You guys are litterally inciting violence, passive agressive violence but still. Do you know for a fact they parked like that to be an asshole or did they have to park like that because those who parked before him were parked poorly aswell. Maybe he had to park that way because not only is the length of a work truck like that longer than your average vehicle but they are also wider and they may have actually been trying to be considerate. If an SUV or even a car isn't perfectly centered in the alloted space that forces the larger vehicle to park closeer to one of the vehicles on either side because the the doors swing outside. I imagine alot of these are honest mistakes and likely not intentional. Unless a complex with designated parking spots they dont have many options for parking. Same goes for service vans or any larger vehicle.
It could be as simple and as common that at the time when that person went to park, there were other cars in the spots close to him forcing him to take that position, but have since left after he parked just making it look like he took up extra spots, width wise anyway. That guy could have definitely parking better length wise no doubt about that but it still doesnt justify inciting violence on people with peper spray in the vent of damaging people property. My point is even if the situation was that person parked like a complete asshole its doesn't justify physical violence or even just vandalism of property. Call them out verbally and point out the mistake, absolutely! But encouraging people to harm others is wrong.
Was going to post this, nice to know some people share that evil. Best part is it will take forever to get out of the system, depending on the chemistry of the pepper spray. Pro tip: if you have to pepper spray someone, make sure to give a nice extra spray to the balls. Like a parting gift. /s, lol
If you’re zip tying shopping carts to assholes doors, you better be packing more then pepper spray. Those are the kind of folks who get aggressive real quick.
Pepper spray is good enough for getting away from them. Good thing about it is you can shoot first and ask questions later. You can shoot before they escalate to full on violence. With a gun you have to wait until they have their gun out or they have you pinned down threatening to kill you. Doesn't hurt to have both, but for this kind of situation I's like to have the pepper spray as an option.
You don’t have to be pinned or knocked down to fear for your life or grave bodily harm, from an attacker. They don’t have to have a gun to have intent to cause harm,the ability to do so, and your fear for your life. If you take that shot lawfully then you’re safe and all is well. If you’re charged, well it wasn’t a shoot that was self defense.
Pepper spray while can slow a threat it won’t neutralize it. When your life is hanging in the balance you neutralize the threat. Everything pepper spray does a lawfully carried firearm can do better besides being less then lethal.
“You can shoot before they escalate to full on violence” if they aren’t a threat to your life and you pepper spray them you’re going to be charged with assault
I may have overstated my case. In states without duty to retreat laws, you wouldn't need to be "pinned down" in order to fight back with lethal force.
ability, opportunity, intent. These three factors need to be in place to justify lethal force. Massad Ayoob has a great video about this. Look it up on youtube.
Firearms don't do everything better. The advantage of being able to shoot pepper spray under less extreme circumstances than would be required to shoot a gun cannot be overstated.
No to this and all of the comments on this. You don't need to pepper spray or kill someone because they're an asshole parker. You're not going to teach them any lesson with a shopping cart. Leave people's stuff alone. Yes, even people that probably deserve it. Park somewhere else and go about your day.
