I’m neurodivergent, too. I know what you’re talking about. I’ve seen how people get treated in hospitals and psych wards. I’ve seen some really nasty behavior from other paramedics. We’re sadly not a bunch of paladins; we’ve got a lot of washed up cop wannabes in our ranks for starters. There’s a lot to unpack here, and it’s deserving of criticism, but I don’t think I agree that’s what happened to Elijah.
I’m specifically referring to the paramedics here. As I recall, they were both convicted. Are you talking about the cops, or the non-medical firefighters that were also present?
both of them got probation which is just a sick joke. if it were a Black man killing cops or paramedics he probably would’ve gotten a life sentence, if he survived the encounter

obviously the main factor was cops and paramedics being racist against Black people but Black Neurodivergent people have way higher murder rates.
I don’t wish my initial comment to be interpreted wrong, people were rightly furious that a Black man was lynched.
I disagree with your initial statement that the lynchers were brought to justice as 2 of them escaped conviction

Oh, crap, I thought they got jail time
