No one should get a handicapped sticker unless they are in a wheelchair. Better yet, since the “handi-capable” demand to be treated like everyone else, eliminate handicapped parking altogether.
So my poor old mother who died from heart failue, and couldn't walk more than a hundred feet or so without chest pain, shouldn't have had a handicap sitcker in the last few months of her life? This has really become a forum for those who don't think.
