Comment on Glasgow’s parking lot thugs get entrepreneurialparent

In a civilized society, you don't have to "deal" with ongoing intimidation. You take care of it. If bullies are tolerated, they grow bolder. Its the story of the decay of neighborhoods etc.

Again, the point was missed. Its not about a single incident. Its about zero tolerance for disrespect, intimidation, shakedown, public bullying. So somebody other than you can park without knuckling under to some jerk.

That is exactly my point. You take care of it by not being intimidated in the first place.

Which works for a few - you among them. So the strong survive, and that's your bar for a 'civilized society'? Of course not. Your timid niece needs to be able to park her car too.
