New twist on disabled parking abuse...

Unbelievable! They were in the wrong but end up giving a fine to the lady that captured their wrongdoing? What a joke

I live in a small community, so handicap accessibility is minimal at best. I get irked, when the ONE handicap spot at the store is taken by someone who is ambulatory. Then, more often than not, I have to park far away, as I need full door extension to get out and don't want to risk dinging another car as that would be rude! I watch to see who is in the handicap spot, and sadly, did you know, that you can get a tag if you are mental? So here are people fully physically capable, parking there because "they can". I know of two different people in my community, one with PTSD and the other with a mental disorder who were given handicap license plates and they abuse the system. The WALK out of the store, get in their "wonderful" parking spot, as I am wheeling my way across the lot...

To Kilg....Why do you think the police "Should have shot the lady in the head"? Seems a bit extreme....Elaborate?

they wonder why people have no respect for the law. I also blame our parking abuse on Doctors. They hand out placarads like candy. It seems anyone who is fat and overweight can get a placard. I get in pissing matches all the time with overweight people parking in handicap spots. I tell them loose some weight and they will not have to take the spot for a real handicap person. The sci community is looked upon as we are fine seating in chairs. If we look good then we must be fine and have no problems. I even had a guy once tell me we had it made sitting on our ass in a chair. Some people just don't get it. Every able bodied person needs to be in a chair for one week . We will then have a cure.

I get a little nuts sometimes about placards and who should have them. I don't mean to knock overweight people but it just seems if someone is really heavy they automatically get one. Today I seen a guys at sams club, had to be 80 years old with a cane. He parked really far away and hobbled into the store. I really give a guy like that credit. Then I get the guy who jumps out of his beefed up pickup truck and jumps on a scooter to wheel around the store. Its just a game to able bodied people. This is the only thing about Sci that ticks me off and its no respect for the really disabled person. Not just sci but many disabilities that get abused by people. I don't know if it will ever change. Best to all. It's time for a few drinks.
