The ADA is very powerful. Top that off with this period of extreme political correctness and you would be very hard pressed to find an attorney that would go up against a person with a diagnosed disability. If in fact this person has been diagnosed “disabled,” my deepest sympathies go out to all his neighbors because it will be very difficult, and costly, to stop behavior his lawyers would argue can’t be helped due to the nature of his disability. The police can put a temporary stop to criminal behavior but don’t expect a permanent change till parents, or guardians, intervene.

There are so many truly disabled people that have benefited greatly from the ADA but the few that abuse it ruin it for those that don’t. In my work I see abuse of the emotional support animal provision daily. One day things will swing too far the other way, they always do, and people in need will not get the help they deserve.
