I took the time to read the whole thread and am shocked that somebody didn't ask this question -- especially you OW. Of course, I figure somebody will steal my thunder before I get finished writing and proofreading.
Why in the HELL does a sports bar need to have handicapped parking spots? And I'll carry it one more step. Why does this heifer care who is parking where at a sports bar? I don't see a person who has autism or that person's caregiver having any reason or need to park in a handicapped spot at a sports bar.
This reeks of a setup. How long did she have to stalk this place or these drivers to be able to catch them parking illegally?
In the interest of of full disclosure, I'm a Cowboys fan.
Yeah, nobody in a wheelchair should be drinking a beer or watching sports--or even socializing!! </sarc>
For those who don't know and haven't bothered to find out, the autistic 20-year-old daughter in question also has physical disabilities; the mother doesn't use the placard when the daughter isn't with her.
