Passive-aggressive blogging is the new passive-aggressive note-leaving. The crutches-bound blogger behind the People Who Sit In The Disability Seats When I’m Standing On My Crutches website documents able-bodied straphangers who won't give up their seat for the disabled. He says he doesn't take pictures of anyone "if there's an open seat within sight. I also don't take pictures of elderly people, visibly pregnant women, or anyone who looks like they might have a disability." But even those getting some subway shut-eye could land on the site. Do you get up from your seat if someone clearly needs it? Seems not everyone pays attention to the “Stand Up for People with Disabilities” campaign.

A Queens man is being monitored at Bellevue Hospital after confessing to murdering his 80-year-old mother with a crutch. Police found the crutch along with a bloody knife after receiving a call from Sergeui Mamontov, who uses the crutch because he only has one leg. Mamontov, who has a history of mental illness also tried to castrate himself, telling police he was "trying to remove the evil." Lyudmila Mamontova lived in the same Far Rockaway building as Mamontov, who a neighbor describes as "a caring son." When police arrived, he told them, "I just killed my mother and I don't know why." Neighbors say that his condition had worsened recently and that he had begun "talking Bible talk." Momontov lost his leg in a freak accident after being struck by a car and had a home attendant until three months ago when his workman's comp ran out.
