This might be one of the most appalling and depressing things I've read in a long time. How did we get here as a society? The frequent moral panics, like stranger danger and the satanic panic, whipped up by the media?

With OP being disabled, there might be an element that "movies say the ugly and disabled are the villain, and this guy looks like a movie villain". Gross and disgusting, but it is what it is.

Well, after the Cold War was over, some people needed a new boogeyman. So they chose literally everyone who doesn't think or look exactly like them, and then tried to get their kids to do the same. And now, here we are.
