Not liking what I'm saying doesn't mean your ass can lay hands on me. You do that, you're ass better be prepared for what's coming.
I would like to see the return of shame. The lack of feeling guilty, or shame, is one of the driving forces of the entitled shitheads destroying this country. Used to be, when you did something stupid and someone called you out, you might be a tough guy and tell them to fuck off but deep down you knew you fucked up and didn't do it again. Now, it's like open season for asshattery. Whatever you want, whenever you want it, it's ok. Fuck everyone else. it's all about me.....
In your return of "shame" and "polite society" you forgot that going on an angry aggressive tirade against some woman with her children, was the kind of thing that got you beaten to a bloody pulp by the other "polite" men in the town, no matter how "right" you were about a trivial issue. So if you want to go back to "Polite society" rules, then you best check how it works, in old fashioned "polite" society that people talk about, the shooter would have been getting out of town as fast as he could before he got strung up for murder (Yes check history of "polite societies", if you talked smack to some woman and the men came to make you accountable for your words with a good old fisticuffs and you shot them, that was usually considered murder).
Was the guy being all butt hurt about somebody in a wrong parking spot actually a disabled person that needed that spot? NO
Was the guy being all butt hurt about parking trying to help some actually disabled person who needed that spot? NO
Was there any person nearby in the parking lot with a disabled placard that might have needed the spot? NO
Too many people packing a gun think it gives them the right to be a self important rude ass..
(I may have been guilty of this myself at times on the road while expressing in sign language what I though of drivers that practically tried to cause an accident).
Try reverse roles, you come out of the store and see some aggressive guy yelling at your wife and kids over a parking spot...
HONESTLY, are you going to play beta cuck male and meekly offer to let him rail your wife while you watch and cower away... well not if most of the posts I read on here from people are any indication of what they would actually do.
There are plenty of posts here each year with some member suggesting that a bit of open handed shoving is the least thing they would do to somebody getting in their wife/GF's face and acting "disrespectful"
The shooter is lucky that the guy decided to try using non lethal force to shove him off, I would bet most here would have approached with their hands already on their guns and ready to fire.
So he is going to find out how the civil court system works and wind up probably loosing years worth of savings because he decided to make a big deal that some government mandated empty spot (which by the way robs business owners of income, just check how business calculate parking spots vs. sales for retail), was not empty for a few minutes and in some universe perhaps some disabled person might suddenly appear and want to use it those specific couple minutes. I'm pretty sure if an actual disabled person had appeared, they would have easily been able to wait a minute or two, or use one of the many other close empty spots just as easily.
I tend to try to park as far away from the entrance to a place as possible. I find the concentration of asses and issues increases the closer you get to the entrance, as does the chance of damage to your vehicle. I also am very polite to people and would never go off on a rant to someone like that. If something was significantly bothering me & I felt I had to say something, I'd politely mention it in a non threatening manner and quickly be on my way so as not to cause alarm..
The shooter is going to find out really soon how much your life can suck from killing someone in questionable circumstances even if you don't get criminally charged. I'm sure a number of lawyers are already in contact with that woman offering contingency fee based services.
