Most of the time its at a shopping mall. Why do you need to park by the door just because its close when all you are going to do IS WALK AROUND INSIDE THE MALL FOR TWO HOURS. I live near a major theme park and notice people doing it there as well. People are going to be walking around for ten hours anyways - whats another couple hundred feet?

With the money they make they could have someone drop them off at the door, but no. I have bad back problems, am on pain killers every day, and occasionally collapse to the floor, so I walk with a cane. I could get a handicap placard, but I won't, because other people deserve it more, and I can manage. One of my housemates has a placard for our car, as she is in a wheelchair. I could probably get away with using hers, and the car has handicap plates, but I STILL won't use the spot unless she is with us. Grow up and be MEN, not just spoiled children who play a tough sport.

A friend of my got nailed by her and had to go to court. She drives around and looks for people to fine. She stops at each and every store on a block, even if she never shops there, and checks their handicapped spaces and access. My friend had to go to court and he said that she lost 6 cases in a row including his. This story should have nothing to do with McNabb and everything to do with this nub job who runs around and wastes the courts time and money. For all you who think this mother is doing a good thing, think again. She is taking a good cause and turning it into a mockery of the court. Taco Bill is totally correct.

A few months ago I was leaving municipal court and saw a young woman banging her head repeatedly against the side of a parked car with an older woman standing nearbye. I asked the older woman if she needed any help. Her answer...."This building is supposed to have a handicap elevator at the main entrance". So I then asked her if she was with the woman STILL banging her head against the car. Her answer...."Yes she is my daughter ....and...Do the police in this town enforce handicap parking?". She then proceeded to tell me she drives all around south jersey looking for people parked in handicapped parking spots. So then it struck me that she probably is the person who nailed McNabb months earlier.....so I asked her. Her answer..."Yes I did......and a cursed him too. He hasn't had a good season since I got him". This woman is nuttier than her FULL GROWN daughter who was banging her head against the car.

Obviously the bar owner does not supercede any legal authority and was wrong. I thought they had paid their fines and moved on. Is this really an issue? I think McNabb sucks as much as the next Eagles fan, but I think it was more of a bad decision than McNabb laughing at all the poor disabled children not able to park there.

It was more like the all to common "I'm a star, so I park where I wanna" motto. Or perhaps it was done as a precaution to ensure there rims would be safe until there return, either way it's wrong! If they go there so often, maybe they should ask the owners to designate other closer parks for them, not the handicap parks fellas.

Using crutches does not make you handicapped. You're supposed to have either the permanent license plate or the temporary that everyone just copies anyway and hang it on your mirror. I have three disks in a row (L4-L5-S1) that are all bone-on-bone. I qualify to have the permit but I would feel like an a-h0le if I got it just so I could park 10 feet closer to the door. I have no sympathy for anyone who uses the reserved spaces and doesn't need them. Show a little class for once, McNabb (and friends).

These athletes... I cannot believe them. "Oh, my leg is hurt!" "Oh, I got hit hard in the back!" Holy crap, this is what you are paid to do! Some people and children are born with natural disabilities and they go through their lives fighting insurance companies, SSI, the government in general and numerous other battles just to get by in life. One of the good things done was to have parking places for these fine people just to make life a little easier. Now we have millionaires who could pay someone to carry them into a restaurant or where ever taking up these spaces without a handicap license. Do they know you have to have a Dr's prescription and the BMV's issuance of this parking permit? The law is the law and maybe the counter should get reset for this too? In case any one wonders, this comes from a dad who has an 11 year old daughter that has been blessed to use a wheelchair to get around in due to being paralyzed from the waiste down from birth. Many times we pass up the handicap spots (which we have a permit for) because of the many elderly people who can barely walk that need it more. I guess it comes down to judgement skills and overall decency of how you see and live your life. I am glad I don't make $10 million a year, I suppose I would think I ruled the world too.

Handicapped parking is for those who have the appropriate designation, either handicapped license plates or hanging placard. The requirements to obtain the credentials is a bit more involved than just hobbling on crutches. If not, then any slob could feign a limp with a cane while ambling into the local Wal-Mart just so they could avoid taking the extra 20 steps from a legitimate parking space. Donnie Mac is guilty of thinking the rules of society doesn't apply to him. Whether he was on crutches or not at the time of the incident is irregardless.

McNabb and Kearse will probably lose this one. This is OOOOOLD news.
