An angry neighbor left this note on a disabled veteran's car...not realizing he was disabled. This was the vet's response.

I don't park in handicap spaces unless I have to. I have a hard time walking long distances sometimes and now I'm having dizzy feelings. I did park in a handicap spot at a drive in stop and rob one time. An off duty city cop pulled in beside me with his kid. As I was getting out of my truck, the cop smarted off and told me I better have a limp. I sad, "Hey dumb shit for brains, look at my license plate." I walked off and went in the store. We both came out at the same time. We didn't look at each other and he didn't apologize or thank me for my service. I told him thank you for your service, but he ignored me. I think he was showing off for his kid, or else he was being a dumb shit for brains. Lol

My grandfather had similar problems with people mouthing off about his not having a mirror placard but he had the plates, one woman screamed at him due to him parking in the space she wanted (she was able to park a couple spots down) an dhow low lifes like him shouldn't have driver licenses... and that's the nice things she said my daughter told me as they left the area because my grandfather did not want to cause a scene because she was with him, she heard the woman say "f***ing terrorists" under her breath just loud enough for them to hear, my grandfather still just took my daughter in the store and bought her a cookie! My grandfather is a vet of the Korean war, worked for years as an electrician until his heart gave out, found out he has bad lungs due to asbestos and could barely walk across the house towards the end let alone across the parking lot or store! Oh and as for the terrorist comment my daughter wears hijab because we are muslim but my grand parents parents and the majority of the rest of my family are various branches of Christianity. Still, no one has the right to judge another based on "appearance" and most of the men of the older generations and military have more class and know when to walk away from conflict when there really isn't a need for one!

I had to go pick up some material for my current job and the business establishment I pulled up to had a HUGE purple and gold parking spot that said "Combat wounded only!" It was very awesome and well done. I don't think anyone could park there under false pretense unless they were a sociopath. I've seen tons of people abuse Handicapped spots but I don't think anyone is gonna fuck with that spot.

Sgt Jason Hughes - You would be surprised at what people pull down here...or maybe you wouldn't.

The person was not identified as an off-duty police officer. His handwriting is very bad, but he said he was reporting the license plate to the "courtesy officer." Apartment complexes have courtesy officers, residents at the complex who field complaints from other residents. Jerri Nielsen -

That's kind of funny, I had a guy bitch at me for parking in a handicap parking spot without a placard. I asked him if he took the time to look at my "handicap" license plate. The look at his face was priceless. I just smiled and told him to have a nice day. By the way, I was still in my vehicle when he confronted me. When I saw him in the store, he wouldn't look at me in my wheelchair. I guess you could look at this as a positive, they are out there looking to make sure we have those spots to park in.
