When I was 12 I was severely burned in a housefire. Only 10 percent of my body was untouched. The only reason I am alive today is because of a handful of extraordinary doctors. I moved awhile ago and eventhough most people just stare or look out of the cornere of their eyes, I had an experience several days back that I still am so angry about. This man kept following me, snapping photos and making gagging noises. I told him to stop taking my photo but he just smirked. No one did anything. I made my purchases, drove home and just sobbed like a baby. I am not a confrontational person. But god how I kick myself for not saying anything
( ... )
I can't believe it either. In all my years since after the fire I have never faced cruelty such as that. Even as a child. I sincerely hope that man has no children.
This community is amazing. I'm more than a bit embarassed to have written this prompt--even if I'm anon--but the support is wonderful.

God, people like that make me furious. I'm sorry that happened.
I hope you get a fill. John is a very quiet character generally, and I find it interesting to see him in situations where he's unable/unwilling to speak up, even though it can be agonizing when he's getting hurt.
I'm not a confrontational person at all. But I was, and still am, so stunned by how horrific he was. While I assume John might punch someone like that, I'd like to see him speechless and just flattened(?).
wow, some people are disgusting... I promise you, if I ever witness something like this I'll say something. I might be guilty of looking at someone who is visibly scarred, but not in disgust, more because I wonder what happened to them. But there is no excuse at all for the behaviour or this person, none at all. *hugs*

What a first class asshole!! Forget about not saying anything - that guy deserved a kick in his measly balls, preferably executed by a professional footballer! It's totally in your right to be angry over that situation.
Therefore: Hell YEAH, seconding this! Let some asses be kicked and then have Sherlock take care of John...

BEAT HIM WITH STICKS!
I really have a hard time imagining people behaving this utterly horrific IRL...but then apparently people have been pointing&staring at me lately, according to my roommate, and I haven't even noticed 0.0 (I'm doing chemo and have to wear a mask when I go out, and she says it's worse when I forget my hair.) I have this burning urge to find that fellow and verbally flay him for you. Or maybe hit him with my boken a few times.
...instead I'll just beat at this mush passing for my brain lately and see if the pieces of fic drifting around in here can jell enough to write something for you.

John felt sick. It was one thing to harass him for his scars, but this...he tipped over the edge from rage into hurt with a quickness that almost made him gasp. Mid-stride, Sherlock stopped. The gray eyes narrowed very slightly, looking at John's face, and then over John's shoulder at the abuser. Flick, flick, flick went the eyes, and Sherlock's expression was very cold indeed. "I see. I was wondering..." Sherlock mused quietly
