminded me of the movie Misery.

It's horrendous what happened to this man. Even more horrendous that she stayed there for hours (he was essentially trapped there, at her mercy, and suffering horribly.

There's something terribly wrong with this picture, and scary.

Both of what i mentioned above needs to be investigated, if it hasn't already. I did not see that it was, unless i missed something.

I can't believe that someone would beat another person, much less a disabled one, all because they don't believe in the same thing that they do. Christians should know better than that.

Why? It's not as though he's a Christian, or someone who deserves some kind of respect.

Maybe it isn't about WHAT he said, but the WAY he said it.
Perhaps he was being a cheeky monkey.
Sometimes Christians are. God forbid there be a disrespectful atheist. ;)
Are you seriously blaming the victim here?

I think we all agree that disrespectful atheists should be beaten within an inch of their lives with a metal rod. Heck, even if they're not disrespectful. Otherwise, they will just never learn how much Jesus loves them.

How dare he use words in a manner that someone doesn't agree with?! Burn him. Preferably at a stake.

Spare the rod, spoil the atheist.

Agreed.

Also, that the cane allegedly broke from the force of her hitting him.

Such an awful human being.

I'm basically assuming it has to be a tin pot light weight grocery store hollow 'metal' cane that I can bend up with my hands fairly easily. An actual solid piece of heavy metal to the head that broke/got bent from the impact would move this into 'murder' territory.

I don't think what this woman did represents Christianity in any way, or Christians in general.

Atheists, Muslims, Buddhists and heck, even Satanists, just about any group of humans wouldn't do what this person did to a defenseless person in her care.

Well, actually, one of the commandments of satanism calls for the destruction of anyone who annoys you and doesn't stop after a warning.

I'll go one step further and say that she would've beat the crap out of him whether he believed in God or not.
