A man autistic wears a military hat, gets alot of abuse {moderator removed} why?

Sophie2003 · June 4

So he is wearing the hat to honor someone in his family that died in military conflict.

He loves animals.

He is law abiding.

Its not always clear that he is autistic.

He is good looking.

Is this social justice in action? {removed by moderator}

Are they threatened by his hat and perhaps his perceived political stance?

Why is such a good vulnerable person such a target for hatred in the UK?

Is

I wear a military jacket because it has lots of pockets i make it clear im not about stolen valour i genuinely find it practical with so many pockets it helps me manage i even joked before that im less likely to get splashed by cars walking along a road (so what?). People judge people and make assumptions. A lot of people (normal) want to hate the on the same thing together or meet people with suspicion or jealousy and or want to make the glove fit, while a traumatised person biases a reaction to the world based on negative experiences etc Im guilty of sin of judging to see everything negatively.

I personally wouldn't be bothered by him wearing a hat good looking or not im not bothered. Iv met someone who was a bit of a fibber around this subject (i think anxiety caused him to lie and exaggerate) but when i was homeless he helped me with a cut on my foot and genuinely cared but me as human (it wasnt beneath him to help me wrap the cut), we have a bias to remember negative things but thank you for reminding me of that memory I only usually focus on the bad. Dont worry about the hat if they feel the need to confront him then let him tell them why. If they are offended then it is their problem. He has the right to wear what he wants just help him to prepare for what they might say to him.

If the military hat denotes a specific regiment then it is seen as fraudulent and disrespectful to 'pretend' that they were in the military. It is even illegal to wear uniform or badges that were owned by or awarded to someone else.

However, if it's just a generic camouflage type hat then I don't see any problem with it. Just bear in mind that many people are unhappy with the military action that is taking place across the world right now, and the sight of military clothing may be triggering them.

So another man he worked hard in education, he got himself a good job, hes rich so hes paying alot of tax to the public, and he donates to charities abroad more than alot of the people that attack him verbally in public

he also drive a flash car, wears the usual jumper shirt style that posh people do

he is attacked as if he is some kind of exploiter

Is it about threat rather than sense?

I use to be in the military and wear a berry sometimes, nothing wrong with it at all..Too many sad people with nothing better to do than spoil someone else's life unfortunately.

I didn't know that soldiers will sometimes wear berries, what kind are they? Blackberries? Redberries? Something else? I guess they symbolise something?
