56. For the 3rd time, I addressed the substance separately. My point about the curb being blue excuse

is that progressives have no business excusing discriminatory behavior because those in charge of signage screwed up. If there is a handicapped parking sign that is too low, or the curb is not blue, etc. as long as you can tell the intent is that the parking space is reserved for people with disabilities, if you don't have have a disability - stay out of the parking spot. Period.

Where the van was parked, in this instance, whether it was parked or merely picking up, who parked it, etc. is not what I was primarily addressing (although I did add a note at the end to ward of response like yours & the previous one).

I don't care about the details of this particular incident. I do care about suggesting that parking in a handicapped parking space is ok because it wasn't properly marked.

So it is ok to park in a spot clearly intended to be used by people with disablities Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #33

it isn't a mercuryblues Apr 2015 #37

I was addressing the "it's ok - the curb wasn't blue" excuse Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #40

It might not be a handicapped spot treestar Apr 2015 #50

For the 3rd time, I addressed the substance separately. My point about the curb being blue excuse Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #56

I don't think the person suggested that treestar Apr 2015 #60

"On top of that the curb is not painted blue designating it as a handicap space. " Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #62

After further consideration, there appears to be a wide open space right next to the handicapped parking spot. Why didn't Hillary just move it 10 feet further up the street? InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #38

That's the bad optics piece of it. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #41

Yes, she needs to be a lot more careful, especially when appearing out in public. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #43

Could it be a one-way street? KamaAina Apr 2015 #55

Must be. treestar Apr 2015 #59

Is that an arrow pointing left (i.e. away from the BACK of the van) on that handicapped sign? MADem Apr 2015 #52

Yes, there might be a driveway there treestar Apr 2015 #61
