Disabled veteran knocks MSNBC crew for blocking handicapped spots at polling site
By Joe Concha - 11/03/18 01:44 PM EDT
 

A disabled Air Force veteran this week voiced frustration with an MSNBC news crew for blocking handicapped parking spots outside of a polling site in Houston.

"Went to vote, and found this waiting for us," James Berrie, who has multiple sclerosis, wrote in a widely shared Facebook post. "The only van accessible spot and they’re filming in it. We asked them to move, pointed out how it was wrong, then went to vote, because it takes time to load up. But came out and still there. Not even packing up, still getting ready for their shot."

Berrie told a local CBS News affiliate that the MSNBC crew "kept coming back like, 'we’ll move in two minutes.' "

You know.....   I am going to cut them some slack, based on anyone associated with MSNBC has a mental disability.

And now one of the "comedians" on SNL has mocked a Republican candidate who actually lost an eye to an IED in the Middle East, saying he looks like a hitman in a porn movie because he wears an eyepatch.

 NBC and its various affiliates have sunk to an all new depth.

This political atmosphere is really bringing out the worst in people.

Isn't it illegal to park in  a handicapped spot if you aren't handicapped?  Where was the police?

Yes of course.... let's all cut the leftist pressholes some slack for this incident.  After all...

they are such "special" people.  They can park any place they want to park.... laws, truth and decency be damned.

[mountaineer]

Illegal to park in front of a fire hydrant, too.
No one told Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).

LSD. Long Simmering Divisions. That’s why I don’t blame Trump for the current state of affairs, I celebrate Trump and thank him for bringing the divisions to a head so we can deal with them openly, one way or the other. Of course, I’d prefer it be done through the political process. But, I’m just one man.

You remember that "Silly....Trix is for kids" commercial?  Well..."Silly, laws are for putzes".  Non-Democrat putzes, that is.  (Cue Blazing Saddles' Mexican dude saying "Laws, we don't need no steenkin laws.")

What’s it doing parked across the street from the GOP headquarters?

Think it's bad now?

Just wait until 2020.

And if Mr. Trump wins that one -- then it will REALLY "get bad".

Excellent point.  For instance.... we just "thought" the left was unhinged when GWB won in 2000.  Their loss on that one convinced me that they were all insane.   Trump's win has merely resulted in proof and clear evidence of that.  And yeah, the insane can always act more unhinged than they already have.

I saw this happen at a Polling place here in AZ, only the loiterers were McCain campaign workers circulating petitions for their Master.  Mrs. Liberty and I both have Disabled plates, but they would not budge for us until I had to get out of the car and inform the poll workers that they needed to clear the parking spot for us.  The poll workers cleared the spot, we parked and voted.

Then they had the nerve to ask us to sign a petition for McCain.  I explained in a sincere tone where they can put their petitions.

Yeah it's illegal and here in VA it can be $500 fine. two years ago there was a guy that parked in a spot at the County Fair. He started to give the County mounty some lip and was told that if he didn't shut up the vehicle would be towed and he would have to pay towing storage and the fine. Had a sudden attitude change. BTW i was the one that reported him to the Sheriff. I enjoyed watching.

In my anecdote, there was no vehicle, it was pedestrians loitering in the parking spot who refused to move, as if it was theirs.

Mostly on the Left.

Well, at least in your neck of the woods, the police show up and actually do something.  People park any old place around here --  legal or not -- and the police often won't even stop.  I live across the street from several businesses, including a day care and a convenience store.  People park in front of my driveway (illegal) or in front of the bus stop sign (also illegal).    I actually had some jerk pull INTO my driveway, park and head across the street toward the convenience store.   Started arguing with the guy, but he blew me off.  At that moment a police car came up, I tried to flag him down, the officer ignored me and kept on going.  If I had been smart, I would have waited till the idiot went into the store, then let all the air out of his tires.

The disabled vet could have parked directly in front of the news crew.
In an as inconvenient way as possible.

Perhaps even driving into it.

Blocking in the news crew would have been a stroke of genius. I wish that had happened.
