Why should he give up a parking spot to some boisterous loudmouths (regardless of whether they are legal latinos, illegal latinos or even latino looking Italians...)
That's just it. He DIDN'T give up! He valiantly fought and won that parking space like you suggested!!
And ended up with a keyed car, maybe $500 out of his pocket for a deductible payment, a repaint that will NEVER match or have depth gloss that matches 100% the original surrounding paint, out of his car for a few days for repair. And the guys who did it? They ended up...with Lincoln LS paint on the tip of their key.
Next?
