WA - Man Accidentally Shoots Self During Altercation Over Handicapped Parking Spot

[Kevlar]

A man armed with a handgun apparently shot himself accidently during a confrontation over a handicap parking spot at the Westfield Vancouver Mall this afternoon.

>snip<

He had apparently confronted another man about parking his motorcycle in a handicop spot, said Vancouver police Cmdr. Scott Bieber. He struck him with his cane and then took out a gun when accidentally shot himself.

Better the moron shoot himself than someone else.

I knew a guy in high school that did that. That hole in his arm taught him a valuable lesson in "being gangsta". Luckily for him it was a small caliber (.25 IIRC).

Mall security quickly responded and disarmed the man.

Praise Gawd!

Guy 1: Hey you can't park your bike there, thats a handicapped spot.
Guy 2: what do you care... your not handicapped.
Guy 1: oh yea? **BANG**

I think your sig line says it all:
"You went full retard, man. Never go full retard."

Can't a motorcyclist be handicapped? I've seen guys riding with artificial limbs.

One could argue proactive medicine...

Gonna get FLAMED for this one but the handicapped rule applies to riding w/o a "Brain Bucket" as well

The rider will be handicapped if he crashes without a real helmet.

If the biker had a handicap tag or sticker he has as much right to be in that spot, but if not the "shooter" took things a bit too far. I HATE it when someone parks in a reserved spot (handicapped, expectant mother, etc,) that doesn't belong there and when confronting them most have that "don't give a sh.." attitude about it, but it's easier and most satisfying to just call the cops as the fines are pretty stiff.
