One generally assumes that an ambulance with its lights flashing can park wherever it pleases. This past weekend in New Orleans, a parked ambulance was "booted" by a convenience store employee, who was apparently annoyed that the ambulance had parked in his store's lot. Never mind that the paramedics were treating a man inside the store. That employee has since been fired.
According to a report from WWLTV.com, the paramedics put the patient in the back of the ambulance and began to drive away when the vehicle came to a sudden stop. The medics saw that someone had put a boot on their vehicle. When a store employee finally removed the boot, the tire was flat. The paramedics had to call for backup while the man with chest pains waited in the back.
Jeb Tate, spokesman for New Orleans Emergency Medical Services, said, "We actually had to delay that patient's care by calling another ambulance out here to come transport this patient."
Now, a few days later, WWLTV.com reports that the convenience store employee has been fired and issued a citation by the New Orleans Police Department for simple criminal damage to property. According to the police report, the man, Ahmed Sidi Aleywa, claimed that he didn't know that the vehicle was an ambulance and that he doesn't speak English.

BS!! He knew that in all likelihood the ambulance wasn't in the process of saving a muslim's life at that moment and that, therefore, it was a good opportunity to kill an infidel in an underhanded and cowardly way, their favorite way to kill a non-muslims. So boot the ambulance. Delay it for a bit, and maybe, with any luck, an infidel would die.
Mohammedan filth SHOULD NOT even be in this country. Not for any reason and not for any length of time. None of them. Not one. Zero. Period.
There is a difference between a guy who is annoyed that an ambulance is parked in front of a store with the lights flashing as they are attending to an emergency situation in said store, and a drug dealer illegally trespassing on your property.
was this a house?
I thought it was a store (public accomodation, remember we keep losing these court cases?) and a store employee (not the property owner)
The clerk was not the owner, and was not acting at the direction of the owner- hence the firing. There should be some due process here.
I can imagine the pizza delivery guy dreads your house, he might not have a car when he was done giving you change. lol
“Apperently, he don’t think to good neither.”
That’s what happens to your brain after your “forbearers” had sex with their first cousins for eight or ten centuries. There is a recent study out that says that the Muzzies have decimated their IQ’s with their intermarriage BS. Then again, maybe it has to do with sleeping with their favorite goat.
There is most certainly a difference. That's why I stated that the convenience store clerk acted stupidly: He should have recognized that it was an ambulance. But that doesn't change the fact that the "Castle Doctrine" also applies to places of business, and that the clerk was probably charged by his employers with the task of attending to order in the parking lot (I doubt that he "boots" falsely parked vehicles just for giggles).
Further, my point is that one usually doesn't know in advance whether a strange vehicle - perhaps parked improperly - belongs to a law-abiding citizen, a drug-dealer, or, e.g., a cop on a stake-out. If I wake up some morning to see a strange van parked, e.g., in my driveway, I am not obligated to investigate in order to find out that it maybe belongs to some harmless old geezer who was suffering shortness of breath and so called for someone to pick him up and take him home, thus leaving his vehicle abandoned. I am entitled to "deal with" it myself. I am not required to wait for law-enforcement officials to come to my aid.

No sir ... if someone illegally parks in your drive way ... you call the cops and they have it towed ... you do NOT have the right to confiscate other peoples property even on your own. If someone was involved in an accident an winds up on your lawn you DO NOT have the right to confiscate that vehicle.

Even if the ambulance crew had simply stopped in for a snack, I'd think this dude should have had some common sense to not boot ANY vehicle. Not like an ambulance with lights flashing would be there very long in any case.
Did this guy just have a jonesing to boot a vehicle at the drop of a hat? Does he keep a boot behind the counter "just in case" he needs one at a moment's notice?
He won't get that either if he was terminated for cause.
No, but it would help to know the meatwagons here don't have a red crescent on them. Probably saw a red cross and figured it was a chance to mess with some infidel...
Sometimes “DUH” is just not enough
Well said. That crap was getting annoying:)
Apparently to drag it down into the same sh*thole he crawled out of. I think Slings had it right... Ahmed figured he could pull a shakedown, same as he did in his cave of origin. (And then hit some sleazoid bar or goat brothel before heading home to beat the wives.)

He didn't do it. He called the "Boot Man." The boot man must be even more stupid than the muzzlem.
He's from Chicago? Is he related to Jesse Jackson?
Our diversity is our strength.
In New Orleans, in *that* neighborhood... yeah, this is probably a made-up Muslim-ish name. Possibly one of Calypso Louie's boys.
I am guessing that the boot man just got some free advertising that won't be doing his business much good.
