Florida man convicted of manslaughter in parking lot shooting of black man

[Cleck]

Dont start arguments over stupid shit when you're carrying. I also hate it when lazy ass dead beats park in the handicapped spots, but I'm not starting an altercation over it, especially when I'm armed.

This! I was talking about it w/ the wife and I had to make clear to her, "Well, let's remember that I'm not even in a conversation w/ this guy if I'm carrying. You know I'm not gonna start something while I'm carrying, that's dumb."

I hate people sitting in the handicap spot too, I see it all the time at my daughter's dance studio. I've actually seen handicap people have to park farther away because of inconsiderate fucks like that.

Doesn't matter what the guy said while he was walking away, he was walking away. Scared old man could have gotten up and fled at that point. Dude turned to walk away, the guy basically shot a man in the back (I know it hit him in the side), and that's partly why he's going bye bye now.

I DON'T CARE WHO DID WHAT.

What I do know is there are too many ASSHOLES who believe they are the HANDICAPPED-SPOT POLICE.

Plenty of people hold placards, with legitimate issues, that don't appear handicapped.

If a person is not displaying their placard, or you question it, just call the Police - and get on with your own business.

BTW, I'm the guy who used to maintain if you're on a WHEELCHAIR, why not just roll an extra hundred feet ? And I'm not sure I'm wrong about that. But if you're literally shuffling along, with every step another jolt of pain, you deserve a close spot.

I agree 100% and despise the ADA and laws requiring the .

"Treat us as equal...until its inconvenient." Fuck you.

If you are going to paint with this broad of a brush... you should probably just use a roller.

A family member of mine has temp handicap tag for when she needs to go to the doctor's, etc., by herself. Generally wherever she goes if she feels well enough she will *not* take the handicap spot if she doesn't have to- particularly if theres only one available.

When we go places together, usually I will drop her off by the entrance and park normally, and pick her up on the way out.

Not everyone is a douche.

We've not even discussed the spaces some stores reserve for:

Pregnant Women
Pregnant Women w Children
Veterans
etc.

And as you can see, not all are bad ideas.

But they do all serve to DIVIDE us into Tribes.

I honestly wonder how long before there are spots for BLACKS ONLY, WHITES ONLY (never), HISPANICS ONLY, etc.

Oh come on now, that's a bigger leap than Neil Armstrong's!

Sur , if a business wants to provide an optional few, no problem. But if they don't get followed, oh well.

The entitlement of some...most? Placard users is astonishing.

You say that, and I'd like to be secure that fairness would dictate that would never happen.

But I could name dozens of outrageous transformations that have become the American Norm already.

And WHITES ONLY certainly has Historical Precedent. If that can happen (and it did), anything can.

Neil didn't really "leap", did he? He kinda just... let go.

They already have "blacks only" dorms and events at some colleges.

It's not a prediction that *might* come to pass, it's a reality that already exists.

I’m talking about in regards to parking spots due to the mindset we are discussing. This isn’t an antagonistic situation. It’s a grand leap to go suggest that a courtesy Veterans parking spot is the start of a slippery slope to “Blacks Only!”

Come on.
